and rather narrower, grey: the primaries crossed by three

LYGRANOA, n. gen. 
Allied to Lobophora, but the primaries broader and more 
acuminate, the discoidal cell considerably shorter, the second 
and third median branches emitted much closer together, the 
upper radial emitted from the end of the cell instead of from 
the postdiscoidal cellule; antenne strongly pectinate in the 
male. Type L. fusca. 
216. Lygranoa fusca, n. sp. 
Pale brown, wings with slender blackish marginal line, 
followed by a yellowish line at the base of the fringe: prima- 
ries with dusky base ; an abbreviated black costal dash across 
the end of the cell, and a second halfway between the cell and 
apex ; two irregular subparallel brown lines running from the 
costal dashes across the wing to inner margin ; a subapical 
black costal spot ; fringe whitish, intersected by a grey stripe. 
Wings below sericeous whity brown ; discocellular dets and a

MELANTHIA, Duponchel. 
217. Melanthia casta, n. sp. 
Nearly allied to M. albicitlata, but larger ; the markings 
more sharply defined and blackish; the macular subapical 
portion of the interrupted discal stripe bifid, not trifid, 
and therefore not united to the large costal patch; dis- 
cocellular spots black and well defined. Wings below with 
darker markings; the macular discal stripe well defined in 
the secondaries as well as the primaries. Expanse 1 inch 
6 lines.
