In the ? the fulvous tints are replaced by fiery red, and all the dark markings 

 are intenser ; the broad central fascia is flushed with leaden purplish throughout, 

 and the fringes of both wings are broad and iron-grey ; the apical half of patagia,

 of fulvous.

A small condensed mimic of S. xanthoscia Warr. 



25. Striglina costirufata spec. nov. 



Forewing : red, like S. reversa and ncintillans, bnt without, the blackish costa ; 

 crossed by curved rows of deeper spots with slightly paler spaces between them ; 

 of these rows two basal, two median, and a postmedian are more or less marked 

 with black, the two median forming a black blotch at inner margin ; costa with 

 nine black spots ; black dots at ends of veins ; fringe pinkish.

 pale ochreons. 



Underside paler, reddish ochreons, with the spots showing deeper ; costa with 

 the black spots of npperside ; the marginal dots black.

20. Striglina dentifascia spec. nov. 



Forewing : deep orange-red at base dotted with yellow, crossed by four 

 curved rows of dark marks ; in the marginal area the orange-red is obscured, except 

 towards costa, by blackish suffusion ; between them a plumbeous lilac-grey irregular 

 fascia, its inner margin running from one-third of costa towards middle of inner 

 margin, above which it crosses to join the outer margin ; this starts from three-fifths 

 of costa, runs outwards at right angles along vein 5, forming a tridentate projection 

 towards outer margin, and is then incurved across submedian interval to anal angle ; 

 the costa above it black and orange-red ; at the end of cell touching the basal area, 

 of which it seems to form a projection, is an oblong vertical black-edged cell-spot ; 

 fringe pale grey ; the inner half paler than the outer, but traversed by a dark line. 



Hindwing : without the plumbeous suffusion; inner margin and fringe pale 

 ochreons. 



Underside dull rufous, darker along margins before the grey fringes. 



Head, palpi, and thorax orange-red ; patagia and dorsum grey, the former 

 pale ; a red line down middle of dorsum ; alidomen beneath and legs rufous 

 ochreons.
