anticis nitentibus dilute aurantio-flavidis. Ciliis roseo-

Head rather rough with some erect scales, dull rosy 

 brown. Thorax dull rosy brown. Palpi recurved, rather 

 slender, not overarching the vertex, rosy pinkish. 

 Antennae brownish. Fore wings with the apex some- 

 what rounded, the anal angle not well denned, bright 

 shining pale orange-yellow. A rosy pink shade occupies 

 the extreme base, and overspreads the costal third of the 

 wing to the apex, gradually blending with the pale 

 ground colour ; below this shade are two rosy-pink spots 

 on the disc, one before and one beyond the middle ; a few 

 rosy-pink scales about the dorsal and apical margins ; 

 the cilia bright rosy pink. Hind wings pale smoky 

 grey, with a slight rosy tinge towards the apex. Expanse, 

 24 mm. 



Two specimens received from the late Colonel Harvey

Capite et thorace albis. Antennas dilute brunneis. 

 Palpis albis, articulo apicali roseo suffuso. Alis anticis 

 rotundatis albis, costa anguste rosea, macula ante 

 medium triangulare cujus apex attenuatus externe ad 

 finem cellulas productus dilute brunneus, margine apicali 

 et basi marginis dorsalis dilute brunneis. Ciliis albis. 

 Alis posticis cum ciliis albis. 



Head and thorax white. Antennae pale brownish. 

 Palpi white, the apical joint suffused with rose-colour. 

 Fore wings with the apex rounded, the anal angle also 

 rounded, white, the costa narrowly bright rose-colour, 

 having, slightly beyond its middle, a triangular pale 

 brown patch, of which the apex is produced in an 

 attenuated and angulated streak to the end of the cell, 

 reaching about half-way across the wing. The apical 

 margin is also pale brown, the space occupied by this 

 colour clearly denned and attenuated towards the anal 

 angle. A pale brown shade lies along the base of the 

 dorsal margin. Cilia white. Hind wings and cilia white. 

 Expanse, 16 mm.
