2nd line f costa to anal angle, with an oblong attenuated spot on 

 costa, a second rhomboid spot almost touching, and a minute dot 

 close to hindmargin at \ ; a black red spot in apex of wing ; a 

 terminal hindmarginal black-red line, expanded into dots on 

 veins : cilia reddish-ochreous, with reddish dots and a black red 

 spot at §. Hindwings coloured as forewings ; a broad ochreous 

 line from apex of costa to f hindmargin, bordered externally by 

 a black-red line, broadened at apical angle into an elongated 

 spot, into another elongated line or succession of dots just before 

 hindmargin ; a hindmarginal black-red line, in some interrupted, 

 and bordering but separated from a black-red angular spot at 

 vein 4, in some specimens diffused over anal angle and extending 

 round inner margin, in others more or less absent ; cilia ochreous 

 with black-red dots opposite spots, on inner margin whitish- 

 ochreous, anal half reddish-brown.

This differs from A. lyccenaria in the fascia being narrow, 

 differently distributed, and in the absence of the broad band on 

 hindmargin. It is also allied to A. ketata, Fab. 



Hypochroma aurantiacea, sp.nov. 



(J. 40 mm. Palpi blackish-grey. Antenna? dark grey. Head 

 grey. Thorax grey, with darker spot in centre anteriorly. 

 Abdomen blue-grey, with short black lines on either side of dorsum 

 on each segment, yellow laterally, yellow on underside. Fore- 

 wings with costa nearly straight, hindmargin gently rounded, blue- 

 grey with darker grey, smoky and black scales and suffusions ; 

 lines black, a waved line close in to base ; a diffused line at \ inner 

 margin becoming obscure just before costa at J ; a fine rich black 

 line dentate and wavy from J costa, to J inner margin ; a second 

 rich black fine line from § costa, dentate to half across wing, 

 thence sharply twice angulated toward base and thence again 

 dentated to J inner margin, a short line branches from centre of 

 this line to just before costa at J ; two suffused grey wavy lines 

 beyond this and parallel to hindmargin, a fine black sub-marginal
