of wings, in some examples, are much darker than in others. The 

 lines and dusky borders are more conspicuous, the inner and outer 

 lines farther apart, and the inner line more curved in the $ . The 

 wings of this sex are paler, the speckles being less numerous. The 

 wings of the ? also vary. 



One $ from Mr. Behrens differs in being of a deeper fawn color, 

 with the two lines on the fore wings and single outer line on the hind 

 wings, forming very distinct dentate black lines, and the two on the 

 fore wings much nearer together than usual; discal dot obscure, and 

 inner line on the fore wings less curved than in other $ specimens. 

 It is a little smaller in size. Beneath the same, but the lines more 

 distinct. Wrongly referred to the genus Tetracis by Guenee.

This very interesting species evidently is an aberrant form of this 

 genus of Lederer's. The head agrees with Epione; the form of the 

 wings is a mean between Rumia and Epione, and the venation is that 

 of Rumia, quite different from that of Epione. The wings seem to 

 be more falcate and the outer edge more oblique than in the other 

 species described, and in our species the usual line on the hind wings 

 is wanting, approaching Rumia in that respect. The $ antennse 

 are very broadly pectinated, the branches suddenly shortening on 

 the outer quarter,, the tip being filiform. The ? antennse are mod- 

 erately pectinated, the tip being filiform. The hind wings are not 

 so produced and rounded towards the apex as in Epione, though 

 more so than in Rumia ; mesial tooth slightly marked . Body and ab- 

 domen much as in Rumia. 



$ . Head yellow, with reddish pink orbits and palpi. Body yellow, 

 and wings of the same color, the hind wings being unmarked, a little 

 paler; the fore wings with a discal dot and a single oblique outer 

 scalloped line going obliquely from the outer quarter of the inner 

 edge to the costajust before the apex; the fringe is yellow, slightly 

 stained with dark brown below the apex, the under side of the wings 

 is sparsely scattered with minute brown scales; beneath are two sub- 

 apical lines forming a V, the fringe is brown, and the wings more 

 speckled than above; discal dots larger than above. 



The ? differs in its much larger size and in the inner line being pres- 

 ent, forming a broad diffuse brown band, interrupted by the veins and 

 angulated in the median space ; the outer edge of the wing reddish 

 brown beyond the oblique scalloped line, the wing becoming more 

 yellowish on the edge, and the fringe dark brown below the apex.
