Capua epipepla, n. sp. 



d , 14 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax pale-ochreous. 

 Antennae whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings elong- 

 ate, moderate, costa arched, termen nearly straight ; 7 and 8 

 long-stalked ; pale-ochreous, irregularly strigulated with fus- 

 cous-ferruginous, and with fuscous-ferruginous markings; 

 costal fold rather broad, dull-ochreous ; basal patch obsolete, 

 only indicated by a small patch of apparently raised scales 

 on dorsum at J ; median patch rather narrow, very oblique 

 from middle of costa to middle of wing, thence becoming con- 

 fused and blotch-like, terminating just above tornus, below 

 which the ground colour is mixed with ferruginous-fuscous ; 

 a moderate, somewhat triangular costal patch, from f costa 

 to apex, lower edge terminating on middle of termen ; be- 

 tween this and median patch is a thick streak of ground 

 colour, which becomes a quadrate spot on costa ; an extreme 

 apical streak of ground colour. Hindwings whitish-ochreous, 

 darker posteriorly; cilia pale-ochreous.

 half and containing a dull leaden spot immediately above 

 dorsum ; anterior edge of median patch from before middle 

 of costa to middle of dorsum ; posterior edge from middle of 

 costa, thence very obliquely curved to tornus, causing the 

 patch to appear narrow on costa, thence rapidly dilated to 

 tornus ; a moderately broad, elongate, triangular patch on 

 apical fourth of costa and termen, continued obliquely along 

 termen to above tornus : a narrow streak of ground colour
