 male 3. Abdomen grey-whitish, sometimes ochreous tinged. 

 Legs fuscous mixed with whitish ; posterior pair ochreous- 

 whitish. Forewings not dilated, costa rather strongly arched, 

 apex pointed, termen obliquely rounded ; ochreous ; costal 

 edge at base very narrowly fuscous ; cilia ochreous. Hind- 

 wings and cilia grey. 



Very similar to the preceding, of which I should have 

 supposed it to be a smaller local race, but for the longer 

 antenna] ciliations. Paler examples are very easily confused 

 with Eulechria homochroa, Turn., but here, independently 

 of the termination of vein 7, which is often difficult to deter- 

 mine with certainty, the antennal ciliations are much shorter.
