Nearly allied to 0. rosea from Nova Scotia, but much 

 larger and duller in colouring, the central band moreover 

 being of more equal width throughout. It is just possible that 

 the type of Drepanulides (?) rufulus of Motschulsky may be a 

 rubbed and faded specimen of this species ; but it is impossible 

 to tell without seeing it. 



46. Drepana scahwsa, n. sp. 



Above pearly grey : primaries with the costal margin 

 golden orange ; a submarginal dark grey stripe ; fringe 

 greyish brown ; an angulated central transverse series of 

 squamose brown spots, surrounded by sordid white zones : 

 secondaries wnth a similar spot at the end of the cell, two or 

 three scarcely perceptible parallel discal greyish lines • fringe 

 brown; collar golden orange. Under surface pale strami- 

 neous, rather brighter towards apex of primaries ; fringe grey. 

 Expanse 1 inch 5 lines.
