Wings above black, reddish pnrple in side-light. Forewing : outer margin 



longer than in the preceding species, the wing more elongate, a yellow, irregnlar, 

 oblique band from SG^ to middle of internal margin, Sh mm. broad behind, shallowly 

 excavated in cell, rather deeply biconcave outwardly, between costal end of band 



and R^, and again between R^ and SM-. Hindwing : triangular, outer margin 



strongly oblique, yellow band continued to abdominal margin ; band outwardly 

 again biconcave, base purplish black. 



Unde)-side, as above, band very little wider. 



?. Like 3. 



Veins SC^ and SO^ (or SC and SG^ ?) of forewing absent from S , SC' present 

 in ? ; R', R-, R' from cell : R' of hindwing absent from both sexes, R' and M' 

 rather widely separate. 



Length of forewing : J, Hi mm., ¥, lU mm.

15. Caprima dohertyi Rothsch., sp. nov. 



? . Bodij above purplish black ; face, collar, underside of the abdomen, 

 especially at the apex, femora and tibiae, especially the posterior ones, creamy, with 

 an opalescent gloss. 



Wings abate puri^lish black. Forewing : a large yellow patch from S(' to 



internal margin, 6i mm. broad before SM", its outer edge straight in middle, slightly 

 oblique ; a second, ferruginous red, patch, or rather band, from costal margin, which 

 it does not touch, to SM', tapering behind, somewhat widened basad in upper angle 

 of cell, hence broadest between R' and R^ inner edge of this band straight from R^ 

 to SM", at right angles to the veins, outer edge strongly rounded in costal region, 



then nearly straight, veins within band black, except base of R'. Hindwing : 



yellow area of forewing continued to abdominal margin, the extreme edge of the 

 margin and the base remaining black, the yellow patch rounded behind, somewhat 

 angled upon SM', distally straight, faintly concave before R', black outer area 

 gradually decreasing in width abdominad, 4 mm. broad in front. 



Underside similar to upperside, the patches slightly paler ; hindwing with 

 a greenish plumbeous patch of 3 mm. length between costal margin aud SC^ in 

 apical angle. 



Length of forewing : ? , 16 mm.

i. Bod)) above black, very slightly glossy, neck, anterior edge of mcsothorax 

 and some scales upon centre of same, and the underside yellow, bases of abdominal 

 segments purplish black ; antennae purple, but proximal and distal sides of 

 branches buff. 



Wings above black, not glossy, marked with orange ochraceons. Forewing : 



basal half orange yellow, this area extending to near base of M", but costal and 

 internal edges and vein M black, the black colour of internal margin reaching SM' 

 at base for a distance of 4 or 5 mm., the yellow area consisting of two large ]iar- 

 titions, one in cell, the other beyond, the latter rounded oil distally. Hindwing :
