one obliquely from the inner end to the lobe, the other short and straight from the outer 
end ; a black patch of short scales beyond the end of the cell, with a small rufous spot at its 
lower extremity, and a short dark band from its upper extremity to near the costa; a 
transverse streak from close to the costa near the apex to second median nervule. Hind

Phassus albofasciatus, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1S79, p. 413. 
Expanse, ? 3 inches.

LEUCANIIDiE. 
Leucania micacea. (Plate CXLIV. fig. 8.) 
Expanse 1 inch. 
Male. Fore wing : the apex blunt, outer margin rounded ; shining grey, streaked with 
ochreous and pale pinkish brown ; veins white ; a whitish streak from apex to second 
discoidal nervule, with three or four black specks in a line with it to inner margin. Hind 
wing pale grey ; veins slightly darker. Underside white ; disc and costa of fore wing dusky ; 
a black speck on costa three fourths from base ; costa of hind wing dusky ; a series of six 
black specks on the nervules beyond the cell; a series of antecilial specks. Antennse, head, 
and thorax ochreous grey; abdomen whitish; anal tuft ochreous. 
Differs from L. nigrolineosa and L. curviUnea in shape of fore wing, and from the former 
species in being smaller and not having the spot at end of cell on underside of hind wing ; 
from the latter in not having the black speck at end of cell of fore wing, and in having an 
apical streak. 
Leucania curvilinea. (Plate CXLIV. fig. 3.) 
Expanse 1-1 i inch. 
Male. Fore wing : apex acute, outer margin nearly straight ; shining grey, streaked with 
dark and pinkish brown ; veins white ; a black speck at lower end of cell ; an indistinct curved 
fascia, composed of black specks, from costa three fourths from base to inner margin two thirds 
from base. Hind wing pearly grey. Underside ochreous grey : disc of fore wing fuscous ; 
costa of both wings and outer margin of fore wing pinkish. Head and thorax pinkish grey ; 
abdomen whitish. 
Nearest to L. nigrolineosa, which is without the black speck at end of cell of fore wing 
and the pink suffusion of underside, and has an apical sti-eak ; also a spot at end of cell of 
hind wing on underside.
