15. Milionia dysphanioides sp. nov. 



cJ. Forew-inrj : shaped as in j¥. eletjans, Nov. Zool. 189.5. t. vii. f. 1; 

 purplish black, but without any metallic sheen ; a large oblique grej'ish white patch 

 is situated in the basal fourth, and extends from inner margin to median nervure, 

 and is broadest in front of vein \b; at apical half of cell there is an oblique greyish 

 white band extending from the costa to submedian fold, and split up into three 

 spots by the nervures ; another bandlike spot near inner angle between veins 1 and 3 ; 

 a subapical band consists of three spots, two close together near costa, and one between 

 veins 3 and 4, near outer margin. 



Hinrhuing : deeper black, with the following cadmium-yellow markings : at basal 

 third a band extends from the abdominal margin across the wing to near apex of cell, 

 stopping at middle fold of cell ; then a second narrower from abdominal margin close 

 to anal angle to vein 3 ; lastly two large spots between veins 3 and 6, nearer to 

 the margin. 



Underside : markings more extended, and on underwing the two subapical spots 

 coalesce with second band. 



Abdomen cadmium-yellow, except first segment, which, like rest of body, is black, 

 as are four small round spots on each side of abdomen. 



? only differs from male in the broader wings, the first band of hindwing 

 above being indistinct ; below in not having the second band joined to confluent 

 subapical spots, and in having the middle segments of abdomen black. 



Expanse slightly smaller than in M. elegans Kothsch.

16. Milionia flaviventris sp. nov. 



S. Forewiitg : black, but most of the wing occupied by orange-red, leaWng 

 a broad black band along inner margin from base to near inner angle, where a 

 small black patch between veins 16 and 2 is joined to it at right angles ; the hand 

 is 3 mm. broad in centre, and tapers off to each end ; the apical region is also 

 black, 10 mm. broad at costal margin, and gradually narrowing to vein 2 ; a black 

 patch 7 mm. long and 3i wide reaches obliquely from middle of costal margin to a 

 little beyond the cell ; costal margin narrowly black. 



Hindwing : entirely black. 



Underside: as above ; retinaculum black. 



Thorax yellowish brown ; abdomen yellow ; head, underside of thorax, and legs 

 sooty black.
