extremity of the upper radial ; posterior angle definite and 

 obtuse : posterior wings with the extremity of the first branch 

 of the median nervnre prolonged into an obtuse, and the third 

 branch into an acute projection ; anterior wings brown, with 

 three bluish-white spots between the extremity of the cell and 

 the outer margin : posterior wings brown at the base, black at 

 the extremity, an irregular tawny spot at the anterior angle ; 

 posterior angle with a succession of three blue spots across the 

 wing, that between the second and third branches of the me- 

 dian nervure whitish in the middle. Underside brown ; a 

 curved black band crosses both wings from the anal angle of 

 the posterior wings to the extremity of the cell of the anterior; 

 another, parallel line between this and the base of the wings : 

 between these lines on the anterior wings is a median black 

 line crossing the cell ; all these lines have whitish outer 

 margins gradually separating into freckles, so as to give the 

 under surface a mottled appearance : outer margin of both 

 wings deep tawny, a conspicuous black spot between the angle 

 of the costal and subcostal nervures of the posterior wings. 

 Antennae brown.

The specimen from which our description is taken is in bad 

 condition, but is sufficiently perfect to enable us to point out 

 the remarkable characters of this conspicuous species. We 

 are not aware that it has any near ally. 



6. Oressinoma sorata. 



cJ. Exp. 2'2. Like 0. typhla^ Klug, but differs in being 

 larger, the posterior wings much more elongated at the anal 

 angle, the anterior wings more angulated, and the outer mar- 

 gin straighter ; the white band which crosses both wings is 

 narrower and straighter ; the indistinct submarginal markings 

 of 0. typhla are replaced by distinct white lunules on the 

 hinder wings, and by a straight whitish line on the anterior 

 wings ; on the underside the buff submarginal edging of the 

 posterior wings is less abruptly sinuated, and the white band 

 has a dark inner margin.

7. Acrcen testacea, 



^ . Exp. 1*9. Both wings sooty, the nervures being rather 

 darker; the anterior wings between the costal and median 

 nervures, and almost as far as the end of the cell, brick-red ; 

 an oblique band of the same colour beyond the cell reaches
