the allies, the angle on snbmedian fold acute ; discal mark novmal, eloDgate ; 

 both win<rs with postmediau line formed abont as in i-nj'ofasciata Moore, but 

 thicker, distal area deep purple-grey, as iu the darkest ruginaria, leaving a white 

 midterminal blotch on both wings. 



Under-surface nearly as in ruginaiia, the basal yellow shading more restricted, 

 on forewing slight except along costal margin. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December lOKi (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Rothschild. Also Haidana, 

 ('ollingwood Bay, April 1907, and a short series from Kumasi River, British 

 New Guinea, at low elevation. May, August and September 1007, all iu coll. 

 Rothschild. 



Differs from chlora, rmjiiiitria., etc., in the more ochreous, not black-banded 

 face, and in having the postmedian line neither deeply dentate nor in its middle 

 outcnrved. In all these respects nearest the Assam form of rufo/asciala Moore, 

 which is smaller, the darker borders of a totally different colouring, the underside 

 with more yellow, etc. The teeth in the postmedian line are moreover really 

 more intermediate towards those oi chlora, and that on %W of the forewing is 

 rather pronounced. 



20. Pingasa victoria spec. nov. 



?, 46-47 mm. Shape and structure of «?/«/(?/■« ('ram. (palpus 3-5 mm. long, 

 third joint fully 1-5 mm.). Face black in upper half, whitish ochreous in lower. 

 Palpus white beneath, more tinged with ochreous above. Vertex, thorax and 

 abdomen concolorous with wings. Fore- and middle-legs blackish above and on 

 inner side, spotted with white at the ends of the joints. 



Wings coloured as in the coldest (least red-mixed) chlora ; lines rather 

 fine, grey-blackish, on forewing arising from deep black costal spots ; first (on 

 forewing only) at .5-.5 mm. from base, only very gently outcurved in cell and 

 snbmedian area; postmedian of forewing from costa at 12 mm., running somewhat 

 outwards to R' 5 mm. from termen, the tooth on R' slight, that on R- extremely 

 slight or wanting, teeth on R' and M' equidistant from termen, those of M- and 

 SM- slightly farther from it (a very slight proximal curve of the liue in its posterior 

 part) ; postmedian of hindwing approximately parallel with termen, except near 

 apex, the teeth quite moderate, the proximal curve between the radials slighter than 

 in chlora, the tooth on R- minute or wanting. 



Under-surface white, both wings with ratlier narrow black distal band, that of 

 forewing leaving a white spot at a])ex and white band from li^ and not quite reach- 

 ing posterior margin ; that of hindwing leaving narrow, irregular marginal band, 

 nearly or quite interrupted by the black about R- ; forewing with small black cell- 

 mark, hindwing without. 



Victoria Falls, Rhodesia, February 16, 1011 (L. A. Sabine). Type in coll. 

 L. B. Prout. A second example from I'arberton, Transvaal (L. de Beer) in coll. 

 A. J. T. Janse, Pretoria. 



Distinguished by the little outcurved antemedian line and the outward sweei 

 in the middle of the postmedian of the forewing.
