298 Mr. Newman's Characters 



divaricating, extend not only to the margin but to the extreme 

 points of the cilia ; hind wings white, without marks, the cilia, 

 except as already indicated, white : beneath, fore wings brown ; 

 hind wings and all the cilia white. 



One specimen only was taken ; it is not nearly allied to any 

 described species.

Head and labial palpi testaceous yellow ; eyes and antennae dark 

 brown ; pronotum yellow ; tippets apparently dark brown ; fore 

 wings yellowish-grey, with various transverse dark brown marks ; 

 the first is a costal spot near the base, the second a straight but 

 lobed fascia ; following this are two narrow and abbreviated fasciae, 

 one rising from the costa, the other from the hind margin ; these 

 do not meet on the disk of the wing ; beyond them, and occupying 

 the centre of the wing is a V-shaped mark, that is, a fascia single 

 and entire at the inner margin, but immediately divided into two 

 widely separating branches which reach the costa ; beyond this 

 again is an amorphous fascia, its basal portion broad and somewhat 

 lunate, its apical portion bent and much narrower does not reach 

 the costa ; finally a blotch of the same dark colour occupies the 

 apical and another the anal angle ; each of these gives off a slender 

 limb toward the disk of the wing, almost enclosing a pale marginal 

 space ; underwings brown, with concolorous cilia : beneath, all the 

 wings are dark brown, with concolorous cilia, 



A single specimen of this insect was taken. Mr. Stainton thinks 

 it has some resemblance to (Ecophora Dorkhausenii, but is abun- 

 dantly distinct.
