316 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917 



tion may prove to differ specifically from roboraria Schiff., as the subterminal 

 line looks somewhat more dentate, at least on the hindwing. 



53. Sabaria euchroes spec nov. 



2, 28 mm. Head and palpus purple-red, third joint of palpus somewhat 

 darkened. Antennal shaft reddish at base, gradually whitening ; pectinations 

 longer than in rondelaria F. ( = squalidaria Hb.). Thorax and abdomen above 

 dark fuscous, the thorax (especially in front) mixed with purplish. 



Forewing rather broad, with the projection at mid-termen strong ; purplish, 

 shaded with light violet-grey, especially in costal region ; proximal area a little 

 darker than distal, somewhat shaded with olive-fuscous posteriorly ; costal edge 

 to two-fifths narrowly reddish, thence narrowlj'^ dark olive-grey, interrupted by 

 pale spots in middle of central area and mostly pale towards apex ; central area 

 light olivaceous, with brown edgings which thicken into irregular spots anteriorly 

 — ^the proximal in cell and forwards, the distal only near costa ; proximally this 

 band is bounded by a light violet-grey line, arising at two-fifths costa, very 

 oblique outward, sharply bent in cell, then rather oblique inward to hindmargin 

 before middle ; distally by an anteriorly whiter line, arising at costa 2 mm. 

 from apex, angulated just behind SC^ then straightish (very feebly incurved) 

 to hindmargin ^nthin 3 mm, of tornus ; fringe darkened mth olivaceous to 

 reddish, at extreme base paler, Himlwing rather broad, sUghtly sinuate in- 

 ward before the tornus, which consequently appears somewhat more produced 

 than in rondelaria ; anterior half Ught red, with the postmedian Une indicated 

 in darker red, slightly pale-edged distally ; posterior half continuing the colora- 

 tion and markings of fore-wing. 



Underside light red, of somewhat varj-ing shades ; costal margin of fore- 

 wing ochreous ; the costal edge spotted and lined with olive-fuscous ; both 

 wings with darker red postmedian hne : fringes, especially of forewing, darkened 

 with oUvaceous.

 coll. Brit. Mus. 



54. Hypochrosis martini spec. nov. 



(J, 48 mm. Head and upperside of thorax seal-brown. Thorax beneath 

 paler. Abdomen elongate, seal-brown, a narrowing orange ventral patch from 

 base to beyond middle : projecting tufts of white hair (? coremata) at anal end. 



Forewing narrow, with distal margin long and very oblique, anal angle 

 rounded ; a transverse band of buff (at each end rather more ochreous) from 

 two-fifths costa to tornus, 15 mm. wide at costa, rather broader from cell-fold 

 hindward, its edges somewhat crenulate ; a very short, very slender, similarly 



coloured mark from about three-fourths costa. Hindiving with costal margin 



long, somewhat gibbous in proximal part, apex and anterior part of termen 

 straighter, near anal angle even faintly subconcave, abdominal margin relatively 

 short ; orange, with a large irregular patch at abdominal margin and part of 

 distal margin concolorous with forewing ; the boundary of this patch follows 

 the median vein from base almost to the origin of M', then runs approximately 

 parallel with abdominal margin for some distance, recedes to SM= before reach- 

 ing tornus, is ncarlj' 3 mm. from termen in its tornal part and ends before
