186 Messrs. J. J. Joicey and A. Noakes on 



14. Pareronia chinki, sp. nov. 



(Plate XXIV, figs. 4, S, 5, ?.) 



A very distinct species which we have pleasure in 

 naming after the collector, who will forgive us for taking 

 his nickname. 



Nearest jacohea, Bdv. (J. Upperside of forewing greenish -white, 

 leaving a narrow black margin extending from base, round apex 

 where it is 5 mm. broad, to just below vein 2 where it narrows to 

 a point. Some greyish scaling at base of costa. Hindwing 

 greenish-white with androconial patch extending from above vein 

 7 to below 6 and reaching apex. A black marginal border 3 mm. 

 broad from apex to inner angle ; white streaks at its proximal edge 

 on intraneural folds in Ic, 2-4. 



Underside with narrower black costal margin and two thin 

 short streaks in apex, a streak in 6 and marginal black dentate on 

 the veins. Hindwing brownish-black with a submarginal row of 

 rounded white spots each traversed by a short vivid white line on 

 the intraneural fold. In Ic two streaks broadened distally, a 

 similar streak in 6, and another in 7 without scaling at sides of 

 fold. Some light sparse scaling proximally of the spots from inner 

 margin to cellule 6. 



$. Upperside ground-colour brownish-black with white markings. 

 A streak through centre of cell narrowing towards base, a much 

 thinner streak almost fused with it anteriorly, and a streak 

 below it showing mostly as an elongate spot at end of cell. 

 Beyond the cell a subcostal streak, a larger one below it in 

 angle of 6, a longer one in 5, one in 4, an oblong spot in 3, 

 an elongate spot in 2 ; two streaks in lower median area extending 

 from terminal spot to base and scarcely separated by a thin 

 line of ground-colour; below submedian a marginal streak not 

 reaching outer angle. At apex 3 short streaks followed by a row 

 of submarginal spots, those in 4 and 5 smaller than the others 

 and the one in 3 the larger. Hindwing with cell white except its 

 lower edge, and traversed by a faint streak of dark scaling. A 

 subcostal streak and 4 elongate discal spots round cell, a thick 

 streak in 2, two streaks in Ic divided by submedian fold, their 

 pointed outer ends joined each to a submarginal white spot. Inner 

 margin white along both sides of lower submedian. A sub- 

 marginal row of 6 rounded white spots. 



Underside with all white markings much increased. Cell-streaks
