 men red. Both wings yellow, with red spots and patches. 

 Primaries with basal area yellow, with traces of red marks ; 

 a broad median red band, dissected rather broadly in the 

 middle by the yellow ground-colour, with the inner marginal 

 area interrupted with yellow ; a postmedian stripe of yellow 

 tapering off as it nears the costa, and interrupting the sub- 

 terminal broad red band, which is also interrupted by a 

 crescentic yellow stripe ; terminal area narrowly yellow, with 

 red dots therein. Secondaries almost as the fore wings in

Peridela ekeikei, sp. n. 



g . Head, thorax, abdomen, and both wings brownish ash- 

 grey. Primaries with a fine dark brown subbasal line pro-

 band irrorated with grey and edged outwardly by a dark 

 brown line, which is projected outwards at vein 6 into a 

 triangular costal patch; the area outside this dark line is 

 broadly darkish and extends in a curve to the termen about 

 vein 6, above and below which the terminal and subtermiiial 

 areas are paler grey. Secondaries with the markings of the 

 primaries mostly carried through, but there is no subbasal 

 line and there is a dark dot in the cell.
