Underside pinkish ochreous, with dark eel l-sjicits and snbmargiuul bands ; the 

 cell-sj)ot of forewiiig large and ocelloid, of hindwing slight ; the band in forewing 

 twice as wide as in hindwing, and extended to margin between veins 4 and 7 ; 

 costa of forewing with distinct black striae ; both wings speckled with dark, 

 the forewing with a dark clond in and below cell. 



Palpi dark fnscous ; face, vertex, and thorax recUlish brown ; abdomen 

 ciiiereons, with whitish basal belt and ochreons anal tnft ; nnderside of abdomen 

 and legs ochreons ; tarsi blackish with ochreons joints. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



2 dd from Hnancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Pern, 6000—10,000 ft. (Bottger). 



Nearest /. huamharia Oberth., from which it is separated by the alternate 

 grey and reddish bands, and by the ochreons nndersurface ; the whitish belt 

 at base of hindwing is less conspicnons, and is not produced, as in huamharia^ 

 on to the median area of the forewing. 



134. Iridopsis striata spec, no v. 



Foiru'imj : pale grey, covered throughont with obscure darker gre}' suft'iision, 

 mixed in places with pale olive-brown ; all the markings indistinct ; a double 

 basal line, the arms well separate, angled in cell, then oblique inwards; a similarly 

 double median line, the inner arm touching a large diffuse cell-spot ; outer line 

 at three-fourths, black and waved to . vein 5, there angled and running obliquely 

 to just beyond middle of inner margin, closely approximated to median line ; 

 on the costa it is followed by a fulvous patch and apparently another line ; sub- ■ 

 marginal line pale, waved, followed by a dark shade ; marginal spots and festoon 

 black ; fringe pale with dark mottling. 



Hindwing : with basal half whitish ; a double dark antemedian line, black 

 cell-spot, and dark postmedian line, marked blacker on the veins; the rest as in 

 forewing. 



Underside whitish, speckled with grey, darker in the forewing ; costa ochreous 

 with numerous black striae ; a dull blackish apical cloud, leaving the apex itself 

 white ; cloudy dark cell-spots on both wings. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen grey varied with darker ; base of abdomen with 

 a black ring ; second segment with a pair of black spots ; the others black on 

 dorsum ; foretarsi black with pale joints. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



1 c? from Caradoc, Marcapata, Peru, 4000 ft., February 1901 (Ockenden). 



The hindmargin of hindwing is very deeply dentate. 



135. Iridopsis schistacea ab. radiata nov. 



Diiferiug from the type form as follows : the outer line, instead of rising 

 at three-fourths of costa, starts at three-fifths, and is not angled outwards at vein 6, 

 but curves at once and runs obliquely inwards to the submedian fold, where it almost 

 touches the inner line, reaching the inner margin well before the middle ; on the 

 costa between the two lines are two distinct black spots, one representing the 

 median shade which is crowded out below, the other joining the cell-spot, which 

 is close to outer line ; the rusty shade preceding the inner and following the 

 outer line is much broader than in the type form ; the marginal black spots are 

 produced inwards as bars between the veins, those below middle short, those above
