In type of maculation quite similar to discistriga Sm. but lack- 

 ing all of the brown tinges, in this respect approaching leucorena Sm. 

 which is placed by Hampson in the genus Namangana but which pos- 

 sibly should be more closely associated with discistriga. 



Cham^clea basiochrea sp. nov. (PI. Ill, Fig. 22). 



Head yellow ; thorax pale ochreous ; abdomen orange-yellow ; legs ochreous 

 tinged with purplish; fore wings with basal area to t. p. line pale ochreous 

 tinged with purplish along costa; t. a. line very indistinct, indicated by a deep 

 purple mark on costa and an olivaceous oblique stripe above inner margin; 

 the general course as indicated being strongly outcurved below costa to near 

 middle of wing and then inwardly oblique to inner margin near base of wing; 

 median area largely purplish, more or less suffused with deep olive above inner 

 margin; t. p. line indistinct, in general subparallel to t. a. line, strongly out- 

 curved below costa, bent in below cell and angled inwardly on vein 2, then 

 slightly rounded to inner margin; the angle on vein 2 is connected with t. a. 

 line by a dark olive shade; beyond t. p. line are pale shades on costa, in the 

 angle below cell and on inner margin, the remainder of the subterminal 

 space being deep olivaceous; terminal space pale ochreous crossed by an olive 

 shade below vein 6; a slightly darker terminal line and pale fringes divided 

 by a darker line. Secondaries yellow-brown at base, deep smoky outwardly 

 with pale fringes. Beneath primaries smoky, strongly suffused with orange- 

 brown and tinged with purplish along costa and outwardly; secondaries rather 

 deep ochreous tinged along costa with purplish. Expanse 25 mm.

The species is very similar to peruana Grt, differing in the less 

 distinct t. p. line on primaries with deeper angle on vein 2 and the 

 yellow-brown basal area of secondaries; peruana was figured in our 

 'Contributions' Vol. II (1), PI. 21, Fig. 20. 



Stiria olivalis sp. nov. (PI. Ill, Fig 8). 



Head and thorax white, slightly tinged with gray; abdomen gray; fore 

 wings white, more or less suffused with olivaceous and crossed by three diffuse 

 olive-green bands, the first, representing the t. a. line, is in general course in- 

 wardly oblique, dentate below costa and again on cubital vein, the second, 

 in the place of the t. p. line is subparallel to the first, rather indistinct and 

 broadly diffuse in costal portion, narrower and well defined above the inner 

 margin, the third is submarginal, broken, consisting of a costo-apical patch, 

 another between veins 4 and 6 and a third above inner margin, more or 

 less joined together by a narrow olive green line; a broken terminal olivaceous 

 line ; fringes pale, tipped with fuscous. Secondaries entirely deep smoky 

 brown. Beneath primaries deep smoky brown; secondaries pale whitish gray
