LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 125 



Female. This species resembles some of the Hi/pence even more 

 than the preceding one, but the structure of the palpi sufficiently 

 distinguishes it. Cinereous-brown. Abdomen, bind wings and 

 under side more cinereous. Palpi curved, ascending; tuft of the 

 third joint very minute. Wings rather long. Fore wings with the

 hind wings, in which the lines are indistinct above but apparent 

 beneath, where there is a black discal lunule; middle line diffuse, 

 nearly straight ; orbicular mark forming a whitish point ; reniform 

 black, narrow, much excavated exteriorly, interlined with ferrugi- 

 nous. Length of the body 5^ — 6 lines ; of the wings 13 — 14 lines.
