Family SA TURNHUAE. 



1. Dirphia divisa spec. nov. 



S. Antenna pale bnff, the apical processes of each segment much shorter than 



the proximal processes. Head and thorax mummy-brown, flushed with ecru and 



slightly variegated with buif. Abdomen black above, the apices of the segments 



tawny-ochraceous. Underside of body tawny-olive. 



Wings, Kpperside : forewing elongate-triangular, nearly twice as long as 

 broad, tawny-olive ; a white line rans from base, where it is widened to form a 

 small spot, to base of M-, extends at the hinder side of this vein two-fifths the 

 way to the outer margin, where it curves apicad, running almost straight to 

 the costal margin, which it reaches 4 mm. from apex ; this line edged with 

 brownish black on its costal side ; another white line also emanates from the 

 basal costal spot, bat curves first backwards, then forwards, being here united 

 with the first line, and again backwards, nearly having the shape of the letter S 

 and ending at the hiudraargin about 5 mm. from angle ; this line is edged with 

 brownish black on tlie hinder side; between the greyish brown outer marginal 

 area and the white lines there is an irregular blackish band which projects 

 distad between R' and M- ; a black discocellular spot, triangular, pointed costally, 



about 4 mm. long and 3 mm. wide. Hindwing much longer at costal margin 



than at hindmargin, outer margin very oblique ; basal area pinkish ochraceons, 

 especially at hindmargin ; rest of wing dark drab ; a rounded discocellular patch 

 black, its diameter about •5 mm. ; a blackish submarginal line, posteriorly double, 

 anteriorly less distinct and nearer to the margin, the marginal area paler than 

 the disc, 4 mm. wide at M-, and about 2 mm. below apex. 



Underside clay-colour, the long hairs on both wings pinkish ochraceons; in 

 outer half of both wings two rather diffuse blackish bands, the proximal one 

 curved inwards, on forewing approaching lower angle of cell, on hindwing crossing 

 apex of cell, commencing at costal margin close to apex and ending at hind- 

 margin at a short distance from angle, the ground at outer side of this band 

 slightly paler than in centre of wing ; the outer band somewhat irregular, projecting 

 distad between R^ and M". 



Length of forewing : 45 mm. ; breadth, 23 mm.

2. Lobobunaea phaeax spec. nov. 



?. Similar to L. christi/l Sharpe, Ann. May. S. 11. (7) iii. p. 371 (1899) (Niger). 

 Branches of antenna shorter than both in L. christyi and p/iaedusa Drury. Upperside 

 of wings grey, irrorated with numerous black specks ; forewing with ocellus as large 

 as in c/irisli/i ; the discal line thin, crossing the third radial li mm. from the ocellus 



and 18 mm. from the distal margin. Ocellus of hindwing as in the allied species, 



but its deep red outer ring much more sharply defined ; discal line absent. 



Underside: both wings sjiccklcd with black, grey from base to discal lino, 

 and brown from this line to the distal margin, the latter itself l)roa(lly blackish 

 with the exception of the hinder angle of the fore- and the apical angle of the
