 what beyond middle, in ? simple. Palpi short or moderate, hairy, porrect or 

 ascending. Thorax with a rounded anterior crest. Posterior tibiae with two 

 pairs of spurs. Forewings with areole narrow, 6 from slightly beneath upper

 wings with 5 from above middle of cell, 12 well separated from cell a,t base, be- 

 coming approximate, and sometimes connected before middle, thence scarcely 

 diverging.

2. 36 mm.' Head whitish. Palpi scarcely over 1; whitish, with a few 

 fuscous scales. Antennae pale-grey. Thorax whitish, with a few fuscous scales. 

 Abdomen grey-whitish. Legs ochreous-whitish. Forewings elongate-triangular, 

 costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, termen slightly bowed, oblique; 10 

 . separate; whitish; a very short, dark-fuscous, median streak from base; a large 

 fuscous suffusion extending on costa from base to middle, not reaching dorsum, 

 and much narrower towards dorsum; a short blackish longitudinal mark above 

 middle of disc; a fuscous subterminal fascia from beneath apex, inwardly curved 

 to dorsum before tornus, broadly connected in middle with basal suffusion and 

 with termen, crossed above middle by a short blackish streak; cilia fuscous. Hind- 

 wings with termen rounded; whitish, towards termen broadly suffused with grey;
