217. Epitherapis nubilata Rpec. nov. 



Forewing . bone-colour, suffused throughout with an olive-grey tinge, except 

 ou .a triangular costal space from apes to middle, and striated with dark ; lines as 

 in /.'. stramineata, but brownish fuscous and distinct, the basal preceded by a 

 pale line, and the outer followed by a grej one; a submarginal row of black 

 funnies, through the middle' of each of which the white submarginal line passes, 

 the lunule between :i and 4 being largely white ; cell-spot black ; the (dive tinge 

 is strongest towards apex. 



Hindwing: blurred olive-grey, with the lines thickened and blackened, as in 

 stramineata, the inner margin only pale, with clearer speckling. 



Underside of forewiug with basal two-thirds dark grey, all the lines showing ; 

 a small brownish cloud below apex; hindwing suffused witli olive-green, with all 

 the lines and the cell-spot thick and black. 



Face olive ochreons ; palpi externally fuscous ; vertex white ; shoulders 

 brown ; thorax ochreons ; abdomen ochreons speckled all over with brown and 

 olive scales. 



Expanse of wings : 4>> mm.

Intermediate in size, markings, and coloration between /.'. recticisa described 

 below and stramineata Warr., but scarcely to be referred to either. 



218. Epitherapis recticisa spec. nov. and ab. procellosa nov. 



S. Forewing: greyish fawn-colour, irregularly black-speckled; the lines 

 darker, and black-marked at the veins ; the first from one-fourth of costa, the second 

 from before middle, the outer from two-thirds; the first angled in cell, the second 

 and third on vein 6, but the latter interrupted ; the first, is preceded and the outer 

 followed by a pale line, succeeded by a dark shade which runs towards apex; below 

 the middle the three lines are oblique and generally parallel, though sometimes 

 the median approaches the inner; submarginal line waved; whitish near costa, 

 generally preceded and followed by olive-green or olive-brown shading, above 

 middle followed by black spots; from the angle in cell the brown upper arm of 

 cond line is continued straight along below vein to outer margin underlined 

 by a line pale ochreons streak ; fringe brownish, slightly darker at ends of veins. 



Hindwing: paler and less speckled, except on extreme inner margin, where 

 the speckles are black on a pale ochreons streak ; a straight grey antemedian line, 

 and a curved postuicdian lunulate-dentate shade, and sometimes slight traces of a 

 curved outer line. 



The ? ? are more uniform in coloration, with less speckling and obscurely 

 marked lines : without the sharply marked horizontal line to outer margin, but 

 with a large brown triangular shade on outer margin from the angle of middle line ; 

 in the aberration procellosa this cloud is black and reaches inner margin, giving the 

 insect an entirely different aspect. 



Underside grey in the forewing, speckled only round the margins, ochreons in 

 the hindwing, showing the lines and black speckles clearly; in the i more uniformly 

 grey or lilac-grey with the lines reproduced. 



Ileal, thorax, and abdomen like wings; shoulders edged by a straight brown 

 line; the metathorax with a pair of black spots; the dorsum with paired black or 

 brown blotches,
