Eucharidema arfaka, sp. n. 
GPT: BETS fies 1.) 
Similar to aroensis, Roth.*, and euwanthes, Proutt. Agrees 
with arvensis in the white band of the hind wing, which is 
absent in evanthes. Differs from ewanthes on the fore wing 
in the well-marked posterior fork of the subterminal line, in 
the stripein cellule 3 being perceptibly forked at its distal 
end, and the orange patch below being reduced proximally. 
It resembles the differently looking labyrinthodes, Prout t, in 
the fork of the subterminal line, and the reduced orange 
patch on the underside. 
& 3. Upperside—Fore wing with ground-colour black 
strongly irrorated with chocolate-brown, which is less at 
base and outer margin. <A distinct thin basal line of 
chocolate-brown, a subterminal irregular line which runs 
parallel to margin from costa near apex to vein 4, then 
curves inwards and is oblique to inner margin ; it is joined 
to another line at the middle of vein 3, this line going to 
the tornus, and it is sometimes connected with a curved 
mark outside it in cellule 2. A white postcellular bar or 
line, reduced to a pale thin line in two specimens, runs just 
beyond cell from centre to vein 4 and is slightly curved. 
The whole of cellule 8 is filled in with chocolate-colour, and 
this extends more or less definitely as a bar across end of 
cell. ‘There is a small triangular patch of chocolate-colour 
on margin below apex, and this usually cuts off a black 
apical patch. Hind wing plumbagineous with a narrow 
white postcellular band from costa to vein 4; it narrows 
posteriorly and is sometimes obsolescent to inner margin. 
Underside plumbagineous. Fore wing darker in distal 
half. A broad orange-yellow subapical band from costa 
to vein 2, slightly invading cell, widest in cellule 3, outer 
edge more irregular than the inner. Hind wing without 
markings. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen smoky brown above, paler 
below ; antennze pale brown ; legs grey. 
Length of fore wing 24 mm.
