108. Cleoea periphfacta sp. n. 



Cf 39 mm. 



Very like a large colorifcra Prout (Nov. Zool., xxiii., p. 53), 

 of which, in spite of the apparent structural differences (mostly 

 unverifiable without dissection) it is hard to believe it may not 

 be a remarkable form. Rather larger. Face predominantly 

 white. Palpus with third joint perhaps rather longer (more 

 fully exposed) more drooping. Hind tibia perhaps uiore heavily 

 dilated, the black hair-pencil very strong. Both wings darker, 

 less ochreous, above and beneath. Fore wing with secondary 

 fovea (present in both species in front of submedian fold) 

 broader ; stronger dark interneural marks from postmedian to 

 subterminal ; dark clouding (apparently variable) between 

 M ( — M^) and SM^ Hind wing with termen rather more 

 strongly crenulate than in coJorifera ; costal margin rather 

 more arched proximally. 



Mt. Penrissen, 3500 feet. 



There are also less dark examples in Coll. Tring Mus. from 

 Kinabalu (lcf,19) and Gunong Ijau (19^- Differs from 

 vnriegafa Moore in the considerably longer pectinations, more 

 elongate hind wing, less bright and varied coloration, deeply 

 I unu late-dentate subterminal of hind wing between W and 

 tornus, heavy dark borders beneath, etc. In all the colorifera 

 and pcrophracta yet known to me SC^ and SC^ arise from the 

 cell well apart, while in variegata they are nearly always 

 stalked, though usually very shortly. 



109. Cleora PR a e variegata sp. n. 



(j* 34 mm. 



Group of variegata Moore. Palpus with terminal joint 

 rather longer, more drooping. Antennal pectinations much 

 longer, the longest fully 1.5 mm. 



Fore wing with SC^ shortly stalked, sometimes anastomosing 

 with C ; fovea scarcely so large as in variegata ; wing even 

 more variegated, the ground-colour nearly white, strongly 

 suffused with ochre yellow about both folds, the pale sub- 

 terminal spot in the type more orange, the blackish cloudings 

 and median shade stronger ; some blackish hind marginal 

 shading between antemedian and median ; tnedian curved 

 outside cell-spot, not angled ; postmedian less excurved 

 between SC* and E^ ; subterminal barely indented at fold, 

 expanding into a marked spot at tornus ; terminal pale mark
