IGn. Xenoclystia hirticosta spec. nov. 



In Nov. Zool. xiii. p. 133 I described two species of Xenoclystia, unipuncta and 



kumerata, which were superficially alike, but distinguished in the Jc? by the 

 enlarged shoulder in hindwing of kumerata ; both these species have now come from 

 Biagi, and along with them a third, which also, at first sight, might easily lie 

 mistaken for them, and agreeing with unipuncta in having the hindwing uormal 

 in the S ; but it is characterised in the <$ by the costa of forewing being fringed 

 with rough scales throughout, the subcostal area below it on the underside being 

 clothed with rough scales. The forewing above in the costal half is more varied 

 with red and brown scales, and the edges of the markings bright with lustrous 

 scales, as in unipuncta. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm.

 101. Hastina fiavidula spec. nov. 



Forewing : semihvaliue yellow, crossed by waved, interrupted, scarlet and 

 purple lines accompanied by lustrous blue scales ; a small basal patch entire ; 

 a double basal line, bent on subcostal vein, interrupted between median and sub- 

 median ; a partially triple median fascia, a little before middle, interrupted between 

 veius 4 and 2, then widened out into three distinct bracket-shaped marks ; two 

 scarlet waved and dentate submarginal lines, the inner broadly margined and partly 

 hidden by a purple blotch from below costa lo vein 3, the outer with the purple 

 blotch reaching apex and extending only to vein 6, but reappearing on margin 

 between 3 and 4; red marginal spots, partly confluent; fringe yellow; the inner 

 edge of the marginal area bears a deep sinus outwards between 4 and 2. 



Hindwing: without inner lines ; median band interrupted in middle and 

 forming a square blotch before middle of inner margin ; submarginal lines wider 

 apart, the purple markings thinner. 



Underside pale yellow, with the brown only showing through. 



Face red; vertex white with a red spot behind ; thorax purple and red mixed ; 

 dorsum red, with yellow spots and lustrous scales ou each segment ; basal segments 

 with a large lustrous blotch ; abdomen beneath and legs yellow.
