LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 1545 



This species closely resembles E. hymenaria, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by the under side, which is white, with the exception of 

 a large blackish discal spot and a much interrupted blackish mar- 

 ginal band.

Elphos? Parisnattei. 



Mas. Obscure ferrugineo-f usca ; antennce subpectinatce ; abdomen 

 attenuatum, fasciculo apicali testaceo radiato densissimo ; alee 

 nigra conspersce, lineis duabus nigris denticulatis, tinea sub' 

 marginali albida indeterminata, plaga subtus apicali albida. 



Alcis Parisnattei, Atkinson, MS. 



Male. Dark ferruginous-brown. Third joint of the palpi 

 extremely short. Antennae slightly pectinated, except towards the 

 tips. Abdomen extending beyond the hind wings, tufted along 

 each side, attenuated from the base to the tip, which has a very 

 thick testaceous radiating tuft of hairs. Wings black-speckled ; 

 interior and exterior lines black, denticulated, undulating ; sub- 

 marginal line whitish, zigzag, incomplete, mostly indistinct; under 

 side with a whitish apical patch. Fore wings beneath with a whitish 

 patch on the middle of the exterior border. Length of the body 

 14 lines; of the wings 32 lines. 



This species differs much from the type of Elphos in the struc- 

 ture of the antenna? and in the tuft of the abdomen, and perhaps it 

 should form a new genus.
