AMESIA SANGUIFLUA. 
PLATE III. Fig. 3. 
Phatena sanguiflua, Drury, Exot. Ent., vol. ii. pi. 20, figs. 1 , 2. 
We have been induced to re-figure this very singu- 
lar moth from a specimen in the collection of the 
Rev. F. W. Hope, not only because Drury’s figures 
are very inaccurate, especially in the form of the 
wings and arrangement of the nervurcs, but because 
they are incomplete, wanting the head and antennse, 
so that it is impossible to obtain an idea of the re- 
lations of the insect. This is still, however, a matter 
of difficult determination, although a certain rela- 
tionship between it and the two species last de- 
scribed cannot be questioned. But the present 
species differs from these in its considerably larger 
size, the singular arched form of the fore wings, and 
the arrangement of the wing-veins, winch, it will be 
seen, are curiously curved at the apical part of the 
fore wings, instead of running straight to the tips. 
In this respect the insect is more nearly related to 
Campylotcs, but it differs from this, and all the 
allied genera, except Eterusia, in not possessing the 
single simple vein which runs from the extremity of
