50. Bnrsada conjunctiva siicc. nov. 



Foreiving : yellow; the costa and liindmargiu black; this last wider at apex 

 and gradnally narrowing, with waved edge, to anal angle ; two broad black fasciae ; 

 the first from one-sixth of costal streak, which it touches at a point, its inner edge 

 vertical, its outer obliij^ue ; the second from two-thirds of costa, its outer edge bluntly 

 elbowed outwards on vein 3, to inner margin close before anal angle, its inner edge 

 rounded and running into the outer edge of the basal fascia on vein 1. 



Ifintlwimi : yellow, with a blotch at base ; the costa and hindniargin black, the 

 latter narrowing off to anal angle; a right-angled black mark at middle of inner 

 margin, the upright arm reaching origin of vein 3, pointing towards a black Ijlotcli 

 depending from costal streak half-way across the discocellular. 



Underside like upper. 



Face, palpi, throat, sides of thorax, and abdomen beneath and at sides yellow ; 

 vertex, antennae, thorax, and dorsum blackish ; legs yellow and blackish. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



1 ? from Obi Major (Waterstradt). 



A local form of tric/ncfar/n Linn. 



ol. Bursada dependens spec. nov. 



Close to B. excellens Butler, of which it is evidently a different insular form. 



The forewing is practically the same as in that species ; the transverse central 

 fascia is however thicker and with straighter edges ; the hindwing in the <? also 

 agrees in most points with I'j-ceUrnis, but there is no discal s\ioi in the cell, and the 

 dark costal blotch, which is generally, but not always, united with the marginal 

 border, has its lower edge rounded ; in two of the iS there is a small dark spot 

 on the inner margin above the anal angle ; in the only ? seen this spot is develojicd 

 into a long club-shaped mark reaching lower end of cell, towards which the costal 

 spot above is produced, so as to form a crossbar, only interrupted by half the width 

 of the cell. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm.

52. Bursada restricta spec. nov. 



This is also another form of e.ayllens liutlcr, differing in several points from 

 both it and tlie foregoing species drpenJcns. 



Foreiring : costa evenly brown-black throughout ; in the other two species the 

 yellow areas touch the costa ; the outer yellow fascia has lost the form of an " eagle's 

 beak " as described by Butler, and become an oval blotch with evenly curved sides 

 and pointed lower end, not reaching below vein 1, and edged above by the costal 

 streak. 



Hindaing : with the inner edge of the broad marginal border evenly curved 

 (in thpenih'ns it is always more or less broken and angled), ending on costa at 

 middle (in dependent the costal dark area roaches to one-third from base) in 

 a narrow square-edged projection instead of the rounded and bulged ending 

 of dependens. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm.
