leaden grey on tl»o middle of the base, is a reduplicated patch 

 on the middle of the dorsum, outlined before and behind with 

 leaden grey, the inner line produced backward obliquely to 

 the costa ; before the tornus is a similar ferruginous dorsal 

 patch, alt^o outlined with leaden grey, the inner line furcate 

 from above the fold and enclosing between its two branches 

 which reach the costa a triangular ferruginous medio-costal 

 patch, the outer line also produced upward to the costa, where 

 it forms the inner margin of an anteapical ferruginous costal 

 patch ; the apical and terminal area is somewhat speckled 

 with leaden grey, a reduplicated slender ferruginous marginal 

 line running at the base of the shining coppery ochreous cilia 

 (the first costal and the second dorsal patches are sometimes 

 obliquely and narrowly contiuent, but they send out no out- 

 ward projection toward the apex, as in aleella, Schulze). 

 Exp. al. 22 mm. Hind icings tawny brownish grey, with a 

 shade-line near the base of the whitish cilia. Abdomen 

 brownish grey. Legs whitish.

This species has the appearance of a very large form of 

 aleella, Schulze, with which it agrees in neuration, but which 

 is placed by Meyrick, wrongly as I thiidv, in the genus 

 Phalonia, Hb.

 bright orange-ochreous, and with two oblique bright ferrugi- 

 nous transverse fasciae, much diffused at their edges ; the 

 first runs from the middle of the costa to the basal half of 

 the dorsum, somewhat dilated at its extremities, especially 

 toward the costa, and attenuated on the fold ; the second 

 parallel with the first and attenuated at its middle beyond the 

 end of the cell ; there is a narrow ferruginous shade along the 

 costa from the base to the first fascia ; cilia pale ochreous. 

 Exp. al. 21 mm. Hind wings rather dark grey ; cilia paler.
