8. Actinote sodalis, n. sp. 



Allied to A. amida, but the basal half (almost to external 

 angle) of primaries rose-red ; the subapical band shorter, more 

 oblique, and considerably narrower ; secondaries jet-black to 

 the base ; abdomen spotted with orange; primaries below with 

 the red areas precisely as above, the band being coloured like 

 the basal area, the ground-colour yellowish instead of red-

 2 lines.
