There Is a pmall clear white spot at tlie end of the cell and a 

 central indistinct band of shades reaching from the apex to 

 the centre of vein 2. On the hind wing there is a narrow 

 central brown line reaching from about the centre of the costa 

 to tiie centre of the dorsum. Cilia concolorous with wings, 

 excepting on the dorsum of hind wings, where it is brown. 

 Head grey ; tiiorax clothed witli blue hairs ; abdomen

May possibly prove to be the female of the previously 

 described Aslauga cephrcn, with which it agrees in venation, 

 but the underside is entirely different, and the dorsum of the 

 hind \ving, although distinctly concave, is not so to the same 

 extent, and the anal angle is more a blunt point than a lobe. 



Aslauga (?) pandora, sp. n. 



? . Upperside : both wings uniform dark brown without 

 markings. The costa of the fore wing is very narrowly and 

 the cilia of both wings are reddish brown. The underside is 

 pale brown, thickly sprinkled with dark brown scales and 

 with a central, rather narrow, brown band, with indistinctly 

 defined borders common to both wings and extending from 

 the apex of the fore wing to about the middle of the dorsum 

 of the hind wing. The dorsum of the fore wing is narrowly 

 clear of tiie dark brown scales. Cilia of both wings brown. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen brown above and below. An- 

 tennai reddish brown. Legs brown, with white markings. 

 Palpi cream, with brown scales and brown terminal joint. 

 There is a white dot at the end of the cell in both wings. 

 The apex of the fore wing is produced to a narrow point and 

 the lower half of the dorsum of the hind wing is strongly 

 concave, almost touching vein 1, after which it curves strongly 

 outwards, so that the dorsum may be described as sickle- 

 shaped. 



Expanse 64 mm.

I have placed this insect provisionally in the genus 

 Aslauga, not knowing where to place it, and hoping that 

 Mr. 2seave will soon procure the male.
