tapering white streak; a second similar streak below the 
median vein ; an oblique band of five white spots beyond the 
cell, and a small spot close to the external angle: secondaries 
with the cell anda belt of white markings commencing on the 
interno-median area with two streaks, above it with three 
gradually decreasing spots, and terminating with a larger 
subapical spot. Body below white, the sides of the pectus

Nearly allied to Z. coleta of Cramer (which we have from 
Ceram, Malacca, and Java), but differing in the narrow black 
borders to its wings, the narrower irregular band across the 
primaries, and in the black colouring of the veins on all the 
wings. Hxpanse of wings 50 millim.

Lipinia anolis, sp. n. 
Snout pointed, as long as the distance between the eye and 
the ear-opening. Latter narrow, its anterior border with a 
feeble denticulation formed by four scales. Rostral large, 
truncated behind. Internasal pentagonal, about as large as 
one of the prefrontals. Latter in contact mesially, the suture 
measuring less than half their greatest length. Frontal 
four-sided, much longer than broad, the anterior sides forming 
an open angle, the posterior a very acute angle, the point 
being slightly rounded off. ‘The suture between the fronto- 
parietals measures at least half the length of the frontal. 
Interparietal of the same shape as the frontal, but smaller. 
Five supraorbitals, the anterior largest, but much shorter than 
the four others together ; the space between the supraorbital 
regions considerably wider than in Lipinia pulchella. Nasal
