Whitish. Primaries traversed by five dark grey lines, the 

 fouitli double ; costa has a broad ochreous streak, increasing 

 in width towards outer margin; there is a blackish-grey mark at 

 the base of costa and five others beyond, from the third, fourth, 

 and fifth of which the second, third, and fourth transverse lines 

 commence ; the costal half of the double fourth line is clouded 

 with bhickisli grey, and there are two spots of the same colour 

 tow^ards costa beyond fifth line and one on costa just before 

 apex ; discal spot black. Secondaries have three dark grey 

 transverse lines, the second double ; discal dot black. Fringes 

 silky, preceded by blackish-grey dots towards apex of pri- 

 maries and about the middle of secondaries. Under surface 

 whitish ; primaries have an elongate blackish patch at base 

 and two irregular blackish bands beyond, extending from 

 costa to second median nervule, whence they are continued as 

 lines to inner margin : secondaries have lines of upper surface 

 faintly reproduced.

Hydrelia 'punctilinearia, sp. n. 



Somewhat similar to H. recurvilineata^ but the orange 

 markings are more restricted, the transverse lines of primaries 

 are more clearly defined, and all the wings have a distinct 

 submarginal line, macular or interruj)ted. The three lines on 

 secondaries are finer, wider apart, and the two outer ones are 

 dotted with black on the nervules.
