353 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 



an oblique black litura between these lines and below the 

 orbicular spot ; veins on the disk alternately black and white, 

 a series of more or less sagittate interneural black streaks along 

 the external border, most prominent near external angle, 

 limited internally by an ill-defined whitish line ; an undulated 

 marginal black line, fringe sordid white ; thorax whitish : 

 under surface whitish, primaries and pectus tinted with pale 

 purplish brown ; wings shining. Expanse of wings 2 inches 

 2 lines. 



24. Acronycta consanguis, n. sp. (no. 637). 



Close to A. menyanthidis, but decidedly greyer, the sagit- 

 tate marking near external angle of primaries more distinctly 

 and neatly formed, as in A. tridens, the ^-like marking at 

 the base replaced by a black-edged 8-shaped brownish mark- 

 ing. Expanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines. 



The secondaries of this species are decidedly browner than 

 in A. menyanthidis, and there is a well-defined pale brown 

 discal stripe. 



Leucarriidse. 

 25. MytJdmna deparca, n. sp. (no. 703). 



Allied to M. placida ; primaries pale greenish buff-coloured, 

 external third ferruginous, crossed longitudinally by grey 

 veins spotted with black, and transversely by a somewhat 

 angulated dark-edged yellow line limiting the external border ; 

 inner edge of the external third regularly undulated, a slightly 

 darker ferruginous undulated line just inside it across the 

 disk ; two geminated dark grey lines, converging towards 

 costa, upon the basal area, a black dot between these within 

 the cell, and a second below the cell ; discoidal spots outlined 

 in ferruginous, the reniform placed upon a ferruginous nebula 

 from which a streak of the same colour runs to the inner 

 margin ; fringe rosy ferruginous, traversed by a grey line and 

 spotted with ochreous : secondaries bronzy brown, darkest at 

 outer border : fringe rosy, with yellow basal line : body above 

 greenish buff- coloured, the centre of the thorax and fringe 

 of the abdomen ferruginous ; antennae with brown pecti- 

 nations. Wings below shining whity brown, with ferruginous 

 borders, blackish discocellular spots, a dusky submarginal 

 line ; primaries clouded with greyish brown : body below 

 ferruginous ; palpi and upper surface of front legs purplish 

 brown, tarsi yellowish ; other legs above blackish, banded
