266. R. palpalis (Walker). I.e. XXXIV. p. 1180. 



267. R. costiplaga sp. nov. 



S. Palpi, head, and collar dark brown, the upperside of the thorax and the 

 abdomen of the same colour as the wings ; the abdomen at the extremity has some 

 whitish hairs ; on the underside the thorax and abdomen are a little paler ; legs 

 concolorous. The primaries and the secondaries on the upperside are dark puqjlish 

 grey, with a few minute pale dots and lines, suggesting a transverse median and sub- 

 marginal series. On the costa of the primaries, beyond the end of the cell and also at 

 the apex, are black subtriangular spots. On the underside both wings are fuscous, 

 and both are marked in the cell by two minute white spots defined on both sides by 

 blackish lines. 



Expanse : 25 mm. 



This species appears to be quite common.

271. A. albapicata sp. nov. 



cJ. Palpi, head, and collar blackish; upperside of thorax brown sprinkled with 

 grey ; upperside of abdomen blackish, abdomen on the lowerside pale brown ; there 

 are some whitish hairs at the tip of the abdomen ; legs brown, marked with white 

 lines at the joints. The jjrimaries and secondaries on the upperside are dark brown \ 

 there is a fine whitish curved basal line and a small white spot beyond it in the cell 

 and a large oval white sjwt at the end of the cell ; beyond the cell is a curved and 

 zigzag fine whitish line, followed by a similar submarginal line, most distinct at the 

 apex ; between this submarginal line and the margin below the apex is a large 

 irregular white spot, succeeded by four small marginal points; the fringes are brown, 

 of the same colour as the body of the wing, checkered with white, the spots of the 

 fringe being most conspicuous in immediate proximity to the large white subapical 

 spot. The secondaries are crossed by zigzag median and submarginal lines ; there 

 are traces of a zigzag marginal line between veins 4 and 5 ; the fringes of the 

 secondaries are checkered like the fringes of the primaries, but less conspicuously. 

 On the underside both wings are greyish, the light spots and markings of the upper- 

 side reappear on this side with the exception of the large white spot at the end of the 

 cell of the primaries, which is not indicated. All these light transverse lines on the 

 underside are defined internally by dark brown shades. The female is like the nude, 

 but somewhat paler. 



Exjjanse : 40 mm.

?. The body of this species is like that of the preceding sjiecies. The primaries 

 on the upperside are dark brown, with some obscure lighter transverse lines ; the- 

 base is broadly chalky white, and there is a small subtriangular chalky white spot at 

 the apex. The secondaries on the upperside are uniformly jiale fuscous. On' the
