8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to below apex ; ochreous-brown ; stigmata 
hardly indicated by slight infuscation, plical slightly beyond first 
discal ; a fine white very oblique line from costa at |, abruptly

Formosa, Hassensan, August (S. IssiJci ) ; I ex. Allied to 
opportuna. Possibly the dark antennal spot at about | may be an 
individual abnormality, but it is alike in both antennae ; if normal, 
it is unique in the genus.
