fold; two short, white, sub -triangular outer marginal fascia between 2 and 3, 
3 and 4; fourth inner marginal fascia from base to tornus, extending to near 
discai fold; inner margin with a whitish edging; cilia white, checkered with a 
bunch of black scales on each side of veins 1 b to 8, but remaining white just 
opposite the veins. Hind wing with buff -yellow hairs on inner margin; some 
fuscous scaling on veins 2 to 8 at terminal area; an indistinct black terminal 
line; cilia white and checkered as in fore wing. 
Under side of both wings white and with a terminal black line and some dark 
scaling on the veins at terminal area. „ 
$ . Of stouter build ; the antennae are unfortunately missing in my speci- 
men, but are probably simple as in the $ the branches are already very short, 
only a little oyer thickness of shaft. 
The areole of the fore wing is in this species normal. 
Exp. cL 48 mm. ; $ , 53 mm.

Type interpellatrix . Description from interpellatvix . 
<£, Proboscis almost absent; palpi upturned, reaching vertex of head; 
first joint short, about fth of second joint; second joint long, curved at base, 
gradually tapering; third joint very minute, in some species absent; all joints 
covered with rather short hairs and scales; eyes rounded, large, naked; frons 
rounded, covered with hairs and scales; antennae in $ about frd of costa in 
length, in $ only fth; basal joint globular and with a tuft of hairs and scales 
in front; bipectinated for fth, then serrate; pectination rather long, in middle 
about 5 times shaft; each branch with a terminal bristle and ciliated anteriorly; 
fore legs with a rather narrow, somewhat pointed process, reaching till end of 
tibia; mid tibia with two spurs as long as fth of tibia; spurs with a terminal 
serrate edge on inner side and covered with hairs; hind legs with four spurs, 
about frd of tibia and in structure as on twiddle legs; all femora covered 
with long hairs ; tibia of fore leg with hairs and scales, of other legs with hairs 
only; tarsi with dense, short, stout hairs. 
Fore wing sub-triangular, costa almost straight, well curved towards apex, 
outer margin somewhat rounded, oblique, inner margin straight, apex and 
tornus rounded ; 1 b forked ; 2 from just beyond frd lower median ; 3 from before 
lower angle; 4 from angle; 5 from middle of discocellulars, which are straight 
and erect; 6 from upper angle or more or less stalked with 7, 8, 9, 10; stalk 
from upper angle; 8 from just beyond frd of 7 ; 9 from before frd of 8 ; 10 from 
middle of origin of 7 and 8; 11 from beyond fth upper median; 12 straight, 
parallel to costa. Hind wing somewhat circular; costa, termen and inner 
margin well curved ; apex and tornus well rounded ; 1 a and 1 b straight ; 2 from 
frd lower median; 3 from just before lower angle; 4 from angle; 5 from above 
middle of discocellulars, which are oblique ; 6 and 7 on a stalk of f of 6 ; 8 free, 
first upcurved, then curved towards upper median and parallel to it till near 
upper angle, then curved towards costa.
