 denticulate central shade in the middle ; submarginal line more or 

 less regularly cuneiform, preceded and followed by fulvous, dusted 

 with greyish silvery ; costal space between 2nd and submarginal 

 lines diffusely fuscous ; a diffuse dark fuscous blotch from the 

 angulation of the 2nd line runs obliquely to the hind margin; 

 inner margin, from base to anal angle, pale fulvous ; fringes 

 chequered, preceded by a row of shallow black lunules. Hind

PsiLALCIS DENTILl>-i;A, sp. n. 



(5 . Fore wings m hitish ochreous, sparsely dusted with irregular 

 fuscous atoms, with a longitudinal yellowish stripe along the 

 median, extending to the fringes ; 1st line fuscous, indistinct, 

 interrupted, forming 2 curves concave basewai'ds and 3 teeth 

 pointing to the base on the subcostal, median, and submedJan veins ; 

 this liue is edged internally by spaces of pale ground-colour, 

 entirely without dark atoms, most broadly in the 2 curves ; 2ud 

 line, which is twice as far from the 1st on the costa as on the 

 inner margin, also denticulate outwards on the veins, and forming 

 a series of small curves between them and one larger one above 

 the inner margin, approaching the lower of the two curves of the 

 1st liue; discal spot dark fuscous; space between the 2 lines 

 much dusted with fuscous, especially towards costa and inner 

 margin, and sometimes almost suffused with fuscous ; the 

 2nd liue is followed by a series of pale spaces similar to those 

 before the 1st line ; submarginal line formed of interrupted 

 fuscous blotches, wedge-shaped externally, and followed by an 

 interrupted pale denticulate line ; hind margin itself fuscous in
