14. Macaria elongaria, Leech, $ . 



Macaria elonqaria,* Leech, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xix. p. 308 

 (1897), c^ (Moupin). 



Of this apparently scarce species, Mr. C. T. Bowring has 

 sent me 2 J" c^ and 1 ? , collected at Yachiaolin, E.S.E. 

 of Icliang, by P^re Van der Voorden. The ? , hitherto 

 unknown^ is (as in some others of the genus, e. g. avitusariaj 

 Walk.) broader-winged than the J ,witli tlie termen of the fore 

 wing less strongly oblique, the dark cloudings in the distal 

 area of both wings strong both above and beneath ; in 

 addition, the teeth in the terraen of the hind wing are 

 slightly stronger. 



15. Macaria vandervoordeni, sp. n. 



S ? .—31-32 mm. 



Head yellowish, spotted with brown. Face with small 

 pointed cone below. Palpus about 1^. Antennal ciliation 

 in ^ short (scarcely ^), even. Thorax and abdomen con- 

 colorous with wings, the abdomen pale beneath. Hind tibia 

 in ^ moderately dilated, with hair-pencil. 



Fore wing with excision in termen scarcely perceptible 

 (shape of <«5//maHa group) ; SC^~^ coincident, free ; whitish 

 buff, somewhat suffused with ochreous and with violet-grey, 

 the irroration violet-grey, rather coarse and irregular; costal 

 edge irregularly dotted ; lines moderate, grey, mixed with 

 ochreous ; antemedian at three-tenths, angulated outward 

 in cell ; median angulated outward near costa, passing just 

 outside (sometimes touching) the weak, rather elongate, grey 

 cell-mark, slightly incurved at fold ; postmedian from costa 



3 or 4 mm. from apex, vertical (or even very slightly oblitjue 

 inward) to R^, here quite feebly bent, thence straightish or 

 extremely slightly lunulate-dentate to hind margin about 



4 mm. from torn us ; a pale line accompanying the post- 

 median distally ; paired black marks at Rs proximally and 

 distally to the postmedian, the two before the vein always 

 very small (the distal one sometimes evanescent), the two 

 behind it stronger, especially the distal, which is about 1 mm. 

 long; faint indications of an interrupted whitish subterminal, 

 accompanied proximally by some slight grey shading, most 

 distinct costally ; apex whitish ; terminal line fine, black, 

 interrupted at the veins ; fringe weakly mottled. 



Hind wing with termen subcrenulate, weakly bent at R^ 

 (as in cestimaria group) ; cell-dot rather more distinct than 

 on fore wing, less elongate; median line well proximal 

 thereto, incurved in cell ; postmedian continuing that of
