212 U.S. NATIONAL IVrUSEUM BULLETIN 25 7 



Thorax bronze. Abdomen bronze black, venter with pale yellow 

 bands across posterior halves of sternites, anal tuft light ochreous. 



Forewing with vein 9 out of the stalk of 7 + 8; lanceolate, costa 

 gently curved throughout, apex acutely pointed, termen slightly 

 convex, extremely obUque. Bronze fuscous, partially strewn with Hght 

 and darker j^ellow, slender, mixed A\dth scales, forming the follo\\'ing 

 markings. An oblong spot on middle of costa, a slender longitudinal 

 streak above cell from middle of wing to apex; a similar streak below 

 middle of wing, with an extension to dorsum before tornus; two large, 

 elongate patches in fold, beyond base and beyond middle, respectively. 

 Metallic markings pale leaden golden, arranged thus: a thick longi- 

 tudinal median streak from middle of wing to apex, pointed on both 

 sides; a transverse triangular patch on dorsum beyond base, inwards- 

 oblique, separating two yellow patches on fold and reaching 2/3 across 

 wing; another, depressed triangular patch on end of cell; these metallic 

 markings may appear black in certain lights; a narrow metallic streak 

 along lower half of termen to tornus. Cilia yellow mixed with black, 

 tips black. 



Hindwing rather dark fuscous grey with a purplish-bronze gloss. 

 Cilia dark fuscous grey. 



Male genitalia: Puzzlingly almost exactly similar to those in C. 

 omata, new species. The only difference is the larger size of the 

 upper valva and longer bristling at its base. 



Material examined: Mindanao, Davao Prov., Meran, east slope 

 of Mt. Apo, original forest, 6500 ft., 8.XI.1946 (CNHM Philippine 

 Exped. 1946-47, H. Hoogstraal), 1 cf , genit. slide 5747. 



The species is more robust and quite differently marked from C. 

 omata, so its validity seems to be beyond any doubt, in spite of un- 

 expected similarity of the genitalia. 



Craterobathra demarcata, new species
