Foretcing : olive-green ; crossed by three cream-coloured black-edged narrow 

 bands, much as in chlamydaria H. S. ; the first slightly curved, the second straight, 

 nearer the first than the third ; the third sinuous, and with a red central line ; the 

 black edges are also finely edged with red ; costa cream-coloured, edged below by 

 red scales above black ones ; fringe cream-coloured beyond a black marginal line. 



Jlimlivinq : with the upper half of wing to median vein pale ; inner margin 

 below vein 2 and apex to vein 6 blackish : a white streak from vein 2 curving into 

 anal angle, with black edges and a red line, almost hidden below vein 1 by the 

 black sutiasion ; marginal space beyond olive-green ; marginal line black ; fringe 

 cream-colour tipped with rosy.

 tuft ; anal tufts olive, blackish above, red beneath ; first joint of paliji, pectus, and

Expanse of wings : 48 mm. 



2 Si from Hnaucabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Pern, 6000 to 10,000 ft. (Bottger). 



Inner margin of forewing strongly rounded in basal half ; the apex of both 

 wings falcate. 



70. Triphosa ochricostata spec. nov. 



Forewing : grey-brown, with a reddish tint in places ; the costal area broadly 

 pale ochreous, its lower edge starting from inner margin at one-sixth ; it is 

 interrupted at two-thirds of costa by the lines forming the outer edge of central 

 fascia, beyond which it forms a broad apical blotch reaching vein 6, bounded 

 exteriorly by an oblique tint from apex ; basal patch dark grey, the limiting lines 

 ending on inner margin within the pale area ; inner band of central fascia dark 

 brown, limited by two lines, leaving inner margin before middle and interrupted at 

 vein 6 ; outer band formed of four wavy lines, the outer edge lunulate and angled 

 at vein 6 ; submarginal line denoted in lower half of wing by ochreous spots 

 between the veins, with a brown shade preceding them ; a row of brown marginal 

 lunnles ; fringe brown. The lines are all obsoletely marked on the costal streak.

1 6 from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Peru, 6000 to 10,000 ft. (Bottger). 



The single example is rather worn ; it is probable that in fresher sijecimens 

 the markings will be found to be much more distinct. 



71. Triphosa uniplaga spec. nov. 



Forewing ; dark smoky grey, with the lines and shading black, separated by 



grey lines which form pale dashes on the veins ; all the lines wavy, and marked 



more distinctly on the costal edge, where the black shadings are more intense and 



the grey intervals whiter ; cell-spot oval, black in a pale grey or whitish ring ;
