grey mixed with whitish, crests fuscous. Legs fuscous 

 with whitish irroration. Forewings elongate-triangular, costa 

 nearly straight, apex round-pointed, termen bowed, oblique, 

 crenulate; fuscous-grey; markings white edged with blackish; 

 a dentate sub-basal line from costa near base to fold ; a crenu- 

 late, outwardly oblique line from I costa to f dorsum ; orbicular 

 and reniform very distinct, the former large, 8-shaped, the 

 latter still larger, kidney-shaped ; clavif orm obsolete ; a post- 

 median fascia, its inner edge angled outwards beneath costa 

 and on vein 2, outer edge less distinct, veins crossing it partly 

 blackish, a fine dentate subterminal line, bent outwards and 

 more sharply dentate between veins 3 and 4 ; triangular 

 blackish terminal dots between veins; cilia grey with some 

 whitish irroration, and finely barred with white opposite veins. 

 Hindwings with termen gently rounded, irregularly waved; 

 fuscous with darker lines on veins ; costa whitish ; a blackish 

 terminal line obsolete towards tornus; cilia grey, bases 

 whitish, apices white. Underside of forewings fuscous with 

 two dark lines before termen ; of hindwings whitish irrorated 

 with fuscous, with large fuscous discal lunule and terminal 

 band. 



Nearly allied to frijuncta, Wlk., but considerably larger, 

 the antemedian line crenulate, more oblique, running to mid- 

 dorsum, projections on postmedian line bluntly rounded.

This is a most difficult group, and I cannot expect that 

 the following revision will be found completely satisfactory. 

 The length of the cell and the point of origin of vein 5 in the 

 hindwings sometimes furnish good generic characters. The 

 last is expressed numerically : for instance, J connotes that 

 5 arises from J of the distance between the lower and upper 

 angle of the cell reckoning from the former. I include here 

 the genus Amyna.
