ME. R. m'lACHLAN ON NEW FORMS, ETC., 



fuscous spots, not very distinct, placed on the transverse nervules and 

 at the furcations, and these nervules appear to be slightly raised ; 

 about these spots is some pale clouding ; before the apex a broad, but 

 not conspicuous, transverse fascia caused by pale yellowish-white pu- 

 bescence ; the veins fuscous ; the subcosta extending far beyond the 

 middle of the costa ; the median cellule commencing far before the 

 discoidal, but not reaching to its end. Posterior wings pale grey, 

 with grey pubescence and fringes (in these wings I am unable to define 

 the exact course of the subcosta or the position of the veinlet closing 

 the discoidal cell, and have, therefore, indicated them by dotted lines 

 in the figure, PL IV. fig. 21, details). 

 I have one o* and one $ of this species. 



Tinodes, Leach. 



Tinodes consueta, sp. nov. T. fusca, aureo-pilosa. Pedes pallide 

 flavi, coxis, femoribusque anticis intus, fuscis. Abdomen fusco-te- 

 staceum ; appendicibus superioribus linearibus paullo curvatis, inferio- 

 ribus ad basin marginis, supra processu elongato curvato, infra spinula 

 instructis ; lobo superiore mediano magno, triangulari, supra carinato. 

 Alae anticae flavo-fuscae, dense aureo-pubescentes : posticae infumatse, 

 subhyalinae ( $ ). 



Long. corp. 2\ lin. (=5 mill.); exp. alar. 1\ lin. (=15 mill.). 



Hab. California (in mus. auct.). 



Blackish fuscous. Head and thorax clothed with pale golden hairs ; 

 eyes greyish yellow in their upper portion, blackish in the lower ; an- 

 tennas fuscous, somewhat ochreous, more or less annulated with paler ; 

 palpi fuscous. Legs pale yellow ; the coxae, the anterior femora be- 

 neath, and sometimes the other femora (also beneath) fuscous. Ab- 

 domen fuscous, more or less testaceous or ochreous (colour probably 

 altered), appendices pale ; app. sup. long, scarcely curved, hairy, and 

 linear ; app, inf. two-jointed, the basal joint forming a broad base, 

 excised above, and the lower angle produced into a short curved spine, 

 the second joint forming a curved finger-shaped appendage arising 

 from the excision of the basal joint ; above there is a very large, 

 broadly triangular median lobe placed between the app. sup., the 

 middle with a distinct elevated carina, the sides sloping downward. 



Anterior wings long, gradually widening from the base; the apex ellip- 

 tical, dingy yellow, with dense golden-yellow pubescence, the naked 

 circular space near the base scarcely evident ; fringes golden grey ; 

 neuration arranged as is usual in Tinodes, greyish fuscous. Posterior 

 wings greyish smoky, subhyaline, and with green reflections ; fringes 

 grey. (PI. IV. fig. 22, details.) 



I have four 6* , received from Mr. H. Edwards. It is a true 

 Tinodes of quite the European type, the species being recogni-
