Nine Exotic Species of the Genus Graciluria. 295 



the eyes. Face whitish. Maxillary and labial palpi whitish. 

 Antennae longer than the anterior wings, dark grey; the basal 

 joint rather thickened, and above with a short projecting tuft of 

 grej-^ scales as in Coleophora. 



Anterior wings rich yellowish-brown, with three large trans- 

 verse pearly-white spots. The first somewhat triangular, near 

 the base, broadest on the inner margin, its apex only just reaching 

 the costa ; the second more completely triangular, nearly in the 

 middle of the wing, its base on the inner margin, its apex almost 

 reaching the costa, but not touching it ; the third spot is towards 

 the apex, rather obliquely placed, and rather broader on the costa 

 than on the inner m irgin ; all three are dark-margined on both 

 sides; beyond the black outer margin of the last spot are two black 

 streaks in the pale brown cilia; cilia of the inner margin grey. 



Posterior wings dark grey, with grey cilia. 



Legs white, the ends of the tibiae dark grey and the tarsi spotted 

 with grey. 



Excepting in the tufts on the sides of the head, and the tuft at 

 the basal joint of the antennae, this appears to be a true Gracilaria. 



In the only specimen I have seen the abdomen is wanting, the 

 thorax is too itjuied for description, and the legs are not in such 

 good condition as one would wish. 



It was captured near Calcutta by Mr. Atkinson, who kindly 

 gave it to me.

Gracilaria quadrifasciata, n. sp. (PI. X. fig. 5.) 



Alis anticis albis, fasciis quatuor luteo-brunneis obliquis, tertia 

 cum quarta a strigida discoidali connexa, squamisque sparsis 

 nigris. 



Exp. al. 3 lin. 



Head and face whitish. Labial palpi white, faintly spotted 

 with pale grey. Maxillary palpi imperceptible. Antennae white 

 at the base, then fuscous, with paler annulations. 



Anterior wings white, with four rather oblique tawny-brown 

 fasciae (the 3rd and 4th united by a streak along the disc), and 

 between them a few scattered black scales ; the first fascia lies 

 near the base and is rather furcate towards the costa, inclosing a 

 white spot there ; the second fascia is placed a little before, and 

 the third a little beyond the middle; from the middle of the latter 

 a tawny-brown streak runs along the disc, connecting it with the 

 fourth fascia; this on one wing (the right one) is rather clearly
