Patalene acuta, n. sp. (Plate VI, fig. 13.) 



Forewing rich ochreous, darker towards tornus and considerably 

 irrorated with blackish ; an oblique slightly curved darker line 

 commencing just before apex traverses the wing and terminates 

 beyond the middle on the inner margin ; situated on this line are 

 placed at intervals small elongated dots of greyish-white ; a large 

 conspicuous blotch occupies the area at tornus ; there is a faint 

 indication of a darker ante-medial line ; discoidal dot small, black ; 

 hindwing similar to forewing, the pale dots on the transverse line 

 less distinct than on forewing ; beyond the medial line the wing 

 is much darker with more of a brownish tint similar in shade to 

 tornus of forewing. Underside of both wings paler and darker 

 towards the hind margins ; the transverse line on the forewing 

 very distinct ; on the hindwing the line is almost obliterated.
