284 Mr. Newman's Characters 



both of them surrounded with a dark border ; one of these spots 

 is near the first of the fasciae, the second, half way between this 

 and the base ; tlie legs and abdomen beneath are clothed with 

 long loose smoke-coloured hair, there is a pure white spot at the 

 apex of the femora and another at the apex of the tibiae. 



Mr. Oxiey has brought but a single specimen of this ; it is a 

 beautifully marked although plainly coloured insect, and is en- 

 tirely unlike any described species with which I am acquainted.

 Fcem. — Alls omnibus fuscis ; utriusque macuUs duabus albis, ciliis 

 Jlavescentibus ; antennis fuscis ; capite sternoque fulvis ; thorace 

 fusco pilis longis obsito ; abdominis segynentibus basallbus fulvis, 

 apiculibus fuscis fulvo-marginatis, apice ipso fulvo. (Alarum 

 dilat. 2 unc.) 



Female, — Head and prothorax fulvous, antennae about as long 

 as the thorax, slender, slightly pectinated, brown ; eyes small, 

 brown ; mesonotum brown, clothed with long spreading brown 

 hairs ; abdomen fulvous at the base, three segments near the 

 apex nearly black, their margins fulvous, the penultimate segment 

 brown, the last fulvous: wings on both sides of an uniform 

 smoky brown, each with two conspicuous white spots and fulvous 

 cilia ; in the fore wing the larger white spot is a square with the 

 angles rounded, it is placed about the centre, but nearer the costa 

 than the anal angle, and nearer the apex than the base, between 

 this and the base is a smaller rounder spot ; in the hind wings the 

 larger spot is drop-shaped, rather nearer the costal margin than 

 the anal angle, the lesser spot is less clearly defined and exactly 

 intermediate between the larger and the base of the wing. 



This beautiful insect is dedicated to M. Guenee, as a slight 

 tribute of my profound admiration of that prince of living Lepi- 

 dopterists. The specimen is, I believe, at present unique, and I 

 know of nothing at all resembling it in the distribution of colour.
