(rpiTOKippos, three times pale yellow). 



9, 14 mm. Head and palpi grey; labial palpi 2 \. 

 Antennae dark fuscous. Thorax fuscous. Abdomen grey. 

 Legs fuscous irrorated, and tarsi annulated, with fuscous.

 oblique; grey; a short longitudinal pale-yellowish line, edged 

 above with blackish, from base of costa ; a broader yellowish 

 longitudinal line before middle beneath cell, also edged with 

 blackish above; a narrowly-oval longitudinal yellowish

 blackish processes towards costa ; blackish dots on costa at 

 \ y middle, and before f ; a faintly indicated whitish spot 

 median line; a dark-fuscous line close to termen; terminal 

 edge yellowish ; cilia grey with a fuscous sub-basal line. 

 Hindwings pale-grey; cilia whitish with a pale-grey sub-
