sinuate-bowed, somewhat oblique; pale ochreous largely suffused 
brownish, veins finely lined fuscous, costal area obliquely streaked 
fuscous and blackish irroration, median longitudinal area with dark 
fuscous interneural streaks, dorsal area sprinkled fuscous ; costa 
with pairs of whitish strigulae separated by dark fuscous marks ; 
ocellus laterally margined greyish-leaden, enclosing a suffused white 
spot above tornus and two blackish marks above this, anterior 
margin preceded by a strong black mark towards dorsum ; white 
marginal dots above and below a brown apical spot,: cilia light 
brownish, base white, an interrupted dark grey subbasal line. 
Hindwings 3 and 4 stalked ; light grey; cilia whitish-grey, a grey

ANTXCTENXSTA. n. g. 
Antennae c? simple, slightly roughened with scales above towards 
middle. Palpi moderate, subascending, second joint with appressed 
scales, slightly rough anteriorly, terminal joint very short. Thorax 
with apical hairscales of tegulae lengthened and probably expan¬ 
sible. Forewings 3-5 approximated at base, 7 separate, to termen. 
Hindwings without cubital pecten ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly 
approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated towards base. 
The first instance in the family of the absence of cubital pecten 
in hindwings; yet on the sum of characters it must be referred 
here. If the cubital pecten serves any purpose in maintaining the 
relative position of the wings in flight (which is the only use I can 
suggest), possibly in this species its function is performed by the 
discal hairscales beneath forewings.

Palpi whity-brownish. Thorax ferruginous-brownish. Fore wings 
posteriorly dilated, termen slightly rounded, vertical; ferruginous 
suffusedly mixed grey; costa strigulated throughout dark fuscous 
and whitish; a moderately broad dark ferruginous dorsal streak 
from base to tornus, bright deep ferruginous towards base and on a 
triangular median prominence of upper edge, apex also forming 
a triangular prominence upwards ; several short blue-leaden strigse 
from costa on posterior half, uniting in a subcostal line running to 
termen beneath apex; ocellus enclosed anteriorly and beneath, and 
on upper part posteriorly by violet-leaden streaks, pale brownish 
crossed by three dark brown dashes (cilia imperfect). Hindwings 
dark fuscous ; cilia greyish, a dark grey subbasal shade. Forewings 
beneath with upwards-directed brush of rough grey hairscales on 
lower margin of cell from base to near middle.
