 2. Lithacodia picatina, sp. n. (PI. I. fig. 2.) 



^ . — 22 mm. 



This species has liitherto been mixed with picata, Btlr., in 

 the British Mnsenm and evidently also at Tring, for it is 

 figured in Seitz (Macro-Lep. vol. xi. pi. xxvi. a) as picata. 

 The two species are quite clearly distinguishable by the 

 triangular dark patch on base of costa in picata being 

 replaced in picatina by a golden-brown streak along the 

 costa ; by the antemedial line being only slightly crenulate 

 in picatina, not angled at the folds as in picata ; by the 

 absence in picatina of the postmcdial dark point on costa 

 and the black point at upper angle of cell, the black spot at 

 lower angle of cell being also reduced in size ; by the sub- 

 terminal line being almost obsolete in picatina ; and (perhaps 

 the most constant distinction of all) by the shape of the 

 white mark on distal margin, from S(J' to R^ which forms a 

 nariow patch \n picatina, c\\\\ie separate from the other white 

 markings, but in picata is less sharply marked and is always 

 conjiected by a white bar between R' and R^ with the white 

 ])ostmedial and tornal areas. Fringe of fore wing in picatina 

 wliitish-brown, tipped with grey. In other respects exactly 

 agrees with Hampson's description of picata, Cat. Lep, Plial. 

 X. p. 503.

S . — 27 mm. 



This species belongs to the section of the genus called

 little darker ; palpus, pectus, and legs ochrcous-brown, the
