Peuthiua transmissana, Walher, Cat. Lep. Het. sxviii. p. 375. 



Palpi projecting about the length, of the head beyond it; together with the head and 

 autennje greyish fuscous ; the apical joint scarcely exposed, paler. Fore wings — with the 

 costa arched ; an appressed costal fold at the base in the male ; apical margin oblique, slightly 

 concave — dull ptxrplish brown at the base, where there is a wide rather mottled basal patch 

 distinctly defined and slightly angulated at its outer edge above the middle ; beyond this is a 

 whitish dorsal patch, diffused upwards at its inner edge towards the costa, and outwards along 

 the dorsal margin, but not reaching the anal angle; beyond the dorsal patch the wing 

 is shaded off from reddish brown to ferruginous ; towards the apex are four pairs of abbreviated 

 shining yellowish-white costal streaks, with slightly darker shades between each pair, emitting 

 slender streaks towards the apical margin ; the ocellated spot is margined on both sides with 

 shining whitish, and contains two or three black streaks ; a dark fuscous line runs parallel 

 to the apical margin near the base of the whitish cilia, which are also tipped with brownish 

 fuscous. Hind wings pale cinereous. Type 6 . Expanse of wings 15 millims.

Palpi dull cinereous, scarcely projecting beyond the head, obtuse ; the apical joint very 

 short : head dull brown, irrorated with cinereous ; the face paler : antennae brownish. Fore 

 wings — with the costa slightly arched, an appressed costal fold in the male, the apex produced ; 

 apical margin much indented, slightly oblique — having a wide basal patch brownish fuscous, 

 profusely irrorated with minute cinereous scales, obtusely angulated at its outer edge above 

 the middle, and extended narrowly along the costa ; followed by a pale whitish ochreous wide 

 dorsal patch, diffused indistinctly upwards towards the costa, and blended outwardly with the 

 dull brownish-fuscous apical half of the wing, which is also minutely irrorated with cinereous : 

 a very pale whitish ochreous ocellated spot above the anal angle is margined with shining 

 silvery, preceded by a few black scales, and contains a black streak near its upper edge, and a

 North America.. From Mr. Carter's collection. 



This is one of those remarkable instances in which Mr. Walker has described two obvi- 

 ously similar specimens from the same collection under different new specific names, without 

 reference or comparison, and has published the descriptions on the same page of his catalogue.
