MACROTES NETRIX. 213 



in the specimen now described. The general colour 

 is pale buff, with rather darker brown shades and 

 dots, some of the latter being larger and more dis- 

 tinct, especially one near the bar of the costa, 

 another above the middle, and two close to the tip 

 of the fore wings, which are also slightly marked 

 with three faint transverse fascias at equal distances 

 apart; the costa at the base, and cilia, are pur- 

 plish. The hind wings have an angulated vitreous 

 discoidal spot, margined with black, with a purple 

 patch between it and the costa; behind this is a 

 curved row of dark dots on the veins, and the anal 

 angle is also purplish, as are also the anterior tibia? 

 and the patch of scales at the base of the anterior 

 tarsi. 



The specimen figured is in the collection of the 

 Rev. F. W. Hope. Its locality is unknown. 



The expansion of the wings is two inches and 

 one-third.
