straif^ht atul less distinct (except on veins) from M' to sub- 

 median fold, thence incurved nearly as in rupertnta ; some 

 dark fuscous and red-brown cloudinj;^ on and about R' on 

 either side of the postmcdiaii ; apex scarc.-ly |)aler than the 

 subapical patch. Hind wini; with antcmedian scanrely 

 double, the dark shade bihind it bcin<^ almost entirely ol)-io- 

 lete; postmcdian tine and ill-delined in costal half of winjif, 

 more distinct, and with thickened marks on the veins, in 

 inncr-marfjinal half, an;;led on radial fold (II''') and bent 

 inwards below, to lower an;^le of cell, as in fore win^. 

 Underside of fore win*^ with the dark costal sjiadinj; and 

 discal spot and the normal subapical patch, sotnctimes with 

 some weak dark subu)ar;;inal shading from this patch to 

 below M', and a weak curved line, darker-dotted on the veins, 

 from the proximal cdfje of the patch jjarallel with termen to 

 M-, some dark postmcdian cloudiii<; about R' ; underside of 

 hind winj; unmarked, or with a dark cell-spot.

Iridopsis w-notata, sp. n. 



cJ. 30-.3'J mm.; ? . 40-U mm.— Head (with face), 

 thorax, and abdomen whitish, mixed with fuscous, palpus more 

 strongly fuscous. Wings scarcely iridescent, whitish, dusted 

 with coarse fuscous atoms, and in the ^ more or less stroiifjlv 

 shaded with tawny brown on the veins, abjut the margin's 

 (especially in the middle of inner margin of fore wing), and 

 beyond the postmcdian of tore wing subipictlly, but without 

 the strong subapical pitch of the syrniaria group. Fore 

 wing with the antcmedian line as in most of the genus, 

 slender, grey, ilUlcHned, preceded by an ill-defined diffuse 

 shade, grey in the ? , more tawny in the cj, bjth line and 

 shade starting from dark spot> on costa, and closelv approxi- 

 mating p(;steriorly ; median line usually obsolescent except 

 for a (lark spot on costa above the cell-spot and another just 

 before mid ile of inner margin ; cell-spot hirge, roundish 

 dark grey ; postmcdian line from a dark spot on costa at 

 beyond two-thirds, forming a black W between SC' aiul R- 

 (with its base pointing diNtad), terminating abruptly imme- 

 diately below R- ami scarcely di->cernible in a few dark scales 

 beyond (which slunv that it follows nearly the same course as 

 in /. sijniiitrin), and a blackish comma ju>t l)eyon(l the middle 

 of inner margin ; subterminal pale line very indistinct, only 

 re.idcred visible by some accumulati'ju of the dar^ atoms
