Lepidopiera of the family Lithosiidcp. 341 



bands three in number, separated at intex'nal margin ; but 

 uniting at the median vein and its branches so as to form 

 SX in conjunction ; a small spot at the end of the cell, 

 and a series of spots across the disc, the uppermost of Avhich 

 xmite to form a second S marking ; fringe black ; second- 

 aries rosy-whitish ; thorax ochraceous, spotted with grey ; 

 abdomen whitish, the anus yellow, legs below scarlet : 

 expanse of wings 10 lines.

The type is a mere fragment, and as it was unnamed in 

 the supplementary drawers, it is a wonder that I dis- 

 covered it ; the description is bad ; I therefore re-describe

Above entirely ochreous : primaries crossed by three 

 greyish-brown bands, the first (near the base) irregularly 

 angulated, the second bisinuate, almost touching the first 

 band at the angle between the sinuations, the third band 

 irregularly sigmoidal, touching the lower portion of the 

 second band ; two black dots, immediately followed by two 

 brown dashes at the base ; a lunate discocellular black 

 litura (Walker's ^'i-inr/let''''); a semiconnected discal series 

 of unequal greyish -brown spots, the inner margins of which 

 are produced in many cases so as to unite them to the 

 third band ; fringe black ; secondaries with the fringe black 

 at apex (not more " fawn coloured " than the rest of the 

 wing) ; head with a black spot on the crest ; two black 

 spots on the thorax, and two on each tegula ; legs with 

 the knees and end of tibiae black (fore tibia3 not wholly 

 black) : expanse of wings 1 inch.

 Allied to B. cuneonotatus, the grey bands of primaries 



arranged in the same way, forming CX above the median 

 vein, and followed by a discal scries of longitudinal gl'ey 

 streaks, but the whole wing suffused with rose-red, leaving
