I 1882.] 17 



Under-side red, closely resembling Chcerocampa Belti, only that the green markings 



in that species are replaced by greyish-white. Head, sides of the thorax, and base 



of abdomen dark brown, a white line on each side of the thorax, and crossing the 



base of the abdomen ; the under-side pale reddish-brown. 



Expanse of wings, 31 in. 



Hal). : Fiji Islands {WafJcius). Type, Mus. Druee. 



This fine species is very distinct from any yet described ; in form 

 it resembles D. hypothous, in colour it comes nearest D. andamana. 



Sub-Family AMBULICIX^E. 

 Ambultx Elwesi. 



Much like A. ruhricosa, but shorter-winged and more robust. Primaries 

 rich brown, the outer half the darkest, a series of ochi-eous marks along the hind 

 margin, extending nearly to the anal angle. Posterior-wing bright pink, the outer 

 half deep brown, an indistinct black line bordered with greyish-blue near the anal 

 angle. Under-side rich bro^vnish-pink ; primaries bright pink near the base, and an 

 indistinct greyish band crossing the wing near the outer margin ; secondaries crossed 

 in the middle by a pinkish-white band ; between it and the base on the costal margin 

 is a brown spot. Head, thorax, and abdomen brown, paler beneath. Antennae and 

 legs brown. Expanse of wings, 3j in. 



Hah. : Darjiling {Elwes). Type, Mus. Druce. 



This beautiful species is allied to A. ruhricosa and A. Junonia. 

 I am indebted to Mr. Elwes for the pleasure of describing and adding 

 it to my collection. 



Ambultx aegentata. 



Primaries glossy gi-eyish-brown, almost white at the apex, crossed by a series of 

 pale waved lines, a black dot at the end of the cell, the outer margin and the fringe 

 brown. Secondaries pale brown, thickly speckled with white hairs, a row of white 

 spots crossing the middle of the wing from the anal angle to the costal margin, the 

 spots nearest the inner margin are tlie largest. Under-side dark pinkish-brown, the 

 spots and markings as above, only more distinct, and speckled with brown scales. 

 Head, sides of thorax, and base of the abdomen dark olive-green. Middle of thorax 

 and abdomen silver-grey. Expanse of wings, 3j in. 



Hah. : Saigon, Cochin China (Boucard). Type, Mus. Druce. 

 This very distinct species reminds one at first sight of A. hjjpos- 

 ticta, the under-sides being somewhat alike. 



Sub-Family SMERINTHINjE. 

 Triptogo:!^ rosea. 



Primaries above pale pinkish-brown, crossed by three indistinct brown lines, a 

 dark brown spot close to the anal angle, and a large dark patch of the same colour 

 extending along the outer margin almost to the apex. Secondaries bright rosy-red, 

 with a brown spot at the anal angle. Under-side reddish-brown, both wings ci'ossed 

 by several indistinct, pale brown, waved lines. Head, thorax, and abdomen, pale 

 brown. Expanse of wings, 2i in.
