T. Mimeusemia fruhstorferi -p. nov. 



<?. UppersUle : black. Forewiug with the following cadmium-yellow markings: 

 at the base a small spot before the costal vein and another at the posterior margin ; 

 a snbtriangular patch in basal fourth stands between costal nervure and submediau 

 fold, a little dilated along costal and median nervures : a transverse band, standing 

 at right angles to the costal nervure, before middle of wing, extends from costa 

 to near snbmedian vein, broadest beyond cell (3i mm.), a little dilated at median 

 and costal nervnres, the black interspace between this band and the snbbasal patch 

 being almost separated into two spots ; a transverse, somewhat halfmoon-shaped 

 band in ajjical third, rounded exteriorly, sub-trisinuate at its discal edge, pointed 

 at both ends, expands between veins 2 and 10, with a breadth of 2\ mm. at vein 4 ; 

 at anal angle a small mark (diameters, 2 and li mm.), shaded with some black 

 scales. Fringe at apex of wing white. A curved line upon the discocellular 

 veinlets, two spots beyond submediau band, standing on vein 2 and liefore vein \b 

 respectively, an oblique line iu basal fourth crossing sulimedian ner\Tire, and two 

 small markings near base, composed of metallic Idue scales. 



Hindwing with the abdominal margin, the posterior portion of the exterior 

 margin as far as the submediau fold, and two large patches on the disc cadmium- 

 yellow. The marginal band has a width of Ij mm. (including fringe). The exterior 

 discal patch is oval, and expands between veins 2 and 8, having a length of 7 and 

 a width of 5 mm. ; at vein 7 it is indented, especially at the inner side ; at vein 6 

 it stands 5 mm. from the outer margin. The basi-discal patch is Ijand-like ; it has 

 at vein 8 a breadth of 3^ mm. and at its hinder end a breadth of 3 mm. ; the 

 anterior portion of the jiatch between costa and middle fold of cell is at right angles 

 to the subcostal nervure; from there the patch runs almost parallel to the abdominal 

 margin of the wing, and stops suddenly two mm. short of the yellow anal portion 

 of the exterior wing-margin ; at the median vein the patch is extended to the base. 

 Fringe at apex whitish buff. 



Underside : similar to the upperside, bat the yellow markings paler and more 

 extended, the black interspace between the snbbasal patch and the submediau band 

 divided at the median nervure ; the basi-discal patch of the hiudwing joined to the 

 yellow abdominal wing-margin, thus forming a large yellow area which includes 

 a black rounded spot at base of cell and an elongate black basal mark at vein lb. 



Head black, with a huffish white line at each side in front. Palpi black; first 

 joint white externally, second white internally, third with a few white scales on 

 the inner side. Antennae dorsally between tip and middle scaled white. Thorax 

 black, with three buffish white stripes; metathorax laterally with a tuft of cadmium- 

 yellow hairs. Each abdominal segment ringed with cadmium-yellow at apex, with 

 black at base ; ventrally the abdomen is cadmium-yellow, except the seventh 

 segment, which is black at base. Legs and underside of breast yellow : ujijicrside 

 of legs with black scales. 



Length : forewiug 25 mm., hindwing 19 mm.
