another between ordinary spots, a third just below that and a fourth on 

 inner margin. S. t. line pale, irregularly incised opposite cell and at lower 

 third of wing, here cutting through quite to t. p. line ; the space between 

 it and t. p. line is dark brownish-black, and, as just mentioned, is cut into 

 three patches by the s. t. line. Beyond s. t. line the wing is pale grayish. 

 Fringe gray and white checkered, with well-marked line at base, which is 

 evenly and neatly cut into shoit bars by the same white dashes which cut 

 the fringe. Orbicular minute white point. Reniform white-ringed, darker 

 centered, rather narrow. The markings on the fore wing are neat and 

 distinct, giving a well-marked checkered appearance, quite different from 

 any other species in the genus. Hind wing dark fuscous, with a very 

 faint discal dot and mesial band. Fringe pale, with darker mesial band. 



Head and thorax concolorous with fore wing, abdomen with hind. 



Beneath, fore wings fuscous, with obscure discal mark. Hind wing 

 paler, with distinct discal dot and well-marked mesial band.

Oligia ensina, n. sp. — $. Expanse, 28 mm. 



Fore wing reddish-brown. Basal half-line distinct, double, pale-filled. 

 T. a. double, dark brownish-black, transverse across cell, then somewhat 

 outwardly to inner margin, slightly scalloped. The upper half of wing, 

 between basal half-line and t. a., dark blackish-brown, forming a strongly 

 contrasting subquadrangular patch. Median shade not well marked, 

 somewhat irregular and dentate. T. p. line double, pale-filled, inner 

 portion more prominent, slightly scalloped. The space between t. a. and 

 t. p. line is quite evenly coloured, tliere being, however, some blackish 

 scales along costa, above reniform and a blackish streak beyond it. S. t. 

 line fragmentary, composed of pale blotches between veins, the space 

 between it and t. p. line is slightly darkened, witli a well-marked black 

 dash across it below costa, and another beyond lower portion of cell. The 

 terminal space is somewhat paler than subterminal, the veins, however, 

 being rather broadly darkened. A rather faint dark terminal line. Fringe 

 concolorous, somewhat paler at base. Orbicular rather small, concolorous, 

 pale-ringed. Reniform quite strongly inwardly oblique, more or less 

 well-developed tooth projecting inward from lower portion, an outer pale 

 ring, within which is a darker ring, the centre again becoming pale. 

 Lower portion with some blackish scales. Hind wing pale blackish- 

 fuscous, darker outwardly, with a well-marked discal dot. F>inge slightly 

 paler, with slightly darker mesial band. Head and lower half of collar
