6. Omithospila succincta spec. ncv. 



o $, 38-40 mm. Very similar to cincta Walk. S antenna with similar 

 (rather short) pectinations, which, however, are continued a little farther 

 distally. Palpus on outer side sometimes with some weak green admixture ; in

Forewing of the same green as in cincta ; costal edge more narrowly dark- 

 ened and with some whitish admip^turc ; dark yellow-green lines and cell- 

 mark as in cincta ; distal border redder, narrower, scarcely more than a line, 

 which thickens slightly between the veins ; fringe distally and at vein-ends 



whitish. Hindwing on an average more elongate towards tomus than in 



cincta ; termen as on forewing ; fringe narrowly white proximally between the 

 veins from SC- to SM-. 



Government Hill, Penang, 1,000 ft., May 19-24, 1898 (Curtis), type and

7. Gelasma auspicata spec. nov. 



(J, 32 mm. Face and palpus dark red, the latter strongly mixed with black, 

 its underside whitish. Vertex and antennal shaft whitish ochreous ; antenna 

 pectinate to the 30th joint. Occiput and upperside of thorax green ; thorax 

 beneath and most of abdomen whitish ochreous. 



Forewing with apex rather acute, termen nearly straight, but not quite so 

 straight as in veninotata Warr. ; opaque grey-green, very slightly greyer at the 

 position of the blotch of underside ; costal edge ochreous, irregularly dotted 

 with dark purple-red ; lines verj' fine, lunula te-dentate, whitish, with cleaner 

 white dots on some of the veins ; antemedian from about one-fourth costa to 

 one-third hindmargin, in the type very indistinct ; postmedian at just beyond 

 two-thirds, with deeper lunule inward between M* and SM- ; a small and faint 

 dark-green cell-dot ; terminal line daik purple-red, interiupted bj- small pale 

 ochreous dots at the veins ; fringe pale ochreous, with conspicuous dark-red 



spots opposite the veins and with a slight reddish darkening distally. Hindwing 



quadi'ate (section Thulerura), but with the tail at R^ shorter than in veninotata ; 

 as forewing except in the unmarked costa and lack of first line and in the elcnga- 

 tion of the discal mark. 



Underside paler, especially the hindwing and posterior part of forewing ; 

 forewing with the ochreous costal edge unspotted, terminal line slightly 

 thickened, a purple-fuscous terminal blotch of about 2 mm. width from tomus 

 about to R' and some slight strigulae anteriorly ; hindwing with corresponding 

 blotch from apex about to R- and some strigulae posteriorly. 



Khasis. Type in coll. Tring Museum ; paratype in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Differs from veninotata in shape, in the red terminal line and the more 

 strongly spotted fringes.
