2. Coptotelia gnorisma, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 25.) 
Antennae pale fawn, reddish at the base. Pulpit very long, the median joint scimitar-shaped, projecting, 
slightly recurved ; ochreous, speckled with fuscous, and tinged with reddish orange toward its outer 
end; terminal joint short, erect, acutely triangular; reddish orange at its base, yellow at the apex.

rectangular apex, termen slightly oblique, tornus well-defined ; yellowish, much suffused with fawn- 
ochreous and reddish orange; a minute black dot on the cell, at one-third of the wing-length, in a spot of 
the yellow ground-colour, is followed by an oblique black spot at the end of the cell, an oblique dark 
fuscous dorsal shade, arising at one-fourth from the base, crosses the fold, and passes between the two 
black spots, blending with the fawn shading towards the costa, where a narrow dark fuscous shade 
occupies the middle of the margin between two equally narrow, elongate, white marginal spots, a third 
minute white spot occurring before the apex ; termen somewhat shaded with fawn-brownish, extending 
to one-half the length of the cilia, which along the middle of the termen are pale yellowish on their outer 
half; cilia at the extreme apex fuscous, at the tornus grey, tipped with rosy pink ; underside rosy pink,
