slightly dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched near base, thence 

 nearly straight, somewhat sinuate beyond middle, hindmargin rather 

 strongly oblique, nearly straight, very slightly sinuate ; whitish-grey, with 

 some scattered spots of dark fuscous scales; basal patch reddish-brown, 

 exterior edge sharply marked, broadly dark fuscous, from 1 of costa to i of 

 inner margin, irregular, hardly angulated ; a large reddish-brown triangular 

 costal patch, extending on costa from ^ to near apex, reaching rather more 

 than half across wing, apex broken and partially suffused, anterior and 

 posterior edges sharply marked, broadly margined with dark fuscous, costal 

 edge marked with three small dark fuscous spots ; a similar small dark 

 fuscous spot on costa before apex : cilia grey- whitish, with a dark grey 

 basal line. Hindwings grey, with a pencil of long whitish-yellowish hairs 

 on costa at base ; cilia pale grey. 



Immediately known by the whitish-grey forewings, with reddish-brown 

 basal and costal patches. 



Two specimens, in poor condition, taken by Mr. J. D. Enys, at Porter's

Male. — 12^-13^- mm. Head, palpi, and thorax whitish-ocbreous ; palpi 

 rather elongate, externally fuscous. Antennae whitish-ocbreous, annulated 

 with dark fuscous. Abdomen light grey. Legs grey- whitish, anterior and 

 middle pair suffused with dark fuscous except at apex of joints. Forewings 

 moderate, posteriorly somewhat dilated, costa rather strongly arched near 

 base, thence nearly straight, hindmargin nearly straight, oblique ; pale 

 whitish-ocbreous, with scattered obscure ochreous-fuscous strigulae ; base 

 indistinctly suffused with ochreous-brownish ; posterior |, beyond a straight 

 sharply-defined line from f of costa to slightly beyond middle of inner 

 margin, fuscous, strigulated with dark reddish-fuscous, and becoming dark 

 fuscous towards anterior edge, more broadly towards costa, and on a small 

 very ill-defined costal spot towards apex : cilia whitish-ochreous or light 

 brownish-ochreous, with a broad dark fuscous basal line. Hindwings 

 grey ; cilia grey-whitish, with a darker basal line. 



Eendered conspicuous by the contrast of the pale basal and dark pos-
