In Mr. Gooch's collection are two female specimens, 

 which, although differing in the intensity of their 

 markings from the typical example described by Mr. 

 Walker> I cannot consider to be specifically distinct. 

 The bad condition of the original type prevents any 

 very accurate comparison, but there remain upon it 

 even yet some slight traces of those darker markings, 

 the absence of which might otherwise have appeared to 

 distinguish it from the two which are now before me. In 

 one of these, on the pale testaceous surface of the fore 

 wings, are to be found first, an outwardly angulated 

 fascia on the basal fourth of the wing interrupted above 

 the middle; secondly, an outwardly angulated median 

 fascia attenuated but not interrupted above the middle ; 

 thirdly, a shade along the apical margin starting 

 obliquely outwards from the commencement of the 

 outer third of the costa, angulated below the middle 

 and confluent along the dorsal margin with the median 

 fascia : all these markings are of a darker or more 

 fuscous testaceous shade than the ground colour of the 

 wing. In the second example these markings are 

 almost entirely obsolete, except upon the costal margin. 

 I should consider this specimen as forming the connect- 

 ing link between the type of the species and the one 

 above described. 



The male will probably be found to have a costal fold, 

 as the structure and appearance of the three females 

 before me are in all respects those of the genus Caccecia.

This species seems to differ in the absence of trans-
