NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIV. 1917. 303 



27. Berta copiosa spec. nov. 



(J, 23 mm. Face pale olivaceous. Palpus with third joint shortish ; oliva- 

 ceous, beneath white. Vertex white. Occiput mixed with olivaceous. An- 

 tenna bipectinate to about the middle. Thorax and abdomen above olivaceous, 

 with indistinct whitish spots ; beneath more mixed with white. Hindtarsus 

 less than half as long as tibia. 



Forewing shaped as in chrysolineata Walk. ; discocellulars characteristic ; 

 SC from cell, anastomosing slightly with C, 8C= arising after SC, free ; dull 

 olivaceous, with some slight whitish irroration ; markings sharply white ; two 

 spots between the veins near base ; antemedian line thickened and lunulate 

 outward in cell, still more deeply lunulate outward in submedian area, but 

 proximally filled in with white so as*to form a spot ; a small spot in cell just 

 proximal to DC and some vaguer spots behind it ; an elongate costal mark 

 from just proximally of DC to the ana.stomosis of SC with C ; partly confluent 

 with this costal mark is an irregularly quadrate patch between the radials slightly 

 beyond the cell ; elongate interneural marks just beyond this, between costal 

 margin and R' ; postmedian line zigzag, thickened proximally into a double 

 spot between the radials, interrupted at M', reappearing rather more proximally 

 as three large interneural spots between M' and hindmargin, the first the largest ; 

 subterminal line broken into spots, wanting between R= and R^ small posteriorly; 

 termen and fringe as in chrysolineata. Hindwing similar, but with a con- 

 spicuous spot on middle of abdominal margin in ahgnment with the radial, 

 postdiscal patch, which is less quadrate (more transversely elongate) than on 

 forewing. 



Underside white, with slight ohvaceous cell-marks (irregularly ocellated 

 in their anterior part) and wavy olivaceous transverse lines, the postmedian 

 thickened into an irregular, narrow band, the subterminal also distinct. 



Naga Hills, Assam, 1,500-3,000 ft., September— October 1889 (W. Doherty). 

 Type in coll. Tring Museum. 



28. Comostola hypotyphla spec. nov. 



?, 25 mm. Face red. Palpus about two-and-a-half times, third joint almost 

 as long as, diameter of eye. Vertex white ; occiput green. $ antenna somewhat 

 serrate. Thorax above green, abdomen mixed with whitish. 



Forewing with SC from cell, free, R' barely stalked, DC not extremely 

 sinuous ; Ught glaucous green, nearly as in 7nacvkita, Moore ; costal edge narrowly 

 whitish, unspotted ; antemedian dots on M and SM= ; the dull red cell-dot 

 small, not pale-centred, the whitish ring around it very slender ; postmedian 

 yellowish white, consisting of moderate dots on R' and R« nearly 4 mm. from 

 termen, a curved Hue (confluent elongate dots) from R' to beyond M' slightly 

 nearer to termen, a dot at M= slightly receding and a nearly vertical mark from 

 fold to hindmargin nearly 4 mm. from tornus ; some red scales sometimes notice- 

 able at distal edge of these spots ; terminal line white, accompanied proximally 

 by some short and very slender dark reddish interneural dashes ; fringe white, 



with a tinge of green. Hindwing with termen bent at R' ; cell-mark as on 



forewing ; postmedian line chiefly marked by lunules on R' and R'-M' and a 

 somewhat enlarged spot on middle of abdominal margin ; terminal line and 

 fringe as on forewing.
