joint curved ; third lanceolate, much shorter than the second. An- 

 tennae minutely setulose. Abdomen brownish cinereous, extending 

 a little beyond the hind wings ; hind borders of the segments 

 whitish. Wings elongate. Fore wings hardly acute, palest near 

 the base, close to which there is an oblique black line ; interior 

 line brown, almost straight ; middle and exterior lines undulating ; 

 marginal space darker, containing the pale denticulated sub marginal 

 line ; two black subapical spots ; marginal points black ; reniform 

 indicated by two black points. Hind wings whitish cinereous, brown- 

 bordered ; marginal line brown. Length of the body 4 lines ; of 

 the wings 10 lines. 



Nearly allied to the preceding species.

Bleptina Bizialis. 



Mas. Cinerea, sat robusla ; palpi validi, late fimbriati, corporis 

 dimidio non breviores, articulo 3o quasi securiformi ; alee, Ion- 

 giusculce, sat angusta, fimbria squamosa bis inter lineata ; an- 

 ticce rectangulatoBi margine exteriore flexo, lineis interiore et 

 media fuscis subrectis, linea exteriore undulata pallido mar- 

 ginata, linea submarginali pallida abbreviate, macula apicali 

 magna nigricante-fusca. 



Male. Cinereous, rather stout. Palpi stout, broadly fringed, 

 somewhat ascending, half the length of the body; fringe of the 

 second joint broadest at the base, third joint about half the length 

 of the second, with the fringe truncate at the tip so as to have a se- 

 curiform shape. Antenna? setulose. Abdomen extending a little 

 beyond the hind wings. Wings rather long and narrow ; fringe 

 squamous, twice interlined. Fore wings rectangular at the tips ; 

 exterior border bent; lines brown ; interior and middle lines nearly 

 straight; exterior line undulating, pale-bordered on the outer side; 

 submarginal line pale, abbreviated in front by the large blackish 

 brown apical spot. Hind wings with lines less distinct than those 

 of the fore wings. Length of the body 5 lines; of the wings 13 

 lines. 



This species will form a distinct group in the genus, on account 

 of the structure of the palpi and of the fore wings.
