Bleptina, Gu^n. 

 (403.) Bleptinal * sordescens^ n. sp. (PI. XI. fig. 11.) 



Dull smoky g^'&J' Fore wiugs with a faintly indicated 

 transverse median band, having somewhat darker zigzag 

 inner and outer margins which are irregularly bordered by 

 clearer greyish white, and containing an obscure ill-defined 

 pale greyish-white reniform spot, surrounding a linear semi- 

 lunar greyish dash ; hind margin bordered by a pale greyish- 

 white border, slightly iridescent in some positions, and pre- 

 senting on its inner margin three dentate projections, one 

 apical, a second more evenly triangular just above middle of 

 hind margin, and a second bicuspid one near the anal angle. 



Hind wings dull smoky greyish, with faint indications of a 

 median transverse stripe and a pale marginal band as in fore 

 wings, but with quite straight inner border. 



Underside. — Paler, grey whitish, with brownish-grey disco- 

 cellular spots, small, faint, and indefinite on fore wrings, much 

 larger, deeper, tinted and subovate on hind wings ; a brownish- 

 grey transverse stripe, narrow and faint on front wings, broader 

 and more distinct on hind wings ; a broad dull smoky-grey 

 submarginal band-like effusion, and the pale greyish-white 

 hind marginal band, with its inner border dentated in fore 

 wings ; even in hind wings, as on upperside ; fringes rather 

 shorter, greyish white ; palpi long, recurved over head and 

 front of thorax j the first joint somewhat roughly scaled 



* The generic position of this species must be taken as provisional. 

 Bleptina appears to me to contain a number of species referable to sepa- 

 rate genera, but which I could not spare time to examine critically. Vena- 

 tion will be found to be of little help, being, as far as I could see, tolerably 

 uniform throughout the group, and, in fact, throughout the wliole of the 

 Deltoids. The palpi, wing-form, &c. may afford better aid towards a 

 rearrangement of the species.
