SCALY WINGED COPEOGNATHA. 7) 
margin a large golden spot which radiates diffusely through the 
wing to the hinder margin ; at the nodulus a large golden spot which 
usually radiates indistinctly and diffusely towards the middle of 
the anterior margin ; wing base golden ; at various places isolated 
golden scales; the marginal spot of the middle of the anterior 
margin and that between the ends of 7, and 754. are generally 
the largest of the wing, sometimes the remaining golden marking 
decreases in proportion to these, with the exception of the outer 
marginal spots. Inthe hind wing the membrane of the apical zone 
with clear brownish scales ; membrane red to intense golden yellow, 
with greenish golden yellow iridescence. 
Scales of the fore wing (fig. 36 a) relatively broad and short, at 
the end smoothly truncate, the marginal scales (fig. 36 () slender, 
relatively broad and emarginate at the end ; scales of the hind wing 
(fig. 36. y. 6. «.) similarly emarginate. 
Length of fore wing 2°2 mm., wing expanse 43 mm. 
Ceylon, Peradeniya, January, 1905, one specimen on a tree 
trunk ; February, 1905, two specimens on tree trunks ; March, 1905, 
one specimen on a tree trunk ; collected by Mr. E. E. Green. 
Seopsis metallops, n. sp. 
(Figs. 4, 33, 57, 92, 93, 121.) 
Head deep dull sammet black, rarely brownish black ; clypeus, 
forehead, and frontal margin of the vertex rather thickly covered 
with a microscopic pubescence having a strong metallic green lustre ; 
on the clypeus this pubescence forms very fine closely packed 
parallel longitudinal streaks. Over the middle of each half of the 
vertex passes a flat but very distinct longitudinal impression, which 
is continued upon the not very long forehead, where it marks off a 
roundish median prominence which carries in the middle a small 
roundish clear yellowish brown spot ; in the middle of each of the 
impressions of the vertex occurs an equally large and similarly 
coloured-spot. These three clear round spots lie in the angles of an 
imaginary isosceles triangle, whose apical angle is little short of 
60°, and. they are extraordinarily deceptive, resembling the ocelli 
when examined with a low power lens. The actual ocelli are very 
small and shine like orange yellow glass beads ; the anterior is a 
little larger ; the distance between the two posterior ocelli is about 
half as great as their distance from the eyes. Clypeolus clear 
yellowish brown. Upper lips glossy brown black, rarely brown. 
Occiput steeply descending, but at the same time strongly rounded. 
Suture of the vertex very fine, sometimes pale brown behind. 
Eyes fairly large, hardly prominent. Antennz moderately thin,
