of hairs on the hind wing on the underside and also in the narrower 

 outer marginal borders of both wings. By this tuft it also differs from 

 M. suralis Led., with which it agrees mostly in its outer marginal 

 bordering, besides being much larger than suralis; it also resembles 

 what I take to be M. brunneomarginalis Kenr., but it is much larger 

 and the outer margins of both wings are as in laceritalis. 



$ . Second and third joints of palpi, head, antennae, thorax, 

 abdomen and wings on upperside chrysolite-green (xxxi) ; first joint 

 of palpi, femora and tibiae of legs, thorax and abdomen, and 

 basal parts of both wings on underside pale turquoise-green (vii) ; 

 remainder of fore wing and the greater part of the hind wing under- 

 neath reed-yellow (xxx) ; fore tibiae largely and hind tibiae slightly 

 covered with rather long mummy-brown (xv) hairs ; tarsi white, 

 tinged on inner side with cream colour (xci) ; second and third 

 joint of palpi at base and at tips covered with mummy-brown 

 hairs. Fore wing with the costa beyond middle edged with anti- 

 mony-yellow (xv) scaled towards apex with mummy-brown ; a small 

 fuscous spot in cell at two-thirds and one a little larger at 

 end of cell; outer margin very oblique and roundly lobed at 1&, 

 4 and 7 ; outer marginal area slightly tinged with antimony-yellow 

 and narrowly scaled with mummy-brown (much narrower than in 

 laceritalis) and some mummy-brown rays from it between veins 1 to 

 4 ; cilia mummy-brown at one-third, tipped with brown at 16, with 

 white to near vein 3, then rood's brown (xxviii) to vein 5, white 

 to vein 6 and from there rood's brown to apex. Hind wing with 

 costal area white ; a rather large fuscous spot at lower angle of cell ; 

 outer margin somewhat rounded and roundly lobed at lb, 3 and 7 ; 

 outer marginal area slightly tinged with antimony-yellow and narrowly 

 scaled with mummy-brown ; cilia white, basal half with rood's brown 

 scales and opposite veins lb, lc, 3 and beyond 6 entirely rood's brown ; 

 inner marginal area white and with long white hairs. Underside : 

 outer marginal area as above, except for a rood's brown suffusion at 

 tornus of fore wing ; hind wing more broadly suffused at apex with 

 rood's brown than in fore wing at tornus ; a tuft of long apricot- 

 yellow (iv) hairs between veins lc and 6 beyond discocellulars ; 

 abdomen above with some mars-brown (iii) scaling, laterally on last 

 two segments and dorsally on last segment ; on underside last segment 

 almost entirely scaled with mars-brown and some mars-brown scales 

 on next two segments; anal tuft fuscous-black (xlvi). ? like $ in 

 colouring and markings, except outer marginal markings not being
