streaked blackish on fold, edge rather convex and somewhat pro¬ 
jecting above and below middle, dorsal edge brownish; a grey 
patch extending on dorsum from before middle to near tornus, 
anterior half not reaching middle, posterior half reaching | across 
wing, second discal stigma forming a strong transverse black spot 
placed in angle of this, a series of 3 cloud}' blackish-grey spots 
surrounding this behind and beneath and continued bv 3 smaller 
irregular spots towards costa before middle; a marginal series of 
blackish linear marks round posterior half of costa and termen, 
some slight grey suffusion round apex : cilia white. Hindwings 
light grey, apex slenderly white, with two small dark fuscous 
marginal marks ; costa expanded on basal half, with strong pro¬ 
jecting fringe of white and greyscales; a whitish subcostal hair- 
pencil reaching to beyond middle lying beneath forewings ; cilia 
whitish.

Allied to ‘praecisa. 
Antaeotricha stringens, n. sp. 
cf . 21 mm. Head white. Palpi white, a dark grey streak on 
basal half of second joint. Thorax white, centrally suffused light 
grey. Genitalia: apex of gnathos truncate, with, very minute 
central tooth. Forewings slightly narrowed posteriorly; shining 
white, markings rather dark grey ; a median dash near base ; a 
thick subdorsal streak from near base to expanded downwards 
in middle to rest on dorsum; an irregular streak from costa at | to 
a quadrate blotch on dorsum beyond middle ; second discal stigma 
forming a small transverse mark ; an irregular rather curved streak 
from above middle of disc passing just beyond this to a transverse 
prsetornal spot narrowed on dorsum ; a somewhat curved dentate 
streak (or series of confluent marks) from f of costa to tornus but 
widely interrupted beneath costa ; a marginal streak of 3 or -4 
confluent spots on apex and upper part of termen, widest at apex : 
cilia white, suffused grey on apical streak. Hindwings light grey, 
whitisli-tinged near base, costa suffused white posteriorly ; costa 
expanded on basal half, with projecting tuft of dark grey hair- 
scales before middle, a yellowish-tinged subcostal groove with a 
few short whitish hairs at base : cilia white, towards middle of 
termen a greyish subbasal shade. 
Brazil, Teffe, December (Parish) ; 2 ex. Extremely similar to 
smileuta , but in that species there is an abundant subcostal hair- 
pencil of very long whitish hairs, and the apex of gnathos is 
triangularly pointed. 
Antaeotricha pactota Meyr. 
Veins 8 and 9 of forewings are coincident; this peculiarity, 
which distinguishes it from all the other members of the inquinula 
group (though in pseuclochyta these veins are stalked), is constant 
(I have a good series, including an example from Para, Brazil), but 
is omitted in my original description.
