128. Steirophora violacea spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale olive-green, crossed by darker green waved and angulate lines, 

 all more or less marked with blackish, except the dark green thread of the two pale 

 bands ; the dis])Osition of the lines is almost identical with that in <S. auratisquama 

 Warr. from Java; but the gilded yellow scales of that insect are less conspicuous ; 

 instead the present species is characterised by a violet shade, which suffnses the 

 submedian interspace and the outer pale band, and sometimes encroaches on the 

 outer half of central fascia, but not above vein 6.

 curved postmedian band ; a small grey cell-spot.

 followed by the broad blackish inner baud of central fascia; the white centre of the 

 fascia makes the thiee preceding areas appear to form one large basal patch ; outer 

 edge of central fascia at two-thirds, crenulate, oblicjue outwards to below 4, then 

 inwards, preceded by three dark lines, forming its outer band, and followed by a pale 

 greenish band with darker centre ; submarginal line pale greenish grey, preceded and 

 follcjwed l)y a dark band ; the outer one with a pale spot between 3 and 4 ; a dark
