Genus Erateina. 263 



1. Erateina undulala, W. W. S. $ . (PI. XV, figs. 1, 1 a.) 



Head, antennae and anterior wings above dark umber-brown, 

 the latter with a narrowish white band, crossing a h'ttle beyond 

 the centre, abruptly bent inwards about its middle, and not 

 reaching either the anterior or posterior margins of the wing ; 

 below red-brown, with redder shades, and a transverse white band 

 as above, but crossing the wing entirely, and a transverse broader 

 ill-defined band about midway between the former and the base 

 of the wing, the space beyond being marked with white lines, 

 and there is also a small white transverse streak between the two 

 white bands. Posterior wings elongated, and produced into an 

 obtuse diverging tail ; above black-brown, with a broad crimson 

 nearly straight band, crossing from near the posterior angle of the 

 anterior wing to the inner margin, a little in advance of the base 

 of the tail, and having three crimson elongated spots in the 

 sinuations of the outer margin, and two of the same colour on the 

 inner margin of the tail ; below with a narrow crimson band as 

 above, and having the base, fold and portion of the basal side of 

 the crimson band silvery-white, variously lined diagonally with 

 crimson ; then a black-brown sinuated band down the tail, 

 corresponding with the dark groundwork of the upperside, and 

 three elongated pinkish- white spots on the outer and three on the 

 inner margin, including the tail. Thorax and body above dark 

 umber-brown. Underside of body and legs white. 



Expansion of wings 1^^^ inch.

This is near Zoraida of Doub., but differs in the very undu- 

 lating and short band of the upperside of the anterior wings, and 

 in having only one narrow band on the underside, and in the 

 broader and less pointed posterior wings. 



2. Erateina sinuata, W. W. S. ? . (PI. XV. figs. 2, 2 a.) 



Head, antennae and anterior wings above dark reddish-brown ; 

 underside of anterior wings pale reddish-brown, with a silvery- 

 wdiite, nearly straight, rather narrow transverse band, crossing 

 nearly the centre of the wing from margin to margin, and having 

 the basal portion beyond the band all suffused with silvery -white, 

 except an elongate triangular patch of the ground adjoining the 

 band. Posterior wings elongate, produced into a broad abrupt 

 tail ; above dark reddish-brown, with a crimson band, having a 

 sinuated margin crossing the wings from the outer angle to the 

 inner margin near the base of the tail, and having the space
