13. sellana, Hiib. Alls anticis pallide ochraceis ; prope ad apicem 

 bmnneo fuscoque variegatis, margirie postico brunneo; posticis 

 fusco-nigris. $ Exp. al. 6| 7 lin. 



Head and face dusky brown. Eyes black. Palpi longer than the 

 head ; above drab at base, smoky black at the apex ; at sides dusky; 

 beneath drab. Antennae fuscous. Thorax dusky brown, speckled 

 with drab, palest behind. Patagia at base dusky brown ; the apices 

 drab. Anterior wings dull, drab, inclining to pale ochreous, with 

 dark clouds to near the apex, and the apex itself brown. The basal 

 cloud extends fully three-fourths along the costa, and to the anal 

 angle on the opposite margin : it is composed of a rhomboid darker 

 patch at the base, followed by a somewhat paler space before the 

 central fascia, which is broad, irregular, and tolerably sharply de- 

 nned, and as dark as the basal patch ; an irregular brown patch 

 occupies the apical angle, and between this and the basal cloud, 

 towards the anal angle, is a cinereous spot, bordered with white. 

 On the costa before the middle are two, and beyond three, gemina- 

 tions, the former cinereous, the latter pale drab. Apical scales and 

 cilia brown, paler at the anal angle. Posterior wings at the base 

 whitish, merging into fuscous at the margin. $ Exp. al. 6| 7 lin. 

 Anterior wings as in the <$ ; posterior wings wholly fuscous. Mar- 

 ginal scales fuscous, with drab bases. Cilia cinereous. 



A rare species, allied to A. Sauciana, but much smaller in 

 size, and not so dark in colour. Occurs at the Hilly Field near 

 Mickleham. 



14. ustulana, Haw. Alis anticis fuliginosis ; basi pone medium 

 margineque apicali brunneo ustulatis ; punctis duobus costalibus 

 fulvis ; posticis fusco-fuliginosis. <5 Exp. al. 41 lin. 



Head fuscous, slightly darker in front. Face rather darker than 

 the head. Eyes black. Palpi as long, and of same colour as the 

 head, except at the base beneath, where they are paler. Antennae 

 fuscous. Thorax fuscous, banded with darker brown, the crest rich 

 brown. Patagia fuscous at the base ; paler, inclining to dusky drab, 

 at the apex. Anterior wings dull, pale pinkish brown, with a golden 

 tinge, clouded nearly all over with patches and markings of various 

 shades of dark brown. The basal patch is much angulated, has a 

 pale violet tinge at the base which softens into chocolate-brown ; 

 the central fascia is of the latter colour, streaked with darker shades, 

 is angulated on both edges, and narrows towards the dorsal margin. 

 The space between this and the basal patch is streaked in the 

 middle, of dark colour, with a pale violet tinge ; on the fold is an 

 oblong mark placed longitudinally, with its extremities pale and 

 shining. The apical portion of the wing is filled up with chocolate- 

 brown streaks, especially at the apex, mixed and preceded by dark 

 streaks slightly violet. At the subapical portion of the costa, and at 

 the anal angle, are somewhat paler clouds, having a golden lustre ;
