eosta by a sharply-defined moderate triangular black spot ; orbicular round, 
pale, broadly black-margined, touching apex of costal spot; claviform 
round, upper half margined with black, lower half obsolete, detached; a 
very small dark fuscous spot on costa beyond middle, between which and 
first line the costa is narrowly suffused with fuscous; reniform large, 
double, shaped like two adjacent figures of 8, both irregularly black- 
margined, adjacent margins confluent; second line pale, anteriorly dark- 
margined, forming a very small blackish spot on costa; terminal space 
suffused with brownish-ochreous ; subterminal line cloudy, ochreous- 
whitish, somewhat interrupted, not touching second line; hindmargin 
suffusedly blackish, with a row of ochreous-whitish marks: cilia pale 
whitish-ochreous, with a well-defined dark grey line and very faint grey 
posterior line. Hindwings 13, very pale whitish grey, central lunule 
obseurely indieated, postmedian line and a narrow hindmarginal suffusion 
distinct, darker grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with a distinct grey line. 
A distinct species, characterized by the sharply defined black costal 
markings, double reniform, and relatively long antennal ciliations.

Male, female.—21-22 mm. Head and thorax fuscous-grey, irrorated with 
white. Palpi 21, dark fuscous; somewhat mixed with white, basal joint 
white. Antenne grey ; ciliations $. Abdomen light grey, segmental margins 
whitish. Legs whitish, irrorated with dark fuscous, tibie and tarsi banded 
with dark fuscous. Forewings rather elongate, triangular, costa gently 
arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin oblique, distinctly sinuate ; fuscous grey, 
densely mixed with white and irrorated with black; some very obscure 
small dark spots towards base: first line very obscure, white, somewhat 
curved and indented, posteriorly slightly dark-margined beneath, on costal 
third margined by an oblique oblong blackish streak which conceals 
orbicular; claviform small, roundish, blackish, detached; reniform 
8-shaped, whitish, obscurely black-margined, connected with a small dark 
suffusion on costa; second line whitish, ill-defined, finely dentate through- 
out, hardly sinuate, anteriorly slightly dark-margined, forming a small 
‘blackish spot on costa ; subterminal cloudy, whitish, finely dentate, inter- 
rupted above middle, apex of lower portion touching second line; an 
obscure hindmarginal row of whitish marks: cilia whitish, with a dark 
fuscous interrupted subbasal, and grey posterior line. Hindwings 1}, very 
pale whitish-grey, slightly ochreous-tinged, central lunule indistinct, post 
median line and a slender hindmar inal suffusion distinctly darker grey ;

A very obscure species, best indieated by the fine dentation of the second
