 except along costa, where the intervals between the black spots are pale green ; 

 outer third pale green with the submarginal spot and line hardly marked : 

 hindwing pale green, with dark cell-spot and curved postmedian line, the sub-

117. Rhodomena parcinotata spec. uov. 



Forewing: dark grey-green, slightly darker freckled; costa witli seven black 

 marks, four before middle, three beyond ; the first at base ; the next three giving 

 rise to three outwardly bent obscure lines, the middle one only marked distinctly 

 on inner margin ; from the sixth an interrupted subterminal line rises, marked 

 from 6 to 4, and above inner margin ; pairs of minute dark dots at the ends 

 of veins ; fringe pale green, flecked with darker beyond veins. 



Hindwing : pale grey, rather darker along outer margin ; fringe paler. 



Underside dull greenish grey, paler, more purely green, at apex of forewing ; 

 costa with a black triangular mark before apex and a black blotch before it, from 

 which a generally distinct outer and more obscure submarginal shade run across

 similarly shaped green intervals, each traversed by more or less complete 

 streaks of vinous scales ; the first dark blotch at base, the second close beyond, 

 the whole base narrowly green ; the seventh small, apical, inwardly oblique ; 

 the sixth consisting of two elongated lunules continued nearer outer margin as 

 a submarginal baud of similarly shaped lunules ; below vein and in the lower 

 half of cell the other dark blotches expand into a vinous purple area occupying 

 the whole wing, the green interspaces reappearing along inner margin and as 

 green dots along the median vein ; pairs of fine black dashes at margin at the 

 ends of the veins, which are themselves finely lined with black ; fringe green, 

 with vinous flecks beyond the veins. 



Hindwing : silky white. 



Underside pale glossy green, in forewing with a grey-green sheen in basal
