9. Ellopia Panisaria. 



Fcem. Subtestaceo-cinerea ; alee dense nigricante conspersce, gutta 

 discali nigra distinctissima, linea exteriore nigricante sub' 

 undulata, margine exteriore angulata ; anticce rectangulatce, 

 linea interiore nigricante diffusa subarcuata. 



Female. Cinereous, with a slight testaceous tinge. Wings 

 thickly and minutely blackish speckled ; discal dot black, very dis- 

 tinct; exterior line blackish, slightly undulating; exterior border 

 distinctly angular. Fore wings rectangular at the tips ; interior 

 line blackish, diffuse, slightly curved. This species has most re- 

 semblance to E. Jlagellaria, but differs from it and from the neigh- 

 bouring species by the much less bent exterior line, which con- 

 sequently is more remote hindward from the interior line. Length 

 of the body 5 lines ; of the wings 14 lines.

10. Ellopia Athasaria. 



Mas. Testacea ; ala? cinerece, semihyalinm, vix testaceo tincta, 

 fusco dense conspersee, linea media fuscescente intus diffusa 

 vix angulata, margine exteriore vix flexo ; anticce apice sub- 

 rotundata, litura discali lineaque interiore fuscescentibus. 



Male. Testaceous. Wings cinereous, semihyaline, with a 

 very slight testaceous tinge, thickly and very minutely speckled 

 with brown ; a brownish middle line which is diffuse on the inner 

 side, and is indistinctly angular towards the costa of the fore wino-s 

 and in the middle of the hind wings ; exterior border hardly bent. 

 Fore wings slightly rounded at the tips, with a brown discal mark 

 between the two lines, of which the second is more interior than the 

 first, and approaches it slightly hindward. This species is very dis- 

 tinct from E. puliaria, which it resembles most in the structure of 

 the lines. Length of the body 6 lines ; of the wings 17 lines.
