Thorax, white, with four fuscous spots posteriorly : one behind each of the patagia 

 and two on the posterior margin ; there is also a similar spot on the anterior por- 

 tion of the thorax, hut the sjDecimen before me is somewhat injured by the pin. 



Fore-wings, white, with an irregular brownish fuscous band stretching from the base to 

 the apex, interrupted on the costal margin by two white patches, the second and 

 larger of which is immediateiy beyond the middle of the wing, and contains a sin- 

 gle brownish fuscous spot; the brownish fuscous baud occupies more especially 

 the costal half of the wiug, but encroaches on the white dorsal half by a slight 

 somewhat triangular x^rojection near the base and a larger projection of the same 

 shape about the middle, between and below which is a single circular fuscous 

 spot ; immediately above the anal angle are two semi-detached brownish fuscous 

 patches, followed at a short interval by a marginal series of seven dark fuscous 

 spots, extending around the apex of the wing, the upper two being clearly jDro- 

 jected upon the white space about the apex, which forms, as it were, another in- 

 terruption to the fuscous band ; cilia above the apex white, below it to the mid- 

 dle of the apical margin brownish fuscous, below which to the anal angle they 

 are again white. , 



Hind-xcings and cilia, pale fawn- gray.

 A single male in good condition received from Professor Riley, is nearly allied to 



Anesychia liagenella Chamb., but differs in the interruption by the white costal patches 



of the dark upper half of the wings, as well as in other minor particulars of mark- 

 ings and in the number of the marginal spots.

Thorax, dull leaden gray, with six black spots in two lines converging posteriorly ; 

 the first pair at the base of the patagia ; second i)air nearer to each other at 

 about the middle; third pair nearer still, at the base. 



Fore-wings, dull leaden gray, with four black spots ; one at the end of the cell ; one 

 before it, above the middle of the wing ; a smaller one on the fold slightly nearer 

 to the base ; and one still nearer to the base below the fold ; on the apical mar- 

 gin, and distributed around the apex and anal angle, on the costal and dorsal 

 margins are from nine to eleven small black spots at the base of the dull leaden 

 cilia. 



Hind-wings, scarcely paler. 



Abdomen, bright ochreous. 



Legs, anterior and median grayish fuscous; posterior bright ochreous with the femora
