 both by the presence of fovea of forewings. 



Type sciogramma, Low. 



Chlenomorpha sciogramma, n. sp. 



d and 9 > 28-30 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and 

 thorax dull slaty-fuscous, palpi darker beneath, antennal 

 pectinations 10, apical portion simple. Abdomen yellow - 

 ochreous. Legs whitish-fuscous, posterior pair whitish. Fore- 

 wings elongate-triangular, termen oblique, rather prominent 

 on vein 3; greyish-fuscous, somewhat slaty-tinged; markings 

 hardly traceable; a fine crenulate line from just before 

 middle of costa to before middle of dorsum, more pronounced 

 on dorsum; an irregular whitish line, from three-quarters of 

 costa to just before tornus, followed by a fine whitish crenu- 

 late line, from costa just before apex to tornus; a fine black 

 interrupted line along termen ; cilia grey, with a pale fuscous 

 subbasal line. Hindwings faintly crenulate; grey-whitish; 

 an indistinct fuscous line from costa at one-third to one-third 

 dorsum ; a fuscous discal dot ; an obscure faintly waved fus- 

 cous line, from costa at three-quarters to two-thirds of 

 dorsum, followed by a narrow obscure whitish shade; an

 pale-fuscous mark at posterior end of cell ; a very short dark- 

 fuscous outwardly-oblique mark on costa at five-sixths, indi- 

 cating posterior line; from each of the costal streaks there 

 are faint indications of waved lines reaching dorsum at one- 

 quarter and at tornus; cilia ochreous-grey. Hindwings grey,
