125. Chogada epistictis Me.\ r. ub. flavifasciata nuv. 



Among several examples of this species from St. Aignan, collected by A. S. 

 Meek betweeu August and November 189T, many of them considerably below the 

 average size, there occurs one which differs so much from any forms hitherto 

 distinguished, that I here describe it. Both wings with basal two-fifths whitisli, 

 with i)ale grey dusting; the outer three-fifths suffused with smoky grey and 

 dusted with blackish ; cell-spot blurred ; only the exterior line distinct ; this is 

 followed by a lichen-yellow band : and a spot of the same colour lies on vein C 

 towards the hiudraargin beyond the snbmarginal line. 



The specimen is a ? . 



126. Chogada munda sp. nov. 



Foretcings : white, sparsely speckled with fuscous scales, more thickly striated 

 along costa and in the a{)ical region ; the lines fuscous ; first from one-fourth of 

 costa curved to one-fifth of inner margin ; outer line thick, luuulate-dentate, from 

 three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, bent outwards slightly beyond 

 cell ; a row of fuscous marginal spots ; fringe white. 



Hindwings : with a broad dark line close to base, and a postmedian sinuous 

 line ; cell-spot ocelloid, white, with fuscous edge. 



Underside like upper. Head, thorax, and abdomen white, dusted with fiiscous ; 

 tip of metathorax and basal segment of abdomen marked with dark fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 48 mm. 



One ? from Eduknmbaan Hills, Zulnland, May 1895. 



The sole example is considerably wasted, but appears (piite distinct from any 

 described species ; the forewiugs probably have a discal spot like that of hindwings, 

 when fresh. 



127. Darisa adamata.

The neuration in the forewings of this species is variable. Vein 10 sometimes 

 anastomoses with the costal, at other times not. In one ? the right wing shows it as 

 anastomosing, but no sign of 11 ; in the left wing, however, after the anastomosis, 

 vein 11 is seen separating from 12. In either case it might be said that 10 and 11 

 were coincident and anastomosed with 12, 11 sometimes remaining coincident with 

 12. But in many cases vein 10 does not anastomose with 12 at all, and vein 11 is 

 seen rising out of 12. It therefore seems preferable to refer the species to the genus 

 Darisa, belonging to the Medasina group. 



128. Deileptenia maculata sp. uov. 



Forewings : brownisli ochreous, speckled with blackish ; the lines black ; first 

 at one-third, doulile, irregularly waved and slightly obliipie inwards, tlie included 

 space tinged with rufous ; second at two-thirds, also double, forming a strong narrow 

 projection outwards between veins 5 and 6, then strongly incurved to just beyond 

 middle of inner margin, the included space rufous, marked with a deeper cloud just 

 below costa, and by a large black blotch between veins 3 and 5 ; submargiual line
