passing mid-disc; a cloudy fuscous subterminal line; a blackish 

 terminal line; cilia ochreous, towards tornus fuscous. Underside 

 pale ochreous with fuscous markings; forewings with discal dot, 

 antemedian and postmedian series of lines; hindwings with several 

 tine lines; both wings with fuscous terminal band becoming 

 incomplete at tornus. 



The white median band of forewings is probably variable as in 

 leucozoni, but it is not snow-white as in that species, and the 

 antemedian and postmedian lines are differently formed. 



Type in Coll. Drake. 



Vic: Beaconsfield and Lome, in March; a very perfect type, 

 and a wasted example in Coll. Lyeil. 



Hydriomena euphileta,* n.sp. 



£. 28-30 mm. Head and palpi fuscous mixed with whitish -
