and densely spined ; membranous fold slight ; apical third of aedeagus scobinate along left half 

 of dorsal surface ; no cornutus. 



$. Not known. 



Measurement. o* 39 mm. 



The structure of the sacculus and the scobinate aedeagus relate anacantha closely 

 to the preceding two species oculata and prosema. The shape of the valve and the 

 sacculus, the reduction of the membranous fold and absence of cornuti are diagnostic.

o*. Vertex and first abdominal segment tilleul buff, thorax tilleul buff, irrorate with drab ; 

 remainder of abdomen snuff brown, irrorate with bister (? discoloured). Upper surface of wings 

 tilleul buff, suffused with pinkish buff, strongly proximad of sub-basal fascia and along costa on 

 fore wing and distad of postmedial fascia on each wing and irrorate with black ; sub-basal 

 fascia broad, straight-margined and black ; remaining pattern black, as illustrated (PI. 5, fig. 

 211). Under surface of wings tilleul buff, very weakly patterned with fuscous, as illustrated 

 (PI. 5, fig. 212). 



o*. Genitalia (Text-figs. 39, 40). Sacculus three-fifths as long as dorsal margin of valve ; 

 a setose, digitate process at base ; apical half slightly sinuous, the tip bearing a cluster of 

 spines ; apex covered by a setose membranous fold from ventral margin of valve ; aedeagus 

 smooth, apex narrowly rounded ; vesica with a short tapered cornutus, subequal in length to 

 width of aedeagus. 



$. Not known. 



Measurement. o* 40 mm. 



Externally somewhat similar to oculata and to some forms of herbuloti but 

 differing in the uniformly pinkish buff basal area of the fore wing, the straight- 

 margined sub-basal fascia and the black colour of the irroration and pattern. 

 Structurally closely akin to anacantha, but differing in the much shorter sacculus, 

 the smooth aedeagus and the presence of a short cornutus.

o*. Vestiture white, irrorate with drab and bister ; patagia edged with bister. Wings white, 

 irregularly and densely suffused with bister, as illustrated ; posterior distal fourth of fore wing 

 suffused with warm buff in paratype ; cilia on anal margin of hind wing tilleul buff in type, 

 warm buff shading to drab tornad in paratype (PI. 5, fig. 213). Underside of both wings white, 

 irregularly blotched with fuscous ; margins, except inner margin of fore wing, light buff (PL 5, 

 fig. 214).
