289. Sirinopteryx nifivinctata Wlk. ab. interfuscata nov. 



In this example the cell of forewings and the interspaces between the veins 

 be3"ond the middle of hotli wings are neatly filled np wth fawn-colonred scales, 

 the veins themselves remaining broadly yellow : the fringe also is fawn-colonred 

 beyond the yellow basal line. This suffusion is rather more extensive in the left 

 forewing than in the right, whereas in the hindwings the reverse is the case. 

 Underside equally suffused with the upper. 



One ? from tlie Khasias, May 1896. 



An example of the common liumia crutne(jntu Linn., now in tlie Tring Museum, 

 affords another illustration of this individual development of coloration.

One (?, two ? ? ,from Warri, Uiver Niger, February 1890 (Dr. Roth). 



One of the ? ? has the sinus iu the forewings bilobed and shallow; the S and

 accidental difference.
