132 HETEROCERA. 
somewhat thickly clothed above nearly to its apex. Head yellowish, profusely sprinkled with red. 
Thorax fawn-brown, suffused with red along the centre. Forewings, with the costa somewhat arched, 
the termen deeply sinuate below the apex, and almost angulate at its middle, tornus rounded ; dark 
fawn-brown, with rich reddish patches mixed with pale yellow, and two transparent spots on the cell — 
almost white; the red suffusion commences at the base of the dorsum, extending widely along it and 
narrowly upward to the costa, where it ends in a white marginal spot preceded by a yellowish 
spot below it, the first transparent spot on the cell lying also within its area at its outer edge; this 
reddish suffusion is scarcely and very indistinctly separated by fawn-brown from larger red suffusion, 
occupying the whole central third of the dorsum and extending upward to the costa, where it ends 
in a white marginal spot at three-fourths from the base; this suffused portion, extending beyond the 
edge of the cell, contains at its inner edge, on the extremity of the cell, the second whitish transparent 
spot, it is also broken by three or four ill-defined yellow patches and by a large dark fuscous patch 
below and beyond the lower angle of the cell; cilia on their basal half fawn-brown, at the apex and 
projecting angles fawn-brown throughout, between these points whitish, on their outer half chequered 
with reddish ochreous; underside fawn-brownish, much mottled with bone-white, the costa profusely 
speckled with brown and white, the termen with white between the veins. Exp. al. 19 mm. 
Hindwings semitrausparent, bone-whitish on their basal half, shaded with fawn-brown beyond, 
an elongate fuscous spot showing through from the underside at the outer end of the cell; cilia 
bone-whitish, with a fawn-brown shade running through them at their base; underside whitish, 
speckled with dark brown along the costa and on the outer third, a dark brownish fuscous spot at the 
ond of the cell, and narrow brown shades between the veins. Abdomen pale fawn-brownish. Legs 
whitish, speckled with tawny reddish.

[Through the kindness of M. Paul Dognin I have been able to examine the ‘I'ype of 
this species (¢ Popayan, 6559 Drnt. Det 1911): it agrees with colpodes Wlsm. 
in having FW: 9 out of the stalk of 7-8, and should therefore be referred to 
Hyphypena, rather than to Coptotelia, H. colpodes and nigriplaga are very closely 
allied, but the terminal joint of the palpi of nigriplaga is distinctly shorter than that 
of colpodes.—Drnt.| .

Closely allied to Hyphypena Wrn., both agreeing in wing-form and neuration, 
except that in Hyphypena FW: 9 arises from the stalk of 7-8, while in Coptotelia 9 is
