130. Capasa bifiircata spec. nov. 



Forcwing : deep purple, with two brown lines becoming blackish ou costa, as 

 in incensata \Vlk., but the outer line different ; first line from near middle of costa, 

 below which it is curved, to before middle of inner margin ; the second from 

 three-fourths of costa, at first running outwards, but bent and oblique to inner 

 margin much sooner than in incensata, in which the onter line points direct to the 

 apex, while here it is much more nearly parallel to hiudmargin ; the lines are wider 

 apart on inner margin, and the green interval therefore broader ; this green colour 

 runs up along first line to middle of cell, ending in a sinuate tongue, the outer edge 

 ending on vein 2 ; before the first line the cell is dull fulvous and the costa above it 

 purjilish. 



Hlndwinii : with the central green band liroad and sinuous, the costal and 

 inner margin from it to base bright yellow. 



Underside as in ? ? of incensata, but the purplish grey marginal border of 

 forewing is uninterrupted ; while in the hindwing it is restricted to a small blotch 

 at apex and streak at anal angle. 



Palpi, abdomen beneath, and all legs orange ; face, thorax, and dorsum deep 

 purple ; vertex, collar, and antennae grey. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm.

This ? came with a long series of the ordinary incensata ; in size it corresponds 

 with the c? c? of that species, the ? ¥ being in all cases larger ; the six examples 

 of ? incensata were all more or less worn, whereas the present specimen is quite 

 fresh. Whether rightly a distinct species or an abnormal development of incensata 

 must be left to future determination. 



131. Gonophaga straminea spec. nov. and ab. abrupta nov. and brunneata nov. 



Forewing: straw-colour, either quite pale, or washed with fulvous brown, and 

 more or less speckled with fulvous ; first line from one-third of costa, right-angled 

 on the subcostal vein, vertical to submedian, then oblique inwards, marked by 

 dark vein-spots, and often preceded by a brown shade ; cell-spot annular ; a 

 slightly outcurved median shade below the cell-spot, rarely visible above it ; an 

 outer sinuous shade from two-thirds of costa, its lower half generally obscured, 

 but, where visible, parallel to median shade ; from three-fourths of costa a brown 

 line obliquely curved outwards to vein 6, there sharply angled and oblique inwards 

 to before middle of inner margin, becoming irregularly double belo\v the angle, 

 and widening, often ending in an oblong black-brown blotch, and crossing the 

 lower parts of the median and outer lines ; submarginal line waved, generally 

 indistinct, but mostly ending at anal angle in an upright blackish blotch ; marginal 

 area always jialer at the middle ; a row of black spots between the veins before 

 the margin. 



Hindwing : with a brown straight basal line and another antemedian, jiassing 

 inside the discal annulus, which is sometimes prominent ; a dentate-lnnulate curved 

 postmedian line, and a brown pale-edged submarginal line running straight from 

 anal angle to margin between veins 4 and G, there bent to the end of vein 8, and 

 generally interrupted into spots. 



Underside pale straw-colour in basal half, heavily and coarsely speckled with 

 brown ; outer half grey-brown, with a bluish grey apical blotch, preceded by a pale
