  DESCRIPTIONS 
  OF 
  TWO 
  NEW 
  SPECIES 
  OF 
  PHALMIM. 
  

  

  Acidalia 
  lacteola 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Antennae, 
  vertex 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  white. 
  Abdomen 
  

   white, 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  pale 
  brown 
  scales 
  and 
  with 
  bands 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  color. 
  

  

  Wings 
  white, 
  thinly 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  pale 
  brown 
  scales, 
  

   marked 
  with 
  sinuous 
  dark 
  brown 
  bands 
  and 
  following 
  shade 
  

   lines, 
  and 
  with 
  elongated 
  black 
  discal 
  spots 
  ; 
  inner 
  margins 
  

   with 
  long 
  white 
  hairs, 
  of 
  which 
  those 
  opposite 
  the 
  bands 
  are 
  

   black 
  tipped 
  and 
  spatulate. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  with 
  three 
  transverse 
  lines 
  dividing 
  the 
  costa 
  into 
  

   four 
  nearly 
  equal 
  parts 
  — 
  the 
  two 
  interior 
  ones 
  somewhat 
  the 
  

   shorter 
  : 
  the 
  extrabasilar 
  band 
  runs 
  outwardly 
  from 
  the 
  costa 
  

   to 
  within 
  the 
  cell, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  acutely 
  reflected 
  to 
  the 
  subme- 
  

   dian 
  fold, 
  then 
  with 
  an 
  outward 
  angle 
  on 
  the 
  submedian 
  to 
  the 
  

   internal 
  margin 
  : 
  the 
  interior 
  line 
  is 
  strongly 
  reflected 
  out- 
  

   wardly 
  to 
  the 
  subcostal, 
  thence, 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  discal 
  spot, 
  

   with 
  sharp 
  angles 
  and 
  followed 
  by 
  brown 
  scales 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  

   margin 
  : 
  the 
  outer 
  line 
  is 
  more 
  sharply 
  defined, 
  less 
  sinuous, 
  

   having 
  but 
  three 
  prominent 
  outward 
  reflections, 
  and 
  is 
  marked 
  

   by 
  a 
  transverse 
  black 
  spot 
  on 
  each 
  vein. 
  The 
  shade-line 
  be- 
  

   yond 
  this 
  consists 
  mainly 
  of 
  brown 
  scales 
  between 
  the 
  veins, 
  

   arranged 
  in 
  a 
  sagittate 
  form, 
  especially 
  seen 
  between 
  the 
  me- 
  

   dian 
  nervules 
  — 
  veins, 
  2, 
  3 
  and 
  4. 
  Terminal 
  margin 
  marked 
  

   with 
  brown 
  scales 
  between 
  the 
  veins 
  (the 
  fringes 
  absent 
  in 
  the 
  

   example). 
  

  

  Secondaries 
  : 
  the 
  inner 
  and 
  outer 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  primaries 
  are 
  

   continued, 
  and 
  present 
  much 
  the 
  same 
  character 
  ; 
  they 
  divide 
  

   the 
  wing 
  on 
  the 
  median 
  vein 
  in 
  three 
  nearly 
  equal 
  parts. 
  

  

  Expanse 
  of 
  wings, 
  .87 
  in. 
  Length 
  of 
  body, 
  .25 
  in.

  not 
  in 
  very
