finally some black mai-kiiigs near the teraiinal excision : inferior with only one line, 
which becomes oblitei'ated near the middle of the wing. In well-marked specimens 
thei-e is also a pale subterminal line common to all the wings. 
The under-side is of a more lively yellow, strongly varied with fermginons, 
with the same lines and dots as the upper-side, but less marked and reddish : on 
the inferior is a median band, toothed inferiorily and surmounted, in the cellule, by 
an oval ferruginous dot, traversed by a fine white line, which divides the cellule in 
two parts, and is prolonged to the apical margin. The whole body is colom-ed as in 
the wings. I have not seen females of tliis insect.

It is as large as the largest ohscurata. AH the wings are strongly toothed, 
testaceous-gi'ey, powdered with fine blackish atoms. The base of the superior and 
the last half of all the vrings are tinted with reddish-brown, forming a kind of vague 
border, which, on the superior, has the appearance of being denticulated inwardly, 
and is nari-ower opposite to the cellule : beneath, this border does not extend to the 
margin, and thus fonns a subterminal band ; there is here, on all the wings, a 
cellulai' black dot, which is larger on the inferior. Body coloured as in the wings, 
without markings. Palpi little prominent, as in all species of the genus. Antennse 
furnished with long, but fine, pubescent pectinations.

This little species approaches more to the true Acidalice than do its congeners 
ordiiiata and risata, yet its wings have the same form : they are pale straw coloiu- 
rather than reddish, and are travei-sed by a multitude of grey parallel lines, which 
are nearly straight, but composed of little lunules ; the two median ones are more 
blackish-grey, and, behind these, between the second and third nervules, is a more 
or less distinct geminated ferragiuous mark j a smaU round, veiy distinct, cellular 
dot, and other similar terminal ones : beneath the lines are distinct only from the 
cellular dots to the terminal border, and the base of the superior wings is suffused 
with black. Front cinnamon-brown, and contrasting with the vertex, which is 
paler than the rest of the head, and whitish, as is also the base of the antennae. 
I say nothing about the latter, believing that I have only females.
