suffused oblique ochreous transverse spot almost at base ; a tuft of raised 

 scales at base ; a cloudy blackish transverse line from £ of costa to £ of 

 inner margin, tolerably rectangularly angulated in middle, preceded by two 

 large tufts of raised scales above and below middle ; beyond this the ground- 

 colour is suffusedly paler or mixed with ochreous-whitish towards costa ; 

 costa suffusedly dark fuscous towards middle ; two tufts of raised scales in 

 disc beyond middle ; a very ill-defined dark fuscous transverse line from 

 4 of costa to anal angle, angulated inwards beneath costa, sometimes 

 followed on costa by an ochreous-whitish spot : cilia fuscous, with two 

 cloudy blackish lines. Hindwings dark fuscous-grey ; cilia fuscous, with a 

 cloudy darker line. 



Differs from all by the general dark fuscous colouring, without definite 

 pale markings ; it is shorter-winged than any preceding species except 

 T. leitcoplavetis.

Female. — 14^ mm. Head dull whitish-yellow ; palpi broken. Antennae

 with black, with a tuft of raised scales ; a trapezoidal ochreous-white patch 

 on inner margin, extending from near base to ^, and reaching half across 

 wing ; between this and costa the ground-colour is mixed with whitish- 

 yellow ; a cloudy very irregular wLitish-yellow fascia from costa at *, to 

 fold, containing two tufts of raised black scales in disc ; a roundish black 

 spot in disc beyond middle, partially margined with whitish, on its lower 

 margin containing a tuft of raised white scales, and connected with a semi- 

 oval whitish-yellow spot on inner margin ; a small cloudy whitish-yellow 

 spot beneath costa at f , barely touching costa and hindmarginal suffusion ; 

 a suffused whitish-yellow hindmarginal patch extending from costa to anal 

 angle, attenuated to a point beneath, mixed with dark fuscous towards 

 hindmargin beneath apex : cilia whitish-yellow, with an ill-defined dark 

 purplish-fuscous apical spot, a larger one at anal angle, and a cloudy 

 basal line. Hindwings dark fuscous ; cilia fuscous, with a cloudy darker 

 line.
