( 583 ) 



is a small triangular white spot on the thorax just before the abdomen ; the abdomen 

 black, each segment lightly margined with pale grey ; a bunch of orange yellow hairs 

 at the anal extremity ; legs grey, the last pair having the femur margined with white 

 and the ends of the tibiae whitish. The primaries on the upperside are black, 

 showing a bluish green iridescence in certain lights ; at the base are three orange 

 yellow spots succeeded between veins 1 and 2 by two equidistant subtriangular white 

 spots with their apices pointing toward each other; above the outermost of these 

 spots is a large round white spot, and beyond these two spots the outer margin has 

 the course of the nervules defined by fine white lines, which show conspicuously upon 

 the darker ground. The secondaries on the upperside are black, with a large 

 irregular oval white spot filling the middle of the wing. On the lowerside the 

 primaries are blackish, the large round spot at the end of the cell and the sub- 

 triangular spot below it, between veins 1 and 2, being reproduced, but less sharply 

 defined. There are some white rays near the apex. The secondaries on the under- 

 side are as on the upperside, but in addition the nervules near the outer angle are 

 margined with white. The fringes on the secondaries are whitish near the outer 

 angle. The fringes of the primaries are black. The female quite like the male. 



Expanse : 37 — 43 mm. 



Described from five specimens. 



This species somewhat resembles Viteasa toniatica Lederer, but is manifestly 

 distinct.

?. This insect is uniformly rosy red, paler on the hindwings than on the fore- 

 wings. The primaries have a fine white line closing the end of the cell, followed by 

 a, transverse discal fine white line running at right angles from the costa as far as 

 vein 5, and then making an obtuse angle, running parallel to the outer margin to 

 the inner margin, which it reaches a little beyond its middle. On the underside 

 both wings are a trifle paler than in the upperside, and only the white mark at 

 the end of the cell of the primaries and the costal portion of the transverse limbal 

 line are faintly indicated. 



Expanse : 38 mm.
