29. Catamecia buxtoni, sp. nov. 
3 Q closely allied to deceptrix, Stdgr., but at once distinguished by the 
postmedian band of forewing being much less strongly and not so evenly curv- 
ed, also this band is not so strongly nor so regularly dentate as in deceptrix. The 
black streak from the base of forewing is much stronger and more bent than in 
deceptriz and the reniform is larger and has on its basal side a large dark patch 
and a similar one is basal of the orbicular which patches are absent in deceptrix ; 
the subterminal band very sharp and angulated on and above vein 4. Hind- 
wings white but not so pure as in deceptrix being irregularly tinged with grey. 
Length of forewing: 19mm. Expanse: 42mm.

Among the 5 ¢. algira there is only one quite typical, the remaining 4 are 
intermediate between ¢. algira and typical trabealis in the amount of black on 
the forewings.
