lii. Crinala mimetica Ivotli.soii. sji. nov. 



Mai,e. — Uiqjersiile : fon-niiigs lilacki^li luowii, witli the usual Mue spots in cell 

 and on disrocellular?. All the discoidal and median nervules, and tiie sul)co>tal, are 

 white from the cell to alxjut half their length: there is a white streak un the sub- 

 median fold, and another on the sulniiedian vein. These streaks form a liand similar 

 to that of .l/((.ssc^/i( moilteirona liutl. and /'Acs/*- nulian-i (Feld.) ; tiiis resemhlanee 

 induces me to call the insect mimetica, thougli, of course, it is not a case of so-called 

 '• mimicry." Hindwiugs dark brown, with a distinct velvety black gloss produced by 

 long hairs. There are some very faint submarginal white lines on the nervures, and 

 the fringes of lx)th jiairs of wings are white, slightly s])riiikled with black scales, 

 mostly on the front wings. 



Underside: forewings chocolate-brown, willi faint traces only of white scales on 

 the nervules. Hindwings as above. 



Hinder edge of head, collar, palja, e.xcept third joint, all co.xac. four anterior 

 femora, underside of anterior tibiae and of abdomen orange; rest of body bluish black. 

 Expanse : forewing AM 20 mm. ; K.M 17 mm. ; PM 20 mm.

Crinocula .lord. gen. nov. 



(J ?. l'ali>i hairy; hairs of third joint, which is about half as long again as 

 broad, spai'se and shorter. Eyes clothed with hairs, l-'orehead devoid of a conical 

 processus. Femora anil abdomen, especially beneath, rough with long hairs. 



Neuration : forewings with minute ai-eole; vein 3 close to 4 ; second partition of 

 median nervure shorter than the respective portion of outer margin. Hindwings with 

 second partition of median nervure scarcely as long as the lower discoeellular veinlet, 

 which is slightly longer than the upper one and is more oblique; veins 3 and 4 

 from angle of cell. 



Type : Crinocnla kinabaiuensis Kothsch. sp. now 



Distinguished from all Agaristids known to me bv the hairv eyes. K. ,1. 



13. Crinocula kinabaiuensis Rothsch. sp. nov. 



M.\LE and VFMAhE.—Upperside: forewings black, with very faint indications of 

 the usual blue spots. A very narrow oblique band of cream-colour crosses the forewing 

 just outside cell from the costal vein to the lower median nervure. Hindwings black, 

 with a large discal rufous orange patch extending from about centre of cell to half- 

 way between cell and outer margin, and from abdominal margin to near costal \ein ; 

 this patch is rounded anteriorly, and emarginate behind lower median vein. 



Underside as above, but band of forewings extends farther and is half as wide 

 again, and at the base are white scales and retinaculum is yellow, while discal ]iatch 

 of hindn-ings extends to the liase. where it is paler, and reaches anteriorly from the 

 base to middle of costa. 



L'pperside of head and thorax black, with many grev hairs. I'alpi whitish, as 

 also a ring round eyes. Hest of body below yellow, including legs. Abdomen above 

 darker yellow, with black middle line. Claspers of S entirelv black.
