74. Cymoriza gigantalis sp, nov.. 



I have a little doubt as to the correct position of this species, but 

 it agrees better with Cymoriza than with any other genus known to 

 me. The frons is not with a rounded prominence as given for this 

 genus by Hampson, but neither in irrectalis, type of the genus, nor 

 in ustalis is this rounding very prominent. Vein 10 is in the $ free, 

 a character not given by Hampson, but mentioned by Guenee and by 

 Lederer, also it does not have the glandular swelling on the costa of 

 the fore wing. 



This species differs from the two others not only in pattern, but 

 can be distinguished at once by the larger size, which is about 

 twice that of the $ $ of the other species. 



$ . Wings whitish, more or less heavily scaled with tawny (xv), 

 so as to leave silvery-white maculae and maculated lines ; in two 

 specimens these tawny scales are lighter in colour, as if they are 

 bleached or rubbed, in one other specimen the scaling is very dark, 

 more of a chestnut-brown (xiv) ; thorax and abdomen with tawny 

 scales, tegulae and patagia with tawny hairs ; abdomen above with a 

 white ring on first and third segments anteriorly, with small white 

 maculae on third to sixth segment posteriorly ; palpi on innerside 

 and thorax on underside with tawny hairs ; frons and tuft on antennae 

 white ; palpi with second joint in front and the tip of third joint 

 covered with white scales ; fore legs covered on outside with fuscous 

 (xlvi), tarsi ringed with tawny; femora of other legs with patch of 

 tawny scales in middle, tibiae at middle and end with such a patch, 

 tarsi ringed with tawny.
