184 Mr. L. B. Prout on 
type taken in 1915, the other two labelled “dry season” 
but not dated. 
Perhaps a race of hypopolia, Hmpsn. (Nov. Zool. xxv. 
p- 208), from British Central Africa. Fore wing with ante- 
median Jine more upright, postmedian more deeply bisinuate, 
and with violet shade in median area; hind wing with 
white apical spot. 
27. Achea indistincta, Walk. 
This species, of which the type is in coll. Joicey, has been 
sunk by Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal. xii. p. 538) to adblunaris, 
Guen. On account of the broader dark border of the hind 
wing (two-fifths of length of wing, against two-sevenths in 
ablunaris), combined with more angulated postmedian line 
on underside of both wings, it seems likely that it is really 
a separate species. 
Costa Rica to Bogota. 
28. Parallelia valga, sp. n. 
? .—58 mm. 
Head and body coloured as in rigidistria, Guen.; palpus 
with third joint considerably shorter than in the ? of that 
species, less than one-third as long as second joint. 
Fore wing coloured as in the lighter forms of rigidistria ; 
subbasal line as in that species ; antemedian arising some- 
what further from base, strongly incurved between SC and 
base of M?’, strongly oblique outwards to hind margin near 
median line ; median line slightly interrupted outward near 
costa; postmedian line much less deeply crenulate than in 
rigidistria, with a single angle at R* ; indications of a dark 
line from this angle to apex; subterminal further from 
termen, the dark shading beyond it rather weak ; fringe 
light brown. 
Hind wing with termen rather fuller near tornus than in 
riyidistria; less clouded with blackish; pale postmedian line 
wanting ; tornal pale mark weak. 
Underside rather paler than in most rigidistria ; fore wing 
with the median -line obsolete, postmedian extremely weak, 
arising further from termen than in rigidistria, apparently 
deeply incurved so as to reach postmedian angle of cell; 
hind wing with cell-dot replaced by a weak comma, median 
~and postmedian lines approximated, especially posteriorly, 
the latter scarcely crenulate, subterminal chiefly shown by 
three or four weak yellowish spots in anterior part. 
Khasia Hills (Nissary).
