colour ; beneath, fore wings brown, with all the margins pale ; 

 hind wings paler brown, with the margins concolorous. 



Dedicated to Mr. Joseph Standish, whose inimitable skill in 

 colouring entomological plates gives them a reality of appearance, 

 and consequently a value, which no other colourer has hitherto 

 been able to achieve. Two specimens of this insect were pro- 

 cured.

Alts omnibus cinereis concoloribus ; anticis maculis parvis septem 

 lunatis in crescenli dispositis ante tnarginem externum alteribus- 

 que discalibus elungalis satis distaviibusfuliginosis ; subtus, alis

 Head, palpi, antennae, thorax and fore wings ashy grey ; eyes 

 rather large and very black ; the fore wings have a series of seven 

 lunate blackish spots, ranged in the form of a crescent within the 

 apical margin, exactly equidistant therefrom, and exterior to each 

 of these on the margin itself is a black point, together forming a 

 series parallel with the first ; on the disk of the wing are several 

 short black streaks or longitudinally lengthened spots, and in 

 addition to these the entire surface of the wings are densely 

 irrorated with minute black points ; the hind wings are paler 

 grey than the upper, have a silky gloss, and are entirely without 

 markings, they are very ample ; abdomen concolorous with the 

 hind wings ; beneath the fore wings are smoke-coloured, with 

 paler margins; the hind wings are pale grey and imicolorous. 



One only of this species was taken ; it is in excellent con- 

 dition, and affords the opportunity of stating that there is no 

 known species nearly allied to it.
