between base and apex of R' a black line extending from costal to hinder margin, 

 an indistinct oblique line from apex of wing to R- and then cnrved to margin also • 



black ; interspaces in outer half of wing parti}' chestnut. Hindwing : black ; a 



narrow, nearly straight, deep chrome band produced basad at abdominal margin. 



Underside deep chocolate, extreme base of forewing, base and abdominal area of 

 hindwing deep chrome ; forewing from base to middle of disc and an outer marginal 

 band to both wings deeper in tone than rest of underside ; hindwing with three 

 lines, the second indistinct, the first, which stands just outside cell, very distinct. 



Length of forewing : 29 mm.

9. Xylophanes ockendeni spec. nov. 



(S. Body green above, a lateral stripe on head and pronotum clayish, pale pink 

 at base of antenna and behind eye, a short mesial stripe on mesonotuni pinkish clay 

 (discoloured ?) ; palpi (except apex), breast and sides of abdomen reddish ferruginous, 

 abdominal sternites pinkish ; external spur of midtibia a little shorter than inner. 



Wings, upperside. Forewing green like thorax, rather shorter than in 



rothsclnldi, with three black patches of 3 to 5 mm. diameter, one subbasal, the 

 second just beyond apex of cell, and the third at hinder margin proximally of angle ; 

 a small black stigma ; a thin black line from outerside of subbasal patch to costal 

 edge, cnrved, irregular ; an indistinct bar in middle of cell blackish green ; a faint 

 dentate line just distally of second patch followed by another indistinct line, both 

 deep green ; a more prominent somewhat crenate green line from hinder margin 

 beyond middle to costal margin, crossing R' midway between cell and distal margin, 

 curved costad in front, ending in a small black costal dot, the line bordered distally 

 by a green shadowy band which ends at the apex of the wing, the line curving away 

 from it near costal margin ; a vestigial crenate green submarginal line faintly 

 accentuated on the veins by some tiny dots ; a series of rather prominent marginal 



dots standing at the ends of the veins. Hindwing : brownish black, somewhat 



jjinkish buff posteriorly, an ill-defined pinkish band on disc ending posteriorly in a 

 clayish patch, distal edge bordered with green ; fringe pale, a black dot at the end 

 of each vein. 



Underside reddish ferruginous, irrorated with black ; both wings with 

 green dentate distal marginal band which is irrorated with black scales, the band 

 of the forewing being rather wider than in rothsclnldi. Forewing : brown- 

 black from base to middle, a slightly S-shaped blackish line on disc crossing R^ 

 at about one-third the way from the cell to the outer margin ; between this line 

 and apex of wing two short costal lines which end at the green distal marginal 

 border. Hindwing with a discal blackish line as on forewing. 



Tenth tergite truncate-sinuate, sternite triangular, acuminate, but not acute ; 

 clasper with about six friction-scales arranged in two rows ; harpe somewhat similar 

 to that of X. resta, convex on the side away from clasper ; penis-sheath with a 

 dentate lobe on the right side and a dentate ridge on the left, the ridge being much 

 more proximal than the lobe.
