   nearly 
  round, 
  the 
  other 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  larger 
  and 
  ear-shaped 
  ; 
  a 
  hyaline 
  

   spot 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  in 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  ; 
  all 
  the 
  spots 
  ringed 
  

   with 
  brown. 
  Fore 
  wings 
  crossed 
  by 
  three 
  transverse 
  brown 
  lines 
  ; 
  

   ante-medial, 
  medial 
  and 
  discal, 
  curving 
  outwardly, 
  rather 
  sinuous, 
  

   the 
  1st 
  and 
  2nd 
  lines 
  bending 
  inwards 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  eosta, 
  the

  ; 
  a

  Allied 
  to 
  M. 
  accingalis, 
  Walker 
  ; 
  is 
  similarly 
  coloured, 
  

   but 
  much 
  smaller, 
  the 
  hyaline 
  spots 
  larger 
  and 
  the 
  bands 
  

   straighter 
  and 
  differently 
  disposed, 
  the 
  outer 
  one 
  termi- 
  

   nating 
  at 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  instead 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  third 
  of 
  

   abdominal 
  margin 
  ; 
  Walker's 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  female 
  fragment 
  

   I 
  overlooked 
  when 
  describing 
  M. 
  cacluca 
  (P. 
  Z. 
  S., 
  1885, 
  

   p. 
  470), 
  but, 
  having 
  now 
  a 
  long 
  series, 
  I 
  am 
  convinced 
  

   they 
  are 
  identical.

  is 
  a

   angular 
  space 
  here,

  with 
  the
