NUDARIA MARGARITAS J A. 



Mas et fcem. Alba; antennae maris pubescentes,fcem. setulosce ; 

 alee anticee guttis duabus costalibus lineisque duabus trans- 

 versis subundulatis fuscescentibus. Preecedenti simillima ; 

 antennae basi minus pilosce ; alee anticee linea 2a minus undu- 

 lata. 



Male and female. White. Antennae pubescent in the male, 

 minutely setulose in the female; first joint incrassated. Wings 

 iridescent, almost hyaline. Fore wings with two brownish costal 

 dots, one near the base, the other near the tip ; two transverse 

 slightly undulating brownish lines, of which the first is very slender.
