greenish slifwliiig above and a little in advance of it ; postmedial line donble, with 

 a white centre, nearly erect, but slightly hollowed, and extending basewards along 

 the costa for a sliort distance ; from this line nearly to the termen the ground colour 

 is pale lilac-pink ; termen yellowish. Secondary uniformly yellow, slightly paler 

 at the base ; fringes reddish. 



E.xpanse : 48 mm. 



Ilab. The type is in my collection from the Kebea Range, where it was taken 

 in Jaly. 



This species is near C. rliodophila ; but I believe that it is not a true Carea, 

 but should be jjlaced in the genns Careades, a new genus, described later on in this 

 paper. 



163. Carea pratti spec. nov. 



S. Head and collar velvety dark greenish brown, thorax and abdomen pale 

 ochreous. Primary pale oehreous with a broad dark oblique straight greenish 

 brown band from before the middle of the inner margin into the apex, beyond 

 which the ground is pinker ; the inner costal angle of the oblique band is filled 

 in with pale greenish brown ; termen greenish brown, tapering finely to vein 2. 

 Secondary pale yellowish orange, deeper towards the termen. 



? . Exactly like the male in all particulars. 



Expanse : 46 mm. 



Hah. The type is in my collection from the Kebea Range, where the species 

 occurs in July. 



Careades gen. nov. 



Differs from Carea in that both the mid- and hindlegs are densely clothed with 

 long hair, the mid pair being clothed down to the end of the first segment of the 

 tarsus, the hind jiair down to nearly the end of the tarsus ; in the female the hair 

 is but little longer than usual. The costa (c?) of the primary is strongly waved ; 

 the apex is shortly . falcate ; termen excavated below the apex, then produced 

 outwards in a bold Curve. Secondary strongly excavated in front of the fold, which 

 (fold) is jn'oduced outwards into a slight lobe ; below, lying in the fold, is a long tuft 

 of silky hair. 



Neuration with veins 6 and 7 from the areole, 8 and 9 forked, the latter given 

 ofi'from lU to form the areole. Secondary with veins 3 and 4 strongly curved from 

 the angle, lying touching each other for a short distance. Both cells very short. 



Type : Careades sanguinea B-B. 



164. Careades sanguinea spec. nov. 



<?. Head and thorax deep crimson, abdomen dark grey. Primary dull magenta 

 brownish pink, the area between the antemedial and the obli(iue lines being quite 

 pale ; antemedial line fine, irregular, finely toothed inwardly on the upper margin of 

 the cell, with an ontward curve below this; an oblique broad dark stripe, margined 

 outwardly with blackish, beginning before the middle of the costa and ending 

 almost in the tornus ; a trace of an erect line of dark dentate shading from in 

 front of the a])ex into tiie tornus ; terminal area greenish brown : a fine black point 

 in the cell. Secondary basal half dark greyish brown, outer half red ; beneath in 

 the iunermarginal fold is a long tuft of dark red silky hairs.
