158 PllOF. K. B. POULTUX OX 



Fore wing with fovea slight, S0'~'^ coincident, touching G at a 

 point ; dirty white irrorated with brown-grey, leaving clearer a 

 slight, ill-defined antemedian band (at least towards hind margin), 

 a fairly broad but exceedingly ill-defined band just distally to the 

 cell-dot and especially a broad, somewhat sinuous subterminal 

 line, from costa at less than 1 mm. before apex to tornus, slightly 

 dark-shaded proximally, especially at costa and hind margin ; a 

 small discal dot near costa at middle ; a slightly darkened terminal 

 line, interrupted at the veins ; fringe pale (whitest proximally), 

 traversed in middle by a fine grey line and cut throughout its 

 length by brown-grey spots opposite the veins. Hind wing with 

 tennen almost smooth (scarcely waved) ; similar to fore wing, but 

 with pale band-like markings scarcely indicated, subterminal line 

 not quite so conspicuous as on fore wing ; no discal dot ; 

 indications of a dark spot (end of a line) about middle of inner 

 margin. Under surface similarly but more faintly marked ; 

 discal dot of fore wing absent. 



1910; Feb. 14,-1 6 (type). 



A very distinct though modest little species ; it may be 

 pictured by imagining a miniature editioii of the North American 

 " Sciagraphia " nubicidata Pack., exceedingly washed-oiit, dark 

 lines of hind wing absent; structure as in that species, wings 

 slightly narrower. 



DiSCALMA CALVIFRONS, Sp. U. (PI. II. fig. 14, c? •) 



c? 17-20 mm. Face rather protuberant, rough, almost scale- 

 less, with small horny prominences at upper and again at lower 

 edge. Palpus rather short, rough-scaled, grey mixed with fuscous, 

 3rd joint very small and blunt. Antenna with joints projecting, 

 the ciliation about as long as diameter of shaft, arranged in very 

 slender even fascicles. Thorax and abdomen concolorous with 

 wino-s, the patagia in front more fuscous. Hind tibia with hair- 

 pencil. Fore wing with fovea ; not broad, the termen being 

 rather straight and moderately strongly oblique ; SC^'^ coincident, 

 sometimes free, sometimes slightly connected or anastomosing at 

 a point with one or both of the adjacent veins ; white-grey, 

 ii'rorated with brownish fuscous ; discal dot black, vaiiable in size ; 

 lines fuscous, irrorated more or less with blackish, sometimes 

 sharply dark at costa ; antemedian from nearly one -fourth costa, 

 oblique outwards, strongly angled in front of M, then oblique 

 inwards to M, here sometimes marked with a blackish dot, then 

 running perpendicularly to hind margin, occasionally with a very 

 slight curve inwards ; median line very variable in strength and 

 thickness, usually crossing, sometimes just proximal to, the discal 

 dot almost straight except for a small proximal bend at costa ; 

 postmedian from before three-fourths costa, vertical or (oftener) 

 slightly oblique oiitM^ards, curved or angled at Il\ thence about 

 parallel with termen, marked with blackish vein-dots, sinuate 

 inwards in submedian area and slightly oblique outwards at hind 

 margin ; distal area (at least in its proximal half) clouded with
