pale ochreous anteriorly, the rest of head infuscated. Antenna pale, 
speckled with fuscous. Body mostly concolorous with wings ; thorax 
darkened in front and with a pair of dark spots dorsally ; abdomen with 
dark spots laterally. 
Wings shaped nearly as in the preceding species, but with the tooth 
at R 3 of hindwing scarcely appreciable. Forewing very pale ochreous 
brown, with scattered fuscous dots and small strigulae, basal and median 
areas, especially the basal costally, with darker, redder suffusion ; lines 
fuscous ; first at one-fourth, strongly bent in cell and slightly indented 
on M and SM 2 ; median at one-half, rather thick, less dark than first except 
at margins, nearly straight, but very slightly bent distally to cell-spot and 
incurved in submedian area ; postmedian at three-fourths, finer, nearly 
parallel with median, but with the curve in anterior half rather stronger ; 
followed by dark purple-fuscous submarginal band, which reaches the 
termen in anterior half (except at extreme apex) and again almost at 
tornus, hence enclosing pale oblique apical patch (the spot between SC 5 
and R 1 still paler) and a second pale patch from R 3 to tornus ; cell-spot 
dark fuscous ; terminal line dark fuscous, thick midway between veins, 
gradually narrowing towards each vein, interrupted at vein-ends. Hind- 
wing slightly paler ; first line wanting ; median dark fuscous, direct in 
its general course, but subsinuate, crossing the dark cell-spot ; postmedian 
dentate outwards on the veins, followed by clouding nearly as in forewing, 
but containing an additional elongate pale mark from close to tornus to 
M 2 ; both wings with some indistinct darker marks in the submarginal 
band about the middle and from M 2 to posterior margin. Underside 
similar, antemedian and median lines weaker, submarginal band still darker, 
apices more clouded with fuscous, the rounded pale subapical spot between 
SC 5 and R 1 of forewing consequently still more conspicuous. 
Three Sisters, 15th February, 1911. Type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. 
Another rather ordinary looking species, probably related to the 
preceding. Near uvidaria Swinh. (Trans. Ent. Soc. Bond., 1904, p. 509), 
but with the median line of both wings quite different, the postmedian 
of forewing less angled and other slight differences. Vein C of forewing 
is furcate, as in uvidaria (or SC 1 out of C 1 ), but its costal arm (C) is very 
weak and slender, and easily overlooked. 
Gyalomia, n. gen. 
Face scarcely or little protuberant, with appressed scales. Palpus 
rather short, second joint rough-scaled beneath, third joint smooth-scaled, 
small, tapering. Tongue developed. Antenna slightly over one-half 
length of wing, in bipectinate with long branches which cease rather 
abruptly, last few joints (about twelve) nearly simple, slightly ciliated ; 
in 2 nearly simple. Pectus somewhat hairy. Femora glabrous. Hind- 
tibia in not dilated, in both sexes with all spurs. Anal tuft in £ well 
developed. Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex moderate, termen 
smooth, moderately oblique, very gently curved ; cell about one-half, 
DC very slightly or quite moderately incurved, SC 1 from cell, well free, 
SC 5 , 2 , 3 , 4 stalked from well before end of cell, radials normal, M 1 separate. 
Hindwing with termen almost evenly rounded, with the slightest possible
