83. Dismorphia Broomece, sp. n. 



S . Allied to D. egaena, but the longitudinal trifid streak 

 on the primaries divided by the median vein bright fiery 

 orange, more sharply defined than in D. amphione ; the 

 oblique postmedian band bright yellow, washed in the centre 

 with bright orange, the discocellular black marking crescentic, 

 the last division of the band completely separated, forming an 

 elongated oval spot ; the three subapical spots forming a 

 regular oblique series, smaller and more widely separated 

 from the postmedian band than in D. egaena, but less so than 

 in D. amphione ; the white patch on the secondaries purer 

 than in D. egaena and the oblique belt from abdominal 

 margin bright fiery orange. 



The female differs from that sex of 1). egaena in its alto- 

 gether brighter colouring (more like that of I), amphione), in 

 the narrower tawny-washed oblique band on the primaries, 

 with small discocellular black spot and divided terminal 

 yellow spot.
