Pessocosma suffusalis^ sp. n. 



Fore wings sandy ochreous, the lines dark bro\Yn, broadly 

 edged with white, and not reaching either margin ; the exte- 

 rior, starting below the costa, is represented by six dark 

 intraneural spots, preceded by a broadish, and followed by a 

 narrow, white space, and ends in a larger white spot in tiie 

 middle of the inner margin, immediately underneath the reni- 

 form stigma, which is narrow, dark-margined, and with a 

 white centre ; fringes chequered, dark and light. Hind 

 wings white, with a sandy-coloured marginal band, which is 

 broadest at the inner angle and is preceded by a sinuous 

 brown submarginal line; towards the base are three round 

 dark-edged spots filled in with sandy ochreous, the two nearer 

 the base, of the same size and small, the third, nearer the 

 centre, much larger. Head, thorax^ and abdomen sandy. 

 Underside like upper, with the markings more distinct. In 

 one of the examples the markings are almost entirely lost in 

 the sandy suflusion.
