Primaries, with the base and outer margin rich chocolate brown. T. a., 
deeply notched anteriorly in the center. T.p., with a tooth extending ‘out- 
wardly, the space between these lines being cream white, except on the costa, 
where there is a light brown spot. Orbic., obsolete. MReniform, distinct, 
ovate, dusky. Fringes, brown. 
Secondaries, blackish brown, with large white patch occupying the whole 
of the center of the wing, but not reaching to the anal margin. In this space 
near the base are some black scales. Fringes, white. 
Beneath, primaries largely white, with costa and base broadly blackish, and 
a very large and distinct black discal spot. Margins, blackish, widely so at 
apex. Secondaries, same as the upper side. 
Expanse of wings, 1.05 inch.

Melicleptria vaccinie, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Anarta vaccinie. Behr. MSS. 
Head and thorax, brown, with a few brown scales; abdomen, blackish brown, 
with the base of segments whitish. 
Primaries, light brown, with a golden tinge; base of the wing darker than 
the other portion. T.a., only moderately curved, very slightly dentate ante- 
riorly as it reaches the internal margin. Median shade, whitish, brown as it 
reaches the costa. Orbicular, almost obsolete. Reniform, large, distinct. 
T. p., whitish, bent considerably outwards near costa, nearly straight towards 
internal margin. Sub-term., sharply toothed in the middle; resting upon this 
line are four or five black dashes. Fringes, shining golden brown, with 
darker patches. 
Secondaries, black, with median white fascia, broadest behind the middle, 
but not reaching to the anal margin. Near the outer margin is a small white 
streak, suggesting a sub-marginal band. Fringes, white. 
Beneath, primaries black, reddish near costa, with broad median band, a 
kidney-shaped spot near apex, and anteriorly notched marginal band, all 
cream white. Secondaries, black, with a large space near the costa, reddish 
white, and a nearly oblong spot in center of wing, cream white. Behind this 
is also a small white spot. Fringes of both wings as in the upper side. 
Expanse of wings, 0.75.

Melicleptria fasciata, n. sp. Hy. Edwards. 
Primaries, fawn drab. Between t. a. and base, a slightly darker streak ex- 
tends along the internal margin, and more slightly along the median nervule. 
T. a., almost obsolete. Median space, whitish, forming with white fascia of 
secondaries an almost continuous band. Orbicular and reniform, white, dis- 
tinct. T. p., blackish, commencing very near the apex, then slightly bent 
inward, and straight as it reaches the outer margin; behind it a dark exter- 
nally toothed shade. Margin, whitish, with fringe a little darker.
