testaceous, a black stripe between the eyes ; antennse sienna-red, the pectinations tipped with 
pencils of whitish hair; collar almost entirely ochreons. Under surface whitish, a black- 
speckled ochreous spot at the end of each discoidal cell; other markings obsolescent. 
Expanse of wings 76 millim.

CHORODNA, Walk. 
Species of this genus were described by Mr. Walker under the three families Ura- 
pterygidse, Ennomidae, and Boarmiidse ; the genus is, however, nearly allied to Hemerophila, 
and should therefore be placed with the Amphidasidte. 
Chorodna metaphsearia. (Plate CXV. fig. 8.) 
Cyclidia metaphffiaria, Wcdl-er, Cat. Lep. Het. xxv. p. 1482 (1862).

Primaries above sericeous greyish white, the base and a very irregular subbasal band 
testaceous, the latter bounded by a whitish stripe partly edged externally with black ; an 
oval transverse black annulus at the end of the cell ; an arched dentate-sinuate central 
testaceous line, its lower extremity bounding a large rufous cuneiform patch on the inner 
margin, this patch is bounded externally by a sharply defined sigmoidal submarginal line and 
is crossed by wdiitish striae and an oblique, slightly sinuated, partly black-edged, white-elbowed 
stripe, which runs across the disk to the costa ; external area becoming pure white from about 
the middle to the external angle ; two or three black marginal dots towards apex : secondaries 
greyish brown, striated with grey ; base white ; an abbreviated brown stripe from abdominal 
margin before the middle ; a small cuneiform annular black marking at end of cell ; a broad 
angulated pale olivaceous belt across the disk, its inner edge bounded by a series of black 
dots on the veins, its outer edge by the external area, which is white excepting at apex ; one 
or two nearly marginal black spots : head grey-brown ; thorax cream-coloured, ochraceous in 
front ; abdomen grey, with pale ochreous anal tuft. Under surface of primaries white and 
grey, with the pattern of the upper surface ill-defined : secondaries with the basal two thirds 
grey, irrorated with blackish, the markings of the upper surface indicated in blackish ; 
external third white. Body below ochreous, legs greyish. Expanse of wings 78 millim.
