Pachybela parisa, n. sp. (77-a/oio-os, almost identical). 



<$ , 20-25 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-grey. Palpi 

 ochreous-grey with some fuscous scales. Antennae pale-grey ; 

 ciliations in male 1J. Abdomen ochreous-grey. Legs fuscous; 

 posterior pair ochreous- whitish. Forewings elongate, some- 

 what dilated posteriori}^, costa moderately arched, apex round- 

 pointed, termen very obliquely rounded ; pale ochreous-grey 

 with general fuscous irroration ; markings fuscous ; a discal 

 dot at ^, a second before it on fold, and a third at f ; some- 

 times a fuscous spot between the last and tornus ; a terminal 

 series of fuscous dots, usually very distinct ; cilia concolorous. 

 Hindwings and cilia grey. 



Forewings rather differently shaped, with more distinct 

 markings, and without reddish tinge. It is very similar to 

 some examples of ere mica, and I might have confused them 

 if it had not been for the longer antennal ciliations.
