Primaries above pale buff; two blackish dots^ on eaeli side of the median vein, at about 

 basal third ; two brown dots placed obliquely below the cell just beyond the middle of the 

 wing ; a conspicuous Q-shaped black spot at the end of the cell ; a transverse subapical costal 

 brown spot ; a marginal series of minute black dots and a black dot at about the centre of 

 the costa ; base of costal margin greyish : secondaries cream-coloured : body above pale buff, 

 ■with the base of the antennie, shoulders, and centre of thorax brownish. Under surface 

 cream-coloured : primaries inclining to buft", clouded with greyish brown ; a brown spot at 

 the end of the cell and a marginal series of brown points : secondaries with the costal area 

 irrorated with brown ; an interrupted slender marginal brown line ; a brown dash at the end 

 of the cell : pectus and antei'ior femora silvery whitish. Expanse of wings 18 millim.

 .^mene sagittifera, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 392. 



Primaries creamy white ; base of costal margin black, confluent with an oblique subbasal 

 bar ; immediately beyond this, three black dashes in an oblique series — the first of these is 

 costal and is followed by two smaller costal spots, below each of which is a linear black dot ; 

 below the first costal spot and within the cell is a large subcuneiform black spot, and below 

 this again two small black spots parallel to the first oblique series ; at the end of the cell is 

 an irregularly formed hastate spot followed by a group of five dots, and from below the latter 

 to the inner border are two parallel oblique series of three dots ; a black triangular subapical 

 costal patch interrupting an arched series of black points ; a marginal series of black spots 

 and three grey spots on the fringe : secondaries greyish white in the male, pearl-grey in the 

 female : thorax white, abdomen grey. Underside pearl-grey : secondaries pale. Expanse 

 of wings 18 millim.

CALLINOLA, gen. nov. 



Allied to Nola, but readily distinguished by its shorter palpi, strongly pectinated incurved 

 antennae, more arched thorax, and comparatively shorter wings. Type C. antennata. 



The pattern of the wings in the species of this genus differs considerably from that of 

 Nola, the outer line of the central band of the primaries being falciform instead of denticulated 

 or zigzag, whilst the central band itself is crossed in both the known species by a series of 

 sharply defined black dashes partly united, and thus tending to form an acutely denticulated 

 line.
