both wings from middle of costal margin of forewing to anal angle of hindwing, 

 slightly paler beneath than above. 



Clasper armed with a long, horizontal, finger-like, pointed process, which bears 

 a heav}" pointed tooth near the base. Neuratiou as in Hetei'iisia, excepting R- and 

 W of the forewing not being stalked together.

(?. Head, legs, breast and nnderside of abdomen metallic bluish green, 

 pronotura greenish blue ; mesonotnra orange-yellow ; rest of upporside olive-black, 

 with some blue metallic scaling ; end of abdomen below dirty creamy buflF. 



Wing.s, 7/pperi<i(/t>, black. Forewing : a large triangular basal area and a 



middle band reddish orange, connected with one another at hinder margin ; a 



subapical band of short metallic blue streaks. Hindwing : an orange marginal 



band as prolongation of the median band of the forewing ; fringe black. 



Underside. Forewing : costal margin green-blue from base beyond middle ; 



basal patch of npperside not present below ; median band as above, but paler. 



Hindwing : costal and abdominal margins and a broad basi-discal mesial streak 

 metallic blue ; marginal band paler than above, creamy in front, narrowed to a 

 point behind. 



Neuration essentially as in Heferusm. 



Clasper as in the preceding species, but devoid of the large subbasal tooth.

20. Doratopteryx xanthomelas spec. nov. (Fl. XI. f 16a. ?.) 



?. Body and wings ochraceous orange, forewing from apical third of cell to 

 apex and hindwing from apical fourth of wider proximal part of wing to tip of tail 



black ; antenna brown. Forewing with a very small orange dot at apex of cell ; 



four subcostals, the first close before apex of cell, the other three stalked together, 

 the last standing near the cell ; R- closer to R' than; to R' ; the cross-vein D' 



transverse ; M' midway between R^ and M'. Hindwing : wider proximal part 



about 12 mm. long and 1^ to 2 mm. broad, widest near base, tail about 10 mm. 

 long, feebly dilated at tip ; neuration not constant, five longitudinal veins, the first 

 and third extending to base, the others obsolete jiroximally, the first and second 

 well developed also in the tail, giving off some side branches.

In D. forfa (1887) Butler vein M' of forewing stands much closer to M^ than to 

 R', and D^ is longitudinal, appearing as a direct j)rolongation of M, and being nearly 

 as long as the section M^ — M^ of M. In B. nemopteridia R^ and R' of the forewing 

 are close together.
