cated and those of the primaries oblique and converging 

 towards the apex. 



76. Orihocabera sericea, n. sp. (no. 477). 



^ . Sericeous snow-white : wings crossed by four bands, 

 the first three of primaries and the third of secondaries formed 

 of double sandy brown lines, tapering and converging towards 

 the apex of the primaries, the first and second of secondaries 

 reduced to single lines of the same colour, the first being 

 quite basal and therefore only just visible ; a submarginal 

 line sinuated on the primaries and a marginal line also of the 

 same colour : primaries with a minute dark brown discocel- 

 lular dot ; costal margin slenderly brownish : head and an- 

 tennas yellowish. Wings below snow-white, immaculate : 

 primaries with the costa pale golden brown : palpi yellowish ; 

 legs varied with dead gold (perhaps due to abrasion). Ex- 

 panse of wings 1 inch 5 lines. 



Macariidse. 



77. Macaria Pryeri y n. sp. (no. 494). 



Snow-white : wings streaked and mottled with greyish 

 brown, crossed by two sandy brown lines, the first at basal 

 fourth, the second duplicated as far as the second median 

 branch of primaries, where it divides into a fork, the inner 

 branch running through the discocellulars to costa, the outer 

 branch carried on for a short distance and then abruptly 

 elbowed so as to run parallel to the inner one, this outer 

 stripe upon the primaries interrupted by black spots ; a broad 

 greyish-brown band almost uniting with the duplicated stripe 

 and sharply angulated externally, divided from the outer 

 border (which is striated with dark brown) by a macular 

 stripe of the ground-colour ; a marginal series of black spots : 

 crest of head, antennas, and collar sandy or golden brown ; 

 abdomen pearly white, the anterior segments with black 

 dorsal dots in pairs. Wings below with the lines simple and 

 badly defined, the mottling golden brown. Expanse of wings 

 1 inch 5 lines. 



78. Macaria irrorata, n. sp. (no. 496) . 



Clear sandy yellow, speckled with black : wings with the 

 fringe black-spotted; a small black spot on the discocellulars; 

 a slender, arched, black line, bordered with pale buff, and 

 interrupted by the yellow veins, just beyond the middle ; 

 traces of a discal series of black spots, most distinct upon the
