Plate X, 



Catasticta rosea, sp. n. (Plate X, fig. 7.) 



Near C. uricoecheae, Feld., but wings emarginate. 



Upperside : — Fore-wing smoky brown. A spot in the cell at its 

 end ; a median band of 6 spots from cellule 5 to the inner margin, 

 the two first being the smallest; a submarginal row of 8 spots 

 which are proximally sagittate. All these spots are yellowish- 

 white, not pure white as in C. uricoecheae. 



Hind-wing smoky brown at extreme base, then pale rose pink, 

 with a longitudinal yellowish-white streak in the cell. A median 

 band of smoky brown which crosses the end of the cell, where it is 

 broken by the pinkish colour which cuts off a spot in the cell end. 

 The proximal edge of this band is straight and does not extend to 

 the bases of cellules 3 and 5. A marginal band of smoky brown 

 narrowly separated from the median band, the space between being 

 pinkish with ill-defined narrow yellow spots placed longitudinally 

 in 10 to 6, and invading the median band. A marginal row of 

 rose-coloured spots. 



Underside : — Fore-wing as above but spots reduced and yellower, 

 and with a marginal row of pale yellow streaks joining the sub- 

 marginal sagittate spots ; the points of these latter are tipped with 

 black. Hind-wing liglit chocolate-brown, with a narrow pale pink 

 median band cutting the cell beyond the middle, and an ill-defined 

 submarginal band of the same colour. Primrose-yellow streaks as 

 follows : — one bordered with black and running the entire length 

 of the centre of the cell and with a black spot before its end, two 

 in Ic and one each in 2 to 7 all joining the marginal rosy spots; 

 these streaks are bordered and tipped with black; a thick streak 

 in la and one in 16, joining the margin. A primrose-yellow spot 

 lying at the end of a larger and quadrate black spot near the base 

 of cellule 7. The yellow streaks in Ic, 6 and 7, cross the median 

 band. Costal margin rosy near the base.
