2. ^antJiotccnia obscnra, sp. n. 



$ . Allied to X. Bicsiris, of Sumatra, Borneo, and Malacca, but, for its sex, larger, 

 with longer wings ; the basal half of primaries, and whole of secondaries, deep 

 chocolate-brown instead of tawny, the yellow belt of primaries more oblique, 

 and slightly paler ; the sub-apical spot smaller ; primaries below with all the darker 

 areas decidedly darker, and the sub-marginal belt more ocliraceous, crinkled rather 

 than aezag, the larger sub-apical ocellus black, with white pupil and pale yellow 

 iris, instead of stone-grey witli pale yellow iris ; secondaries clouded beyond the 

 cell, across the disc and on the border, with chocolate-brown ; the irregular lines 

 across the wings more angular, well-defiiu'd, dark chocolote-brown ; the second and 

 sixth ocelli large and blackish, with white pupil and pale yellow iris, the other ocelli 

 very small ; the eighth absent : expanse of wings, 73 mm.

3. Moiliiza imltata, sp. n. 



Allied to 31. Procris, but with more nearly the general aspect of M. lihniles ; 

 upper surface mahogany-red ; primaries with the apical half black ; a white, 

 irregular, oblique, quadrifid patch just beyond the middle ; three sub-apical white 

 dots in an oblique, slightly incurved series; an irregvilarly sinuated band of mahogany- 

 red near the outer margin, the outer border brown-edged, and intersected by a mar- 

 ginal and a sub-marginal black stripe ; costa at base black ; the basal area crossed by 

 the usual black markings, similar markings are also within the cell of secondaries ; 

 a transverse, bifid, sub-apical, white spot on the latter wings, two diverging discal 

 series of almost confluent black spots ; outer border as on the primaries ; fringe 

 spotted with white between the veins ; body rufous-brown ; primaries below paler 

 than above ; the basal area greenish-white ; an oblique black dash in the cell, fol- 

 lowed by an oblique black-edged tawny spot, below which is a second smaller spot 

 of the same colours ; the black apical half is only represented by a black margin to 

 the white patch, followed on the radial and sub-costal interspaces by four longitu- 

 dinal black streaks, on the upper three of which the white dots of the upper surface 

 appear, but larger than above, oblique, and cuneiform ; there is also a series of 

 black spots (which, on the upper surface, are united, and form the outer boundary 

 of the discal red band), some of these ai-c edged externally with whitish ; sub- 

 marginal and marginal stripes reduced to black lines, the interval between which is 

 partly white ; secondaries with the basal three-fourths pale green, the basal black 

 markings very slender ; the double white spot of the upper surface black-edged, and 

 forming the commencement of an irregular series of spots, three of which are also 

 white with black edges, and the other two small and black, these spots are all smaller 

 than the first ; discal series of spots much reduced in size, the outer series with 

 whitish lunuk's immediately beyond them ; marginal and sub-marginal stripes 

 slender, with white between them, as on the primaries ; body below white : expanse 

 of wings 68 mm.
