fine, sliglitly thickening between the veins, continncd in 

 light brown ronnd the apex, accompanied proximally 

 throughout b}^ a tine whitish line ; fringe with a I'ew very 

 minute dark dots. 



Hind wing \vith cell-dot less small than on fore wing ; 

 distinguishable from that oi pulchellata by the less sinuous 

 lines, the postmedian more proximally placed, more denticu- 

 late ; subterminal line placed between rather uniform 

 greyish shades, the proximal one the less indistinct ; termen 

 and fringe as on fore wing, but the terminal line nut 

 extending round apex. 



Underside distiiiguishable from that of pulchellata by 

 corresponding diiferences in the lines.

4. Scopula tosariensisj sp. n. 



^ .—29 mm. ; $ .—28 mm. 



Face black, the lower edge pale. Palpus blackish, pale 

 beneath. Vertex whitish, suffused with pale ochieous. 

 Antennal shaft proximally dark-spotted ; joints very slightly 

 projecting, the slender fascicles of cilia little over 1. Thorax 

 and abdomen above whitish ochreous, with some slight dark 

 irroration ; beneath paler and clearer. Hind tibia in (^ just 

 over 3 mm. long, strongly dilated, the hair-pencils white ; 

 hind tarsus little over 1 mm., with the first joint little longer 

 than the second (at most 3:2). 



Fore wing smooth-scaled, whitish ochreous, with minute (in 

 the ? rather stronger) dark irroration, the base slightly more 

 suffused and irrorated ; cell-dot minute^ black ; antemedian 

 line faint, rather strongly oblique outward from one-fourth 

 hind margin to cell-fold, here apparently sharply angled 

 and retracted, to costa, but becoming scarcely traceable ; 

 median shade rather thick, somewhat recalling that of the 

 European nigropunctata, Hufn., similarly formed anteriorly 

 but sliglitly more oblique still behind the angle and slightly 

 straighter ; postmedian line fine and indistinct, about 2 mm. 

 from termen (with the usual sinuosities), dentate, the out- 

 ward teeth very minutely black-dotted on the veins ;. sub- 

 teiminal not very sinuous, placed between very weak shades; 

 terminal interneural dots minute, black, with slight traces 

 of dark connecting-line ; fringe with ill-defined dark central 

 spots opposite the veins.
