221. Hyposidra apicefulva spec, now 



Forettnng : brownish fawn-colour, slightly dark-speckled and in places suffused 

 with deeper brownish ; lines dark brown, thick ; first from one-third of costa 

 vertical to snbmedian fold, (hen inbent, often preceded by a darker shade, the whole 

 basal area sometimes darker: outer line at two-thirds, thickened and dark above 

 middle, obscurely Innnlate-dentate below, shortly preceded by an obscure median 

 line, to which it is joined between veins 5 and 6 by a conspicuous horizontal black- 

 brown blotch : snbmarginal line lunulate-dentate, indistinct, generally preceded by 

 a browner suffusion; the apex beyond it above vein 8 always marked by a fulvous 

 patch of varying intensity; fringe concolorous ; cell-spot blackish; the lines are 

 generally all darker at costa, which is in seine cases darkened throughout. 



Hindwing : with double antemedian line, and strongly marked lunulate-dentate 

 postmedian; the margin browner, with a snbmarginal shade which becomes 

 brighter, containing a white spot, on inner margin. 



Underside paler, coarsely black-speckled; the lines black; inner margin of 

 both wings pale ochreous ; fringe brown. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous ; basal segments of abdomen paler, 

 with pairs of black spots ; metathorax with dark brown tuft. 



The aberration lignata, somewhat smaller than the type, is wood-colour, 

 suffused with brown above and below. 



Both forms concur in the possession of the black or brown blotch between 

 median and outer line, and of the fulvous apical blotch. I should have considered 

 the species as only one of the many forms of//, incomptaria Wlk., but with them 

 came a single ¥, with the outer margin simply curved between 4 and G, not excised 

 as is the case with ? ? of incomptaria. This ? is pale wood-colour, tinged with 

 brown in the marginal areas and strongly dark-speckled, with all markings as in 

 the cJcJ, except the strong black blotch, which is absent. 



Expanse of wings : c? 50 — 55 mm. ; ab. lignata ; S 46 — 48 mm.; ? To mm. 



11 66,1 ?. 



Of the 6 6, S are referable to the type form, and the remaining 3 to ab. lignata, 

 to which form the ? also appears to belong. 



The 66 of this species seem unusually liable to grease. 



222. Mimomiza bimaculata spec. nov. and ab. praeflava nov. 

 Forewing : canary-yellow, with some scattered brown speckling; costal edge 

 pink ; lines olive-grey or brownish ; basal very obscure, from one-sixth of costa, 

 angled in cell, then vertical; inner line from one-fourth, bent outwards from 

 subcostal vein and angled in cell, then vertical, marked by a brown blotch in 

 submedian interval and another, rounder, on inner margin; outer line oblique and 

 straight from apex to two-thirds of inner margin, preceded by a large oblong black- 

 brown blotch reaching from vein 4 to inner margin, with a large round black-brown 

 cell-spot ; snbmarginal line indicated sometimes by dark spots on the folds ; fringe 

 yellow. 



Hindwing : similar, with an inner biconcave line and a straight one just beyond 

 middle ; snbmarginal marked in some cases by an oblique streak from costa 

 touching the outer line, as well as by the two dark brown spots. 



Underside deeper yellow, with the lines and blotches purple-brown varied with 

 some white scales : hindwing with an orange-red patch below apex and some 

 orange speckling along costa.
