LOPHOSTETHUS. 



Lophostethus carteri sp. nov. 



This species is very closely allied to L. dmnoUnii (Latr.), bnt has some very 

 constant differences. 



In L. (Iiimolhiii, the large dark patch snrrounding the coll, and occupying 

 nearly one-third of the forewings, is dark blackish brown, only becoming grey on 

 the costa, while in L. carteri it is almost the same as the rest of the wings, being 

 only enclosed in a narrow black border. 



In L. (hnnoliiiii, the two pale transverse lines near the base of the forewings 

 are much closer together, and the onter one, which joins the central dark patch, is 

 much more zigzag than in L. carteri. 



In L. dumolinii, the large patch near the ceuti'e of the onter margin extends 

 inwards towards the central dark patch, which it almost joins, and across the jjale 

 transverse zigzag line which crosses the wings between the two jiatches ; while in 

 L. carteri it stops short near the submarginal border, so that the pale transverse line 

 is quite separate from both the dark patches. The large arrow-shaped stigma in 

 the cell in the L. curteri has a much shorter central projection than in L. dianolinii. 

 Thcjrindwinys of L. flnmoUnii are crossed by central transverse bands of ill-defiued 

 colour, wliile in L. carter/ they are wholly without markings, and of a uniform 

 brownish grey. 



On the under surface the differences are much more accentuated. In L. 

 dumolinii the uniler surface is brownish buff, with a distinct pale transverse curved 

 lino crossing both wings, and a dark brown patch near the centre of the costa, and 

 a similar one on the hindwings; while in L. carteri the costal patch is almost 

 obliterated, the transverse line ends halfway across the forewings, and on the hind- 

 wings it is (inite strsiight, while the brown patch is lengthened out into a curved 

 transverse line, wliich ends at the anal angle. The ground colour of the entire 

 insect is brownish grey, stnnigly snU'used with buff in L. dumolinii, while in L. 

 carteri it is dark slate grey, suffused with l)rownish grey, and the yellow admixture 

 is entirely wanting.
