HypsidaB. 



35. Deilemera dinaioa, B.- Baker, ab. nigripuncta, ab. n. 



The hind wing bears on the reduced white area a triangle- 

 shaped spot of ground-colour at base of cellule 2. The band 

 of fore wing is reduced and somewhat broken, leaving a 

 rounded spot at end of cell. 



Three other specimens of the species from the same locality 

 vary in width of band on fore wing. In one of these the 

 band is very broad and has a projection from the discocellular 

 into the cell nearly to vein 2.
