marked, differs in colour, in the angulated nature of the 

 inner bands, in the great difference in shape of the 

 orbicular stigma, and absence of spot at anal angle. 



461. Zethes umhrifera, n. sp. 

 Body purplish brown. Wings with the ground colour yellowish 

 grey, but so covered with purplish brown shades as to be almost 

 altogether of that colour, with the ground colour showing here and 

 there. Fore wing with a large black spot below the costa one- 

 fourth from the base, and another small one on a light ground 

 beyond it ; a brown line from the costa beyond the middle, forming 

 a sharp outward angle, then sinuous downwards to the hinder 

 margin beyond the middle ; a corresponding semidentated brown 

 band on hind wings, running straight across the wing to the abdo- 

 minal margin near the anal angle, the latter outwardly pale-edged, 

 as also is a submarginal similar band across both wings, well 

 separated fi'om the margin ; a very large blackish spot or patch, 

 rounded below, on the costa of fore wings near the apex, where 

 there are five pale points ; veins prominent ; marginal points 

 black, line brown ; fringe variegated. Expanse of wings, 1^ in.

Easily distinguishable from the other species by its

 Chocolate-brown ; palpi blackish brown. Fore wings with three 

 blackish spots or patches on the basal half, a broad white central 

 band, striated with chocolate-brown on the lower half, and becomes 

 suffused into the general colour of the wing upwards before reaching 

 the costa, its outer border bends outwards into an acute angle in 

 its centre, the upper part of the angle being limited by a white 

 streak from the apex of the angle to the middle of the costa on the 

 last blackish spot; a pale transverse subapical line runs half-way 

 down the wing, with a blackish diffused space on its inner side, 

 and a subcostal blackish streak from this patch to the base of the 

 wing ; a submarginal row of pale points. Hind wings with a 

 central band, corresponding to the band on the fore wings, but 

 attenuated hindwards; some indistinct subbasal pale points and 

 fringe on both wings with a pale basal line. Expanse of wings,
