Antherea imperator^ nov. sp. 



Male. Near to Helferi (Moore) but considerably larger. 

 Antennae light brown. Fore-wing apex as in cmdanuma 

 (Moore) and Frithi (Moore) being narrowly falcate, but in 

 this species truncate not rounded. Costa pinkish grey, fore 

 and hind-wings above pale pinkish brown, the cell and 

 just beyond along the costa paler and pinker than the 

 rest. Veins of fore-wing usually outlined in dark brown. 

 A short brown subbasal line at right angles to the costa 

 edged internally with pink ; a very faint brown band just 

 indicated, crossing from costa beyond the cell to the middle 

 of hind-margin ; a faint submarginal line commencing at 

 the apical spot and continued to the hind-margin. The 

 hinder angle of the wing being much produced. Ocellus 

 not vitreous ; inner half of ring pink, outer yellow with 

 yellow streak across. The outer margins of both wings are 

 outlined in brown ; the fringes being the same shade as 

 wings. Hind-wing triangular; both anal angle and outer 

 margins long and straight ; the costal rounded, the veins 

 much less strongly outlined. A brown line extending from 

 anal margin, then running broader round the outside of 

 ocellus and continued as a wavy line to near anal angle. 

 Another line outwardly parallel and contiguous to this 

 one from the anal angle to near the outer angle. Ocellus 

 as fore-wing but having the upper margin with a black 

 spindle shaped mark. Below the wings are darker than above, 

 outer half beyond the cell paler; a suffused subbasal 

 brown band, another from hind-margin to the ocellus, and 

 a narrow marginal line with paler spots without. 



Female. Wings orange yellow with all veins of fore-
