24 Mr. L. B. Prout on new 



Underside paler, similarly marked, costal region of hind 

 wing palo yellowish except towards apex. 



Sungei Ujong, Malay Peninsula (Durnford). 



9. Ptochophyle vinosa, sp. n. 



? .—22 mm. 



Head and body above concolorous with wings ; face whitish, 

 vinaceous below; vertex whitish, yellow between the antennae; 

 beneath, with the legs, predominantly whitish. 



Pore wing with termen scarcely oblique in anterior half, 

 curving so as to become very strongly so posteriorly; areole 

 small, SO 1 arising before SC 5 ; vinaceous, very densely 

 irrorated with bluish, giving it a lilacine tone ; markings 

 pale yellow ; a subtriangular costal spot at one-fifth ; an 

 exceedingly slender streak along cos'ta before middle ; a much 

 broader one beyond middle, from the anterior end of which 

 a narrow irregular band runs across the wing to tornus, 

 strongly constricted at M 2 , then widened into a tornal patch ; 

 some interneural subterminal dots, that between SO 5 and R 1 

 farthest from termen ; some irregular, partly elongate or 

 confluent, terminal spots ; fringe yellow, marked with lilacine 

 opposite R 3 . 



Hind wing rather elongate, with termen curved, strongly 

 bent at R 3 ; DC oblique, SC 2 short-stalked, M 1 about connate ; 

 lilacine with terminal spots and fringe (except opposite R 3 ) 

 yellow. 



Underside paler ; fore wing at base and along most of 

 hind margin whitish ; costal margin mixed with yellowish ; 

 otherwise as above. 



N. Borneo (Pryer), type ? , Elopura, off N. Borneo 

 (JBreyer), both in coll. Joicey. 



Specimens which are probably the <? to this ("Borneo" 

 and Sandakan) stand in coll. Brit. Mus. under the I\IS. name 

 of vinosa, Warr. ; they are strongly mottled with yellow in 

 the central area of the fore wing and throughout the hind 

 wing, and have a more or less complete, though narrower, 

 antemedian band, arising in the cell, but slenderly connected 

 with the posterior extremity of the first costal spot. The 

 sexual difference would be somewhat analogous, though not 

 strictly parallel, to that obtaining in permutans, Hamps. (111. 

 Het. viii. p. 123), and in togata, F. (Supp. Ent. p. 454) = 

 amcenaria, Snell. (Tijd. Ent. xxxiii. p. 222)=auricincta, 

 Hamps. (111. Het. ix. p. 149), of which latter deviaria, Walk. 

 (List Lep. Ins. xxii. p. 664), must surely, by analogy with 

 permutafiS) be the $ .
