Gnophos lenttginosaria, sp. n, 



Male. — All the wings white, heavily freckled and clouded 

 with fuliginous grey. The primaries have a blackish patch 

 on the costa extending to and enclosing the black discal spot ; 

 a smaller spot of the same colour lies between this patch and 

 the base of the wing and a larger one beyond it, from which 

 an interrupted narrow blackish band proceeds across the wing 

 to the inner margin ; just beyond this line is a large rather 

 round blackish spot. Secondaries have a blackish discal spot. 

 Fringes fuliginous grey, marked with white but hardly 

 chequered, and preceded by a blackish line. Under surface of 

 all the wings white; primaries are fuliginous grey on basal 

 area, and a broad streak of the same colour extends to a break 

 in the fuliginous- grey border of outer margin ; the costa is 

 narrowly ochreous and has three blackish spots on it, the 

 second of these extends to the discal spot, and the third gives 

 rise to a narrow blackish band, which crosses the wing almost 

 to the submedian nervure : secondaries have the costa nar- 

 rowly striated with dark grey, a blackish discal spot, and six 

 or seven blackish spots forming a curved series from costa to 

 inner margin. Antennae simple. Head blackish. Thorax 

 corresponds with the wings. Abdomen above greyish, marked 

 with ochreous on the segmental divisions ; entirely ochreous 

 beneath ; the legs also are greyish above and ochreoas 

 beneath. 



Fbmale. — Rather more ample in the wing, but colour and 

 marking similar to the male. 



Expanse -47-52 millira.
