Ephcmeriihc from the Tenasserim Vallcij. 187 



grey. Upper parts of the anterior femur dull reddish purple- 

 brown : a narrow stripe (of a like colour in the abdomen, but more 

 of a piceous tint in the thorax, where it is narrowest) extends 

 from the head along each side of the body to the 9th abdominal 

 segment. 



^. Whitish ochre, more flavescent about the thorax, with 

 reddish brown or reddish purple-brown markings, comprising — a 

 fine median longitudinal line through the pronotum, continued 

 along the median suture of the mesonotum ; the orbits of the 

 ocelli, and the greater part of the basal joints of the antennae ; and 

 a longitudinal stripe of moderate width on each side of the body 

 from the pronotum to the 9th abdominal segment, which, com- 

 mencing opposite the back of the eyes, is arched on the pronotum, 

 and prolonged posteriorly below the wings. Setse flavescent for 

 some distance from the roots, and then very light ochreous, with 

 the joinings narrowly very light reddish purple ; at the extreme 

 tip, a few of the joints (2 or 3) are mini;tely pilose. Legs light 

 yellowish amber-colour, except parts of the fore leg, viz., the 

 upper parts of the fore femur reddish purple-brown throughout ; 

 a small spot of the same colour underneath, just beyond the 

 middle, and another rather larger underneath at the tip, produce 

 annulations : tibia reddish purple-brown at the extreme base, but 

 dark purple or violet-carmine at the tip; 1st tarsal joint, and the 

 tips of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th joints also of this colour. In the fore 

 wing the cross-veinlets of the marginal area are rather broadly 

 and conspicuously bordered with light reddish pitch-brown ; the 

 bordering sometimes is partly dark-edged, and the colouring, 

 entirely permeating the costa and the terminal portion of the sub- 

 costa, spreads narrowly along both these nervures between the 

 spots or blotches ; it also invades the extreme apex of the siib- 

 marginal area, and insinuates itself into the next area thereabouts 

 in near proximity to the radius, and the fore parts of the last two 

 or tlnree cross-veinlets therein. The faintly coloured freckles in 

 the disk of the fore wing are disposed approximately in two linear 

 series — one of three freckles, posterior to the anal nervure, near 

 the bends or primary forks of its branches ; the other of four 

 freckles, nearly parallel with the terminal margin, one of which is 

 at the bend or inner extremity of the intercalary nervure contained 

 within the fork of the praobrachial ; there is also another freckle, 

 out of rank, at the bend or inner extremity of the first long inter- 

 calary nervure after the pobrachial that represents a postical ner- 

 vure. Hind wing spotless. Neuration for the most part light 

 yellow amber-colour ; but in the fore wing, the costa fi'om the first 

 cross-veinlet onwards, the greater part of tlie subcosta towards the
