4. Chgerodes transvertens. 



Mas. Pallidissime ochracea ; caput fuscescens, supra albidum ; 

 palpi apice nigricanles ; pedes nigro conspersi ; alee nigro 

 sabulosce, strigulis panels indistinctis ochraceis, linea recta 

 albida intus ochraceo marginata, linea exteriore nigricante 

 diffusa angulosa, punclo discali nigro ; anticae subfalcatce, 

 linea costam versus e punctis elongatis albis, margine exteriore 

 vix angulato ; posticce angulo bene determinato non caudato. 



Male. Very pale ochraceous, mostly whitish beneath. Head 

 brownish, whitish above. Palpi with blackish tips. Legs minutely 

 black-speckled ; anterior knees black; hind tibiae much thickened. 

 Wings with a few indistinct little transverse ochraceous streaks, and 

 with a few minute black speckles ; the latter more prevalent on the 

 under side ; the line straight, oblique, whitish, bordered with ochra- 

 ceous on its inner side ; discal interior black point distinct ; a blackish 

 exterior diffuse zigzag line, which is almost obsolete on the fore 

 wings. Fore wings subfalcate ; the line towards the costa indicated 

 only by elongated white points on the veins ; exterior border very 

 slightly bent, hardly angular. Hind wings with a very distinct 

 angle, but not caudate. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 

 19 lines. 



This species, like C. incurvata, may be distinguished from the 

 other three preceding species by the exterior border of the fore 

 wings ; it also agrees with C. incurvata in having no traces of the 

 inner line, which is very distinct in C. transposita, slight in C. 

 transversatu, and almost or quite obsolete in C. transmutans. The 

 more prominent angle of the hind wings and the colour of the line 

 sufficiently separate it from C. incurvata.
