 ex. coll. Grose- Smith. 



Catasticta fulva, sp. n. (Plate X, fig. 3.) 



Allied to incerta, Dogn., but differs above in the deeper yellow 

 colour and reduction of the markings. On the fore-wing a spot at 

 the end of the cell ; the spots of the discal band somewhat smaller 

 than in incerta, the marginal spots vestigial. On the hind-wing the 

 basal yellow of incerta is here reduced to a narrow band crossing 

 the cell at its middle, the base being dark brown as the ground- 

 colour. A distinct spot at the end of the cell. The submarginal 

 spots are a little smaller than in incerta and the spot at the base 

 of cellule 2 in incerta is here reduced to a slight powdering. The 

 marginal spots are smaller than in incerta. 



Underside : — Colour as in incerta. On the fore-wing a large 

 double spot at end of cell, and a narrow yellow streak running from 

 it to the base. Discal and marginal spots smaller than in incerta. 

 On the hind-wing the dark band which crosses the cell at its end is 

 darker than in incerta, its proximal edge being well defined. The 

 apices of the submarginal silvery spots are shorter than in incerta, 

 being much shortened in Ic and 2, the marginal spots are smaller. 

 Length of fore-wing 23 mm.

Catasticta huancabambensis, sp. n. (Plate X, fig. 4.) 



cj. Upperside : — Dark-brown, discal band and submarginal spots 

 tawny-yellow powdered with brown scales. Near C. reducta, Btl., 

 from which it differs in the deeper yellow of the discal band and 

 spots, in the narrower discal band of the fore-wing which is reduced 

 to a row of oblong spots, in there being no yellow scaling within the 

 cell, except an indistinct tawny-yellow spot at the distal end. The 

 band of the hind-wing is reduced to a somewhat narrow discal 

 band which crosses the cell at its middle ; in C. reducta the yellow 

 colour extends to the base of the wing. The submarginal spots of 

 the hind-wing are sagittate as in C. seitzi, Lathy and Rosenberg, 

 instead of round as in reducta, and there is a well-defined spot at 

 end of cell.
