some whitish scaliug, antemediau baiul rose-piiik, eilged with white proximally, 

 placed as in iissamansis, ocelhis ochrc-yellow, encircled I)}' an extremely thin 

 pinkish hrown line, the proximal part of which is feebly bordered with white 

 distally : a very small linear hyaline centre ; a jiostdiscal black line eontiguons 

 with a white one of abont half the width, almost parallel to outer margin ; 

 anteriorly stopping at SC% 9 mm. from edge of wing at M-, 6i mm. at R' ; a 

 coiispienous bnt small black costal spot abont mm. from apex ; a snbmarginal 

 pink patch below apex, between SC^ and SC, ontwardly bordered by a broad 



brick-red line : onter edge clayish Imtf, fringe more cla3--colonr. Hindwiiig : 



ocellus as in assametisis, larger, its proximal portion black, outer portion ochre- 

 yellow, a white line in cell, about 3 mm. distant from black wing of ocellus, 

 continued to abdominal margin, heavily bordered with rose-red distally, this red 

 colour touching the ocellus ; a very faint orange band between ocellus and abdouiiniil 

 margin, being the continuation of a similar baud on the forewing, wliich touches 

 the ocellus of the forewing at the onter side : a black and white submarginal 

 line as on forewing, faintly bordered with pink proximally, terminating before 

 R', not curved towards base, almost quite straight, situated abont midway between 

 ocellus and outer margin, crossing M' 9 mm., SM- mm. from edge of wing, 

 the latter coloured as on forewing ; the marginal area outside the black and 

 white line orange on both wings, crossed by the yellow veins. 



Underside similar to assamcitsis, brighter in tint.

AGARISTIDAE. 

 5. Phalaenoides aequalis salomonis Rothsch., subsp. nov. 



? . Much larger than the pother forms of aequalis (dokertyi, coeruleotincta, 

 aequalis). 



Wiiigs, above. Forewing : white spot in cell minute, band rather wider 



than in dolierti/i, not concave proximally, indented upon M' distally, but R' and 



M' not wholly black ; discal and submarginal blue spots distinct. Hiudwing : 



the two white patches fused together, the central patch being enlarged basad. 



Underside. Forewing : cell-spot smaller, and band wider, than in dohertyi. 



Hindwing : central jjatch dilated basad, including a small black spot at 



proximal side of uj)per cross-vein ; blue discal spots C — M- large, except spots 

 R' — R'. White fringe of abdominal segments short above and below. 



Length of forewing : ¥ , 26 mm.

6. Phalaenoides fractus Rothsch., sp. nov. 



(J. Similar to aequalis, bnt differs as follows : — First and second segment 

 of jialpi white beneath, not yellow, third shorter than in aequalis ; underside 

 of abdomen not banded black, in S long hairs at apex of 8th segment, and 

 extreme base and tij) of claspers black not orange, claspers clayish ochreous, 

 the harpe less curved than in aequalis. 



Forewing : band more curved than in aequalis dohertyi ; all the veins traversing 

 it black, last partition the longest, blue discal spots mnch more distal than in 

 aequalis, the series consisting of only 'i to 5 dots, which stand midway between
