23. Oenochroma pallida sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale olive-ochreons ; the costa yellowish, with red-brown strigae; 

 a paler straight oblique line from costa just before apex to three-fifths of inner 

 margin: a short red marginal streak from apex to vein 7; fringe concolorous, tinged 

 with reddish, and with a red fleck at apex and vein 7: cell-spot snow-white, 

 semihyaline, with a red ring. 



Ilinil wings : with the pale line central; the costal region pearly silvery; a red 

 blotch between veins 6 and 7 at their rise, partially extending to costa; fringe rosy 

 fulvous. 



Underside paler, creamy ochreous, without the olive tinge; costa marked with 

 dull red; oblique line marked by red spots on veins, and a bright roundish purple 

 blotch between veins 1 and 3: hindwings with a figure of 8 blotch at two-thirds of

24. Celerena signata sji. nov. 



Allied to C. divisa Wlk.; differing in the following points : the costal grey 

 streak is widened before the dark middle streak, which is angled in the lower part 

 of cell and partially bracket-shaped, the lower arm below the angnlation being 

 s-shaped and reaching to the submedian vein: the discocellular, which is well 

 beyond the first dark line, is marked with an indistinct dark spot; the dark grey 

 coloration occupies almost the marginal half of the wing, and is edged with a 

 diffused blackish shade, slightly indented by the yellow ground-colour at the veins ; 

 in the hindwings the black edging of the grey marginal area is narrower and more 

 concise. On the underside of forewings the first line is represented by a diffuse 

 dark costal blotch reaching into the cell, and the discocellular is marked by a 

 distinct black spot; the dark marginal area on both wings is darker grey, witii 

 diffuse cloudy black edging. 



Expanse of wings : 72 — 78 mm.
