3 ($6 from the same locality are possibly a distinct species, Wit I prefer at 

 present to refer to them here as ;m aberration : though ninch fainter, the markings, 

 where visible, are practically identical, Wit the ground-colour of all three, above and 

 below, is dull yellow, which has suggested the name flamcata.

I'm 1 1 ring: greyish fuscous, striated with darker and sprinkled with lustrous 

 bluish scales (which are probably more numerous when fresh) ; a paler oblique,

 darker edged ; an outer similar band oblique from two-thirds of costa to vein 4, 

 then incurved and dark ; apex and a marginal shade brownish, like the fringe ; 

 cell-spot formed by two black dots at ends of discocellular, connected by some 

 lustrous blue scales; a patch of grey scales at anal angle. 



Hindwing : brown ; outer line thick and dark, angled on vein 4, concave on 

 each side; apex and marginal streak darker; a deep fulvous line edged with 

 lustrous scales from tooth to tooth, and a black spot below lower tooth ; cell-spot 

 as on forewing.

Forewing with outer margin bulged between o and 4, insinuate from 7 to 4 :

40. Epiplema caligata spec. nov. 



Forewing : grey, speckled with darker ; crossed in middle by a bent fascia 

 with dark edges ; inner edge dark brown acutely angled on vein 4, then oblique 

 inwards to one-third of inner margin, the upper arm obsolete above subcostal vein, 

 but marked by a grey spot on costa at one-fourth ; outer edge sinuous, from 

 two-thirds of costa to three-fourths of inner margin, convex outwards above 

 middle, concave below, preceded below subcostal by a broad dark brown band; 

 a row of dark submarginal spots from costa to below middle of outer margin, 

 and traces of a dark submarginal shade on costa and inner margin; fringe grey.
