(j4. Agyrta germana sp. nov. 



(?. At first sight this insect's pattern is similar to A, nitens, but the dark 

 margin of the hindwing reaches farther up the abdominal area and is more dilated 

 inwards towards median vein. It is smaller, has narrower wings, and is not so 

 blue, and can be at once distinguished by the white spots on the tegnlae and at 

 base of patagia, and by the two subdorsal and sublateral lavender-grey lines on 

 the abdomen.
