( 507 ) 



vein-dots ; the outer line is swollen into a red-brown blotch between veins 3 and 4, and 

 between veins 2 and 3 into a snow-white larger blotch edged with dark red-brown ; 

 cell-spot black, edged with red ; some slight red marks on margin between the 

 veins, clearer towards costa ; fringe pale green, with a red spot at apex. 



Hindwing : similar, but without first line ; the outer line with the white blotch 

 only, and that smaller. 



Underside pale green ; without markings, except the red marginal spots in the 

 upper half of forewiiig ; costa of forewing yellowisji ; the two white blotches sliowing 

 through. 



Palpi greenish white below, reddish externally and above ; face, vertex, thorax, 

 and abdomen green ; fillet white ; anal segment and underside of abdomen and the 

 legs white. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



1 ? from St. Lucia, West Indies, July 1903 (Branch). 



iSmaller than the other species, but otherwise agreeing. 



32. Tachyphyle aeretincta spec. nov. 



Forewing : olive-green shot with bronzy fulvous, this tint strongest in cell ; 

 costa from middle to apex white, broadening outwards ; the basal half of costa, a 

 subcostal streak beneath the white edge, and the apex deep sea-green ; from three- 

 fourths of inner margin a pale bluish green streak curves into apex, which it does 

 not quite reach, the ground colour in front of it rather deeper ; an inner line is faintly 

 visible, chiefly on inner margin : cell-spot black ; fringe blnish white. 



Hindwing : with the bluish green streak straight, just beyond the middle ; 

 cell-spot black ; costal area white. 



Underside j)aler, dull green, the cell of forewing bright fulvous; hindwing with 

 costal half paler; a dark blotch on inner margin to cell-spot. 



Face, palpi, verte.x, and base of antennae white ; thorax green ; abdomen 

 yellowish green. 



Expanse of wings : 27 mm. 



1 c? from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, 6000 ft., March 1902, wet 

 season (Ockenden). 



The apex of forewing is falcate. 



Subfamily STERRHINAE. 

 33. Anisodes decorata spec. nov. 



Forewing : pale yellow, with a faint olive tinge, thickly dusted with brick-red 

 atoms ; the red atoms thickened and confluent along costa ; the lines red ; first at 

 one-fourth, thickened and rather squarely projecting above and below median ; 

 median line rather beyond middle, distinct and strongly lunnlate-dentate ; cell-spot 

 minute, snow-white, with a fine black edge set in a rnst-red ring ; outer line at three- 

 fourths, nearly straight, slightly dentate outward on veins, incurved towards costa, 

 preceded by a band of yellow ground-colour and followed by an irregular line of 

 wedge-shaped marks, those at costa, beyond cell, and on submedian fold filled up 

 with red ; submarginal line similarly sharply lunulate ; marginal spots black between 

 the veins ; fringe yellow, spotted with red beyond the veins. 



Hindwing : similar.
