species of the lepidopterous genus Carama. 135 



branches from a footstalk, and the fifth from the inferior 

 margin of the main vein, between the second and third 

 branches, like unto a misplaced radial. This, though 

 not overlooked by Mr. Butler, was not mentioned in his 

 monograph ; it cannot, however, be regarded as any- 

 thing else than an aberration, the species in every other 

 character being identical with the rest of the genus. 



Carama punt, Butl. (PL VI., fig. 8). 

 Vortex of head ami collar sulphur-yellow ; face, palpi, front 

 of pectus, and front of anterior legs smoky brown ; rest of legs 

 white. 



Nearest allied to ovina, but differs in that its face and 

 front of anterior legs are smoky brown, which is not the 

 case with that species. 



Carama Butleri, n. s. (PI. VI., figs. 1, 2, & 3). 



<y. Vertex of head and collar white; palpi, front of pectus, 

 and femora of anterior legs smoky black ; costal margin beneath 

 black. 



$ . Similar to the male, but the black is replaced by a light 

 shade of grey ; and the costal margin beneath has no trace of 

 black. 



This may at once be separated from all its allied 

 species by both the vertex of head and the collar being 

 white. 



Carama niuea, Cram. 



There is no specimen of this in the Museum, but 

 Cramer gives a description and a poor figure of it in his 

 Pap. Exot., from which it appears very doubtful if it 

 belongs to this genus. It is represented as larger than 

 Walkeri, and has three reddish spots at the anal angle 

 of the hind wing ; these, however, may not improbably 

 be stains, and is evidently a larger and altogether more 

 robust insect. 



The following table shortly sums up the main specific 

 differences : —
