Hindwings : witli basal area lilac-grey, (lusted with Mack scales; an ante- 

 inediaii black line, concave outwards in cell before the discal spot, and more or less 

 obsolete below the median vein ; discocellular marked with a black line, the pale 

 centre occupj'ing only the upper half; outer line from four-tifths of costa, below 

 which it is curved, to three-fom-ths of inner margin, almost straight, not denticulate, 

 followed by a diffuse olive-green shade; submarginal and marginal lines and fringe as 

 in forewings; the whole of the median area between the two lines suffused with olive- 

 green ; this suffusion, in the forewings, is confined apparently to the subcostal area. 



Underside pale lilac-grey ; the costal area of forewings broadly brick-red, through 

 which the median and outer lines are mai-ked with black. 



Head and antennae dull red-brown ; thorax and alxlomen jiale lilac-grey. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



Two c?c? from Yakusu, Upper Congo (K. Smith); one much worn, dated July, 

 the other in fair condition, taken in May 190U; it seems probable that in quite fresh 

 specimens the green suffusion will be found more pronounced. 



. 33. Pisoraca inaequalis sp. nov. 



c?. Foi'eivinr)s : olive-grey, covered with fine rufous striae; the costa brighter 

 rufous ; basal line not indicated ; cell-spot very faint, a pale dot edged with rufous ; 

 a dark fuscous olive median shade at two-thirds, faint and incurved towards costa, 

 below vein 6 thicker and parallel to hindmargin ; the space beyond, except at costa, 

 sufifusedly darker ; a row of small dark red intraneural dots just before margin, and 

 traces of a submarginal row of reddish blotches on veins, beginning below apex, both 

 series most distinct towards costa ; between the median shade and the submarginal 

 line there is just discernible a row of minute dark dots on veins, representing the 

 outer line ; fringe deep vinous red, paler externally. 



Hindwings: with distinct white red-edged cell-spot, fijUowed by the thick 

 central shade ; fringe as in forewings; no other markings except two or three sub- 

 terminal dots below apex. 



Underside pale ochreous, olive-tinged; the fringes bright vinous; forewing 

 tinged with ochraceous and towards hindmargin with rufous, and marked with a faint 

 central line. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous, pink-tinged ; face brown above ; 

 vertex and base of antennae deep vinous. 



?. Forewings: thickly striated and suffused with tawny, the markings blackish 

 brown; first line indicated by spots of this colour on the veins; cell-spot pale, edged 

 with dark; in the place of the series of vein-dots and the reddish blotches of the 

 c?, three curved series of blackish blotches, the first incurved towards costa, like the 

 median shade of the cJ, of whicli only very faint traces are seen in the ?, chiefly 

 on inner margin ; the blotches of the first and third of these rows are on the veins, 

 those of the middle one, which is not discernible at all in the cJ, between the veins; 

 all three series are interrupted by the tawny ground-colour between veins 3 and 4; 

 fringe tawny like wings, preceded by a distinct row of subterminal diu-k spots. 



Jlindvjings: darker tawny, with all the markings repeated; the blotches of 

 the innermost series, rejiresenting outer line, not interrupted. 



Underside of both wings pale ochraceous, the markings hardly visible, and t he 

 fringe concolorous. Head, thorax, and abdomen tinged with browniish tawny instead 

 of reddish; but the vertex, base of antennae, Jind base of costa reddish as in the cj . 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm.
