brown irrorated with black at apical half of costa and termen ; some 

 slight, wavy, blackish lines near termen ; costal dashes, margin and 

 fringe as above. Hind wing irrorated with pale greenish-brown and 

 more sparsely with blackish ; the base paler ; a large dark streak on 

 discocellulars, broad, diffused postmedial band and traces of a dark 

 subterminal line, broadest and clearest near costa ; marginal line and 

 fringe as above, but with the line more broken into lunules.

Appears to belong to the genus Hypena, possibly related to obsitalis 

 Hbn. The second joint of the palpus is long, nearly porrect, thickly 

 clothed with rough hair above and with a slight tuft of rough hair 

 below at end, distinctly curved; the third joint is tufted with rough hair 

 on both sides for about two-thirds of its length, leaving the tip naked 

 and sharply pointed as in the genus Dichromia. The abdominal crest 

 is not visible, in which respect, as well as in the formation of the 

 palpus, it agrees with Dichromia, but as it has more the general 

 aspect of Hypena, and the palpus resembles that of some species placed 

 there by Hampson, I refer it to that genus.

$ , 30 mm. 



Head, palpus, antenna, thorax and legs greyish-brown, the pectus, 

 underside of legs and joints of tarsi paler. 



Fore wing brown with some ochreous scales intermixed in parts ; an 

 almost obsolete antemedial line of the ochreous shade distally defined 

 by fuscous, excurved from costa at about one-fourth to hind margin at 

 nearly two-fifths, with an inward angle on SM 2 ; a black dot in cell 

 distally to the antemedial line and another proximally to the postmedial 

 line ; postmedial line straight, erect, white, more than \ mm. in 

 breadth, from costa at nearly three-quarters to hind margin at three- 

 quarters ; black spots at termen between the veins and a fine dark 

 terminal line ; fringe grey with a fine pale line at base. 



Hind wing unicolorous dark grey with the veins a shade darker, a 

 dark discal spot and a slight dark marginal line ; fringe as on fore wing. 



Underside of both wings grey, with marginal dark lunules and 

 fringes as above. Fore wing with some dark apical shading and with 

 the postmedial line indistinctly showing through from above. Hind- 

 wing with a slight discoidal streak and very indistinct, curved post- 

 medial line.
