292 NOVITATE? ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 



mesonotiim and a short line ou the patai,'ia lilack ; abiloraen black, the middle 

 stripe and the edges of the segments grey, sharply defined and not broader than in 

 /. /'. rimosa, from Cnba, ou last segment the black more extended than the grey 

 colouring ; underside of abdomen greyish ochraceous buff. 



Forewiiig, ahorc, with only the costal jiortion of the lines distinct, the lines in 

 outer half of wing indicated by dots on the veins, in between the veins more or less 

 distinct thin black streaks which do not quite reach the fringe-spots, the extremities 

 being the most distinct portion of the streaks, below the apex a blackish marginal 

 spot followed by a larger submarginal spot, on the proximal side of which an 



angle-f^luipcd sptit is placed. The border of the liindwing 81 mm. broad in centre, 



bearing a large grey anal spot in which the usual two black bars are but fitintly 

 indicated, the black edge of anal margin very distinct, the orange colour of both the 

 upperside and under uf a deeper tint than in the other /7'/«o.s«-forms. 



Undersidii drab, much darker than in 1. r. rimosa, inclitnx and molitor, without 

 transverse lines ; on forewing two costal spots in outer half, a terraced oblique 

 band from apex to upper radial, consisting of three contiguous spots, and a diifuse 

 submarginal baud from hiudmargin some distance forward brownish black, basal 



area below cell orange. Hindwiiig orange from centre of cell to abdominal 



margin, this area well defined, rest of wing like forewing slightly shaded with grey. 



Nearest to /. /•. molifor It. A; J. (1915), from Haiti, but the latter is much more 

 greyish white, particularly beneath, lias more extended markings on the forewing 

 above, and a distinct double bar in the grey anal patch of the hindwiiig ; moreover, 

 the yellow colour of the hindwing is paler in molifor, and, on the underside, just 

 enters the cell instead of occujiying more than lialf of it. 



3. Panacra busiris atima subsp. nov. 



?. Magis fnscata quam /'. i. i'/*'/;v'A- Walk. (1856), partibus viridibiis sordidi- 

 oribns ac in ala antica minoribns, alls jwsticis subtns ferrugineo marginatis.

Agrees best with the sj)ccimens from the Andamans, P. b. marina 11. it J. 

 (1915). The thorax and median area of the forewing are much less green than 

 in P. b. busiris, the median area, moreover, is smaller and exteriorly much shaded 

 with black-brown, the two oblique lines which bound this area on the outer side are 

 farther apart, and the lines placed in busiris before the hindmargiu outside that 

 double line are represented by irregular black speckles, submarginal line slightly 

 crenate. 



On underside the outer area of the forewing ferruginous, brighter and more 

 unicolorous than in busiris, also butter defined and slightly narrower, the pale streak 

 situated at the costal edge of this area proximally to the line of blackish dots very 

 small. Distal marginal area of hindwing deep ferruginous, with a conspicuous grey 

 submarginal band from near costal margin to near middle, continued by a greyish 

 line, disc and abdominal area marked with ferruginons. 



4. Macroglossum oceanicum spec. nov. 



? . M. corytho colore subsimilis, alarum anticarum apice obtusiorc atque margine 

 externo convexiore, posticis subtus aurantiaco suffnsis, palpis subtns albo-griseis, 

 abdomineaurantiaco-trimacnlato, subtus luteo-griseo, versus latera plus minus I'usco- 

 brunneo, peaicillo anali unicolore apice inseusim pallidiore.
