narrow-elongate, costa moderately arched ; apex acute,

 costa before middle to middle of dorsum ; a second nar- 

 rower fascia from costa at f to tornus ; confluent at tornus 

 with a narrow terminal fascia ; cilia pale-fuscous. Hindwings

Ocystola embolistis, n. sp. (tfxfioXos, a wedge). 



9 , 13 mm. Head and palpi white. Antennae fuscous. 

 Thorax white; tegulae fuscous except at apex. Abdomen 

 whitish ; bases of segments fuscous or ochreous-fuscous. Legs

 narrow-elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round* 

 pointed, termen obliquely rounded ; white ; a broad basal 

 dark-fuscous fascia, extending on costa to \, edge inwardly 

 oblique to near base of dorsum ; posterior portion of disc, 

 bounded by a line from middle of costa to tornus, suffused 

 with fuscous; cilia whitish. Hindwings elongate-ovate; 

 whitish -grey ; cilia whitish. 



The wedge-shaped basal fascia is sufficient to distinguish
