proximally, mi.xed with dark red distally, running from three-fifths costa to about 

 middle of hindmargiu, moderately excurved between R' and M^ ; distal area reddish, 

 mixed (especially in proximal half) with violaceous, the veins in distal half remaining 

 clearer rufous; a sprinkling of silvery scales, especially in vicinity of postmedian 

 line; a row of large, ill-defined black spots through the middle of this area, 



separated by the veins ; some weak black interneural dots on distal margin. 



Hindwing similar, without yellow costa and cell-dot ; the postmedian line abont the 

 middle of the wing. 



Underside with costa and cell-spot of forewing duller; both wings with the 

 distill area dull dark ])urple-fuscous (in the middle blackish), the distal margin 

 itself remaining yellowish.

Distinguished by the broad, black-spotted distal area. 



<5(3. Zamarada vigilans sp. nov. 



S, 30 mm. Head and palpus ochreous, strongly mixed with purple-brown, 

 the face much more so than the vertex. Antennal shaft ochreous, dotted with 

 fuscous. Thorax and abdomen dorsally dark glossy fnscous. (Hiudlegs lost.) 



Forewiiu/ rather broad, but with the termen oblique and anteriorly rather 

 straight, apex moderately sharp ; costal margin ochreous, irregularly spotted with 

 fuscous and metallic scales ; ground-colour palest iridescent greenish (almost 

 colourless), with violet reflections, especially in front of median vein and in sub- 

 median area ; basal patch irrorated with olivaceous grey ; a very broad median area 

 of dense olive-grey irroration and strigulatiou in posterior half of wing ; a large 

 blackish cell-spot (diameter fully 15 mm), marked on DO with a line of silvery 

 scales ; a broad (4 mm.) dark fuscous marginal band, bounded proximally by 

 a nearly straight line and traversed close to this boundary by an interrupted silvery 

 one ; subterminal line indicated by some interrupted V-shaped silvery marks ; 



fringe pale at tips. Ilindwiiif) with discal dot minute, the rest nearly as on 



forewing, the broad median shade traversing the whole wing ; basal patch very 

 small, edged distally by a narrow fuscons band.

 coll. Brit. Mns. 



A very distinct species. The only other Zamarada known to me with the 

 very large blackish cell-spot is perlepidata Walk. {List Lep. Ind. xxvi. 1565) = 

 exquisita Warr. {Nov. Zool. xvi. 115) nov. syn. = terpsichore Ob. {Et. Lep. vi. 258, 

 f. 1461) nov. syn., which is white, the borders almost black, margined proximally 

 by a less straight, crcnulate line, etc. 



67. Zamarada medianata sp. nov. 



? , 28 mm. Face and palpus whitish brown, darker spotted. Vertex, thorax 

 and abdomen light brown, base of abdomen dorsally with slight dark admixtnre. 



Wings with the hyaline parts brown-whitish with scattered fuscons dots. 



Forewinq with costal margin very light ochreous brown, strigulated with fuscons, 

 especially at origin of lines, the strigulatiou at origin of median shade condensed 

 and extending 2 mm. along the costa ; hindmargin also tinged with brown ; 

 antemedjan }ine fnscous, somewhat interrupted, angled subcostally ; cell-spot small,
