 25. Crambodes minor, n. s. 



Considerably smaller than C. talidiformis, with pale costal area 

 to primaries and brownish secondaries; primaries above silvery 

 grey, darker and with bronze-brown reflections in an oblique line 

 from the inferior angle of the cell to the apex, so as to form an ill- 

 defined diffused streak, crossed by a black-edged tapering longi- 

 tudinal cream-coloured streak from the reniform spot; discoidal 

 cell and reniform spot also cream-coloured; a slightly curved 

 longitudinal white litura in the cell just above the median vein ; 

 reniform spot white-edged, and enclosing a small brown spot below 

 the median vein ; a discal series of short black dashes upon the 

 internervular folds towards outer margin; fringe blackish, inter- 

 rupted by slender white lines in continuation of the veins ; internal 

 border cream-coloured towards base, two or three irregularly placed 

 black or blackish subbasal longitudinal lines ; secondaries shining 

 pale brownish grey, slightly darker towards outer margin ; fringe

26. Crioa acronyctina, n. s. 



Aspect of the genus Pharetra (Acronycta, part, auct.) ; primaries 

 whitish cinereous, black-speckled ; about six short oblique black 

 abbreviated costal striae followed by the discal line, which is very 

 irregular, commencing at the subcostal vein, running obliquely 

 outwards almost to the upper radial vein, where it bends down at 

 a sharp angle and runs transversely to the second median branch, 

 where it again turns abruptly inwards and forms a deep sinus 

 (through the centre of which the first median branch passes), then 

 inwards again to meet the inner line, which is 3-shaped and con- 

 tinuous with the third costal stria; three subapical longitudinal
