( 565 ) 



the primaries being marked by a few pale spots on the outer edge of the costa, 

 and having a narrow and very distinct subapical brown transverse line near the 

 extremity, defined inwardly by pale ochraceous. 



Expanse : 35 mm. 



This species seems to be near Stictoptera anthycdos Swinhoe, but does not agree 

 with his description. 



224. S. buruana sp. nov. 



cJ Palpi, front, head, and upperside of thorax and abdomen black ; lower side of 

 abdomen slightly paler. The primaries on the upperside are dark purplish grey, 

 clouded over the basal half and on the limbal area by black. The fringes are fuscous, 

 checkered with white. The hindwings are uniformly blackish, the fringes the same 

 colour, checkered uniformly with white. On the underside both wings are fuscous, 

 shading into blackish on the outer margins ; a few indistinct lines, corresponding in 

 location to those on the upper surface of the primaries appear on this side of the 

 wings. Female like the nude. 



Expanse : 30 mm. 



This appears to be a common species. The collection contains over twenty 

 specimens which do not vary in the least. 



225. S. paranthyala sp. nov. 



c?. Palpi brown; front, collar, and thorax dark brown ; upperside of the abdomen 

 fuscous ; lowerside of the thorax and abdomen ochraceous ; legs ochraceous. The 

 primaries are dark brown, crossed beyond the base by a pale brown band, somewhat 

 irregular on its outer margin, and diminishing in width from the costa to the inner 

 margin. This pale band is succeeded by a still broader band, which is parallel to it and 

 to the inner margin, and extends from the costa two-thitds of its length from the base, 

 gi'adually diminishing in width to the inner margin. Beyond this pale band is a dark, 

 blackish brown shade, followed by lighter lines and waving dark lines. The fringes are 

 uniformly dark fuscous, and crenulate. The hindwings on the ujiperside are 

 dark fuscous, the fringes pale fuscous. On the underside the wings are uniformly 

 pale fuscous, with a few paler marks on the costa and a quite distinct subapical 

 transverse whitish line, which runs from the costa as far as vein 6. The female 

 does not differ from the male. 



Expanse : 28 — 30 mm. 



This species appears to be common, the collection containing fourteen or fifteen 

 specimens which do not vary at all and are quite uniform in their markings.
