obliqne outwards to near hindmargiti, sharply angled above vein 6, then straight 

 and ol)li(|ne to inner margin before middle ; in this lower eonrse it is double, the 

 outer arm darker and rnuning into the depressed apex, which is black ; the npper 

 part of outer line is followed by a chestnut costal blotch, beyond which the apex 

 itself is white, filled in with fascons speckles ; an aggregation of dark striae at anal 

 angle ; from costa a little before middle an oblique brown blotch is attenuated to 

 the middle of the angle of the onter line ; from inner margin just before outer 

 line an njiright line is dimly visible, seen through from the underside ; fringe and 

 marginal line below apex black, ochreons below middle. 



JIi)!f/iii7iffs ■■ (jnite different : a blackish mark close to base ; an obscure 

 double waved dark line before middle ; a dark ftiscons postmediau line angled on 

 vein 4, and followed by an ochreous line ; a similar ochreous submarginal line ; 

 the space between these two, of uniform width throughout, olive-ochreons, densely 

 dusted with blackish and divided by the ochreous veins into oblong patches : the 

 basal and nmrginal areas ochreous, speckled with black : fringe oclireous. 



Underside pale ochreons, speckled with fuscous ; the lines dark fuscous ; 

 forewings with a somewhat interrupted narrow submarginal fascia ; hindwings 

 with it broad. Face and palpi dark fuscous ; thorax and abdomen ochreons, speckled 

 with fnscons. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One (J from Dorei, Dutch New Guinea, June 1807 (Doherty). 



A peculiarly marked and elegant species : the apex of forewing is depressed 

 and subfalcate ; hindmargin sinuous, the anal angle rounded off. Hindwings with 

 slight tail at vein 4, crenulate above, nearly straight below. 



130. Azata costiguttata sp. nov. 



ForeiiimiA : greyish fawn-colour, with fine fnscons and blackish speckles, the 

 marginal third darker, being snffused except at apex witli olive-brown : the lines 

 olive-brown, thickened towards costa, bent below the subcostal vein, then oblique 

 and parallel inwards, at one-fourth, one-half, and two-thirds respectively ; the first 

 and second indistinct, the latter broadened at costa, the exterior darker, edged vrith 

 paler, and slightly tremulous ; followed on costa by a large brown triangle with 

 rounded apex, between veins 3 and 4 by a round black spot, and above inner margin 

 by a black cloud ; marginal line brownish, thicker along the excision, which is very 

 inconspicuous ; fringe pale ochreous, darker beyond the excision ; cell-spot blackisli. 



tlimhrimjs : similar, the base paler : no first line ; outer line distinct and 

 wavy : submarginal line indicated by a sinuous series of obscure blackish clouds. 



Underside yellow, with fulvous speckles ; the three lines fulvous, indistinct ; 

 the third followed by a broad brown fascia, which beyond cell and above anal angle 

 reaches to hindmargin, leaving paler spaces at middle and below apex : between 

 veins and 7 beyond the outer edge of this fascia is a paler yellowish oval space 

 containing some massed blackish scales towards margin. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen concolorous with wings ; the face and palpi slightly darker. 



Expanse of wings : 29 mm. 



One ? from Mikindani, German East Africa, January — May ]s07 (Reimer). 



Hindmargin of hindwings faintly crenulate in upjicr half. 



From the description Mabille's crassilembaria from Madagascar must largely 

 resemble this species, but in that the hindmargin of hindwings is said to bo 

 produced into an angle at middle.
