“ Fairly plentiful” (2. C.). 
Quite new to the Museum series: Mr. Kirby is of opinion that 
it is the same as Metagarista rendalli, Rothsch., and it is quite 
possible that he may be correct.

130. PHALERA LATIPENNIS, sp.n. (Plate XLII. fig. 3.) 
6. Broader in the wings than any other species of the genus; 
the antenne broadly pectinated as in P. argentifera; the upper 
radial of the primaries springing from the anterior angle of the 
cell, instead of from the subcostal; general scheme of colouring 
recalling P. flavescens. Primaries above creamy white ; base of 
costa sprinkled with black and brick-red scales; a band of red 
scales crossing the wing at about basal third and followed imme- 
diately by a band of black scales, both divided by the pale nervures; 
two or three ill-defined greyish and testaceous stripes across the 
middle of the wing; at external two-sevenths is a broad belt almost 
parallel to outer margin, consisting first of a subangulated oblique 
series of black lunules, immediately followed by a more or less 
lunulate brick-red stripe, somewhat blackish in the centre, and 
lastly by a grey band irrorated with black and separating into vague 
lunules towards apex ; a few ill-defined submarginal spots of black 
scales : secondaries sericeous ochreous, veins dusty, becoming black 
at apex and on outer margin: head, collar, and centre of thorax 
brownish ochreous; antenne black; pterygodes and metathorax 
white, somewhat ochreous at the sides; an oblique black bar on 
the front of the pterygodes; abdomen reddish ochreous, with grey 
dorsal patches on each segment. Wings below ochreous, the veins 
chiefly black beyond the middle; the primaries from beyond the
