2, Mictopsichia durranti, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 13.) 
= *Gauris fuesliniana (partim) Wkr. Cat. Lp. BM. 28 413-4 sp. 2 (1863) '—[spns. f and 7]. 
Antennae pale yellow, basal joint black. Palpi sooty black. Head orange above, face sooty black. Thorax 
reddish orange (sometimes yellowish orange), with a metallic steel-grey patch in the middle, and a line 
- of the same colour across the tegulae. Forewings much widened outwardly, apex produced, almost 
faleate, termen straight, tornus rounded ; deep reddish orange (varying to paler yellowish orange); the 
basal third of the wing with four steel-grey metallic streaks—the first nearly parallel with the costa from 
the base to one-third, connected by two bars to the costa itself; the second from the middle of the base, 
shorter than the first, but parallel with it; the third arising from the dorsum, passing the second 
obliquely and nearly reaching the outer end of the first; the fourth short, arising from the dorsum and 
terminating in a black patch, which crosses the fold and is narrowly connected with a smaller patch on 
the dorsum; there is no black dorsal patch between the third and fourth of the basal streaks [in this 
respect it differs from fuesslyana Stoll, in which the two patches are separated, the lower one preceding 
the upper]; this portion of the wing is bounded by a steel-grey metallic band, somewhat fluctuate, the 
space beyond it, as far as the tornus and to beyond the end of the cell, is distinctly reticulated with dark 
purple, a black patch lying on the costa and outwardly bounded by another steel-grey streak with 
greenish reflections; a shorter straight costal streak follows this, with a black spot between them, and 
in the apical portion of the wing are two longitudinal and two transverse bright metallic green streaks, 
not connected with each other, exceptionally, however, the apical streak reaches the inner transverse 
streak [in this again it differs from fuesslyana Stoll, in which the first of the longitudinal streaks 
joining the first of the transverse ones forms with it a connected curved line, pointing out to the 
costa before the apex]; costal cilia clean white, with a black line along their base, the remaining 
cilia at the apex and termen purplish black; underside with the apical and terminal portion strongly 
reticulate with blackish, and with four or five metallic spots or streaks before the apex—as on the 
upper side, these are disconnected from each other, whereas in fuesslyana Stoll the two middle 
streaks form a single curve. Exp. al. 19-20 mm. Hindwings rich orange (varying to pale yellowish 
orange) with two or three transverse black striae in the apical third; cilia purplish black, with a
