marginal fascia, preceded in the hind wings by the distinct brown 

 central line ; apex of both wings broadly creamy white. 



Expanse of wings 62 millini. 



Hah. Sikkim. 



Akin to M. strixaria. 



[I have a pair only of this species from Moller. It seems quite 

 distinct and must be very rare. The female differs only in greater 

 size and the simple antennae. — H. J. ^.] 



Apophtga, gen. nov. 



Akin to Medasina, but distinguished by the structure of the 

 cJ antennae, which resemble those of Eubyjodonta and Buzura ; 

 the pectinations being stiff and straight, nearly at right angles to 

 the shaft, and themselves with long silky pubescence which extends 

 beyond the apex of each ; the palpi are still more acutely pointed 

 and drooping ; and the hind wings are rounded, without any trace 

 of a central point. Hind margin of both wings finely scalloped. 

 Scaling fine and glossy. 



Type, Apophyga sericea, sp. n. 



Apophtga seeicea, sp. n. 



S . Fore wings pale wood-colour, very finely dusted with brown 

 atoms ; extreme base of costa brown ; in the centre of the inner 

 margin a brown-black triangular blotch, the outer edge of which 

 is concave outwards, the apex pointing to the apex of the A^dng ; 

 the basal side of the triangle runs parallel to the costa, and after 

 interruption by a pale fascia of the gi'ound-colour is continued 

 towards the submarginal line ; this is situated near the hind 

 margin, is irregularly sinuous, broadly shaded internally with 

 brown, and forms 2 contiguous ivMte spots in the centre ; sub- 

 marginal area cinereous brown, paler at apex and anal angle ; 

 fringes brown. Hind wings whitish, somewhat glossy, mottled 

 towards the base, and inner margiu, and suffused along the hind 

 margin with grey, with 3 brown-grey diffuse lines, running from 

 the inner margin as far as the centre of the wing ; the 3rd, which 

 is submarginal, really being a brown shade which forms the inner 

 edging of a pale submarginal line. Head and collar brown-black ; 

 thorax glossy pale ochreous ; abdomen brown, with a broad blackish 

 ring at the base. Underside whitish straw-colour; fore wings 

 with the base towards the costa, the triangle on the inner margin, 

 and a broad marginal fascia cinereous-brown, all three connected 

 by a brown streak along the centre of the wing, the two white 

 spots visible, and the apex and anal angle paler, as on the upper- 

 side. Hind wings with the 2 lines blackish and the hind margin 

 brown; a distinct cell- spot on each wing, which is only visible 

 above on the hind wing. 



Expanse of wings 34 milUm.

 October, but I do not know at what elevation they were taken. A
