LEPIDOPTEEA HETEROCERA. 655 



Male, Brownish cinereous, pale reddish cinereous beneath. 

 Palpi obliquely ascending, not rising higher than the vertex ; second 

 joint partly brown on the outer side ; third conical, about one-fourth 

 of the length of the second. Antennae minutely setose. Abdomen 

 cinereous, extending a little beyond the hind wings, slightly tufted 

 along each side. Fore tibiae with a dense penicillate tuft. Fore 

 wings silvery cinereous, mostly clouded with brown ; four brown 

 dentate lines; first and second lines incomplete, between the base 

 and the orbicular mark, which is pale yellowish, small, round and 

 black-bordered ; third and fourth on the outer side of the reniform 

 mark, which is whitish, brown-disked, black-bordered, and notched 

 on the outer side ; submarginal line silvery cinereous, denticulate ; 

 marginal lunules black; two brown costal dots in front of the reni- 

 form, and three exterior whitish costal points. Hind wings white, 

 iridescent, semihyaline ; veins brown towards the brown exterior 

 border. Length of the body 8 lines; of the wings 17 lines. 



Closely allied to P. insignata and to P. permunda, but the 

 orbicular mark is more round than in the former, and the submar- 

 ginal line of the fore wings is much less bent than in the latter.
