traversed by seven or eight darker lines, the central one and sometimes one or two of the 

 others blackish. Under snrface whitish, shining ; the wings with black discocellular dashes 

 followed by an angulated black-dotted dusky stripe, two discal stripes and the outer margin 

 grey ; fringe and marginal line as above : primaries with costal and subcostal blackish dashes

COREMIA, Gnen. 



Coremia divergens. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 18.) 



Nearest to C. propuynata of Europe : smaller ; the primaries grey, varied with whitish- 

 cinereous transverse undulated lines ; the central belt much broader than in C. inopiujnata, 

 less irregular, bordered inside by a black stripe excepting on the lower half of its outer edge, 

 where it is only represented by a dai'k grey and whitish line ; the two black lines ou the belt 

 of the European species are absent in C. divergens; the basal area is bounded externally by 

 a blackish band in place of the two lines on C. propugnata ; there is a dark patch on the 

 external area just above the middle, but the lines across this area are not blackish at the 

 costa : the secondaries only show one angular grey line halfway between the cell and the 

 outer margin ; on the under surface, however, there are three parallel lines. The under 

 surface is sericeous whitish, the primaries somewhat greyish ; the markings indistinct. 

 Expanse of wings 22 millim.

SCOTOSIA, SUph. 

 Scotosia indistincta. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 19.) 



? . Primaries above sericeous, dull silvery grey ; markings, excepting the black subbasal 

 line, the black spots and dashes on the veins, and the triangular marginal spots, indistinct 

 from the median vein downwards ; the pattern somewhat resembles that of <S. subaiidiatu of 

 Europe, but the lines of the central belt are placed nearer to the base and there are two dark 

 subapical spots, one on the costa, the other near the outer margin, on the i-adial interspaces : 

 secondaries paler silver-grey, almost white on the eosta ; an abbreviated darker wavy line 

 from the centre of the abdominal margin to the cell ; two continuous parall(;l lines beyond 

 the middle; anal angle occupied by a whitish patch crossed by two dark grey bisinuated 

 lines ; the remainder of the external border broadly grey, slightly darker than the ground- 

 colour ; a marginal series of black luuules ; fringe creamy whitish, tipped with grey and 

 regularly spotted with blackish ; vertex of head and mctathorax white ; abdomen brown, 

 barred with white. Under surface shining silver-grey, crossed beyond the middle by three
