The hindwings of this c? are very largely developed on the inner side of the 

 fnrrow, forming a flap which is yellow above and below ; veins 3 and 4 are coincident 

 throughout, instead of being stalked. 



50. Ptychopoda piperata s)i. nov.

 space of the ground-colour reaching to outer line : outer line at three-fourths, 

 sliglitly waved, nearer hiudmargin on inner margin than on costa ; a faint pale 

 submarginal waved line, hardly distinguishable ; marginal line black, hroadly

 the sjmce between them dusted with dark grey ; submarginal line broad and pale 

 between two grey shades ; fringe pale, with distinct black spots at base beyond veins.
