723. Phalaenoides butleri : n. sp. PI. v. f. 6. 



cJ 9 Antennas, palpi, head, body, and wing deep black, palpi, head, 

 and thorax with pale yellowish spots, abdomen rufous at the apex. 

 Fore-wings with some small pale yellow spots at the base, a larger 

 and squarish spot at the end of the cell, a still larger one below it 

 near hinder margin, two smaller spots close together, one above, 

 the other just inside the cell spot ; in some specimens one or other 

 of these two small spots is absent, a discal band like two large spots 

 joined together, somewhat like the discal band in A. ephyra^ but 

 more attenuated in its middle, a sub-marginal row of dots, and cilia 

 white at apex and hinder angle. Hind-wings with a large outwardly 

 curved central space, of the same pale yellow colour, cilia white at 

 apex and towards anal angle. Underside as above, but all the 

 inner spots of fore-wing wanting except the square one at end of 

 cell, abdomen with the apical half banded with rufous and legs with 

 patches of rufous hairs. 



Expanse of wings \\ inches.

Allied to A. ephyra (Angas), and to A. polysticta (Butler), the 

 deep black colouration above and below in some lights is covered 

 with a bronzy sheen ; from A. ephyra it differs in the absence of the 

 sub-basal band and second row of pale sub-marginal dots in fore- 

 wings, and in the much larger central yellow patch in hind-wing. 

 There are examples of this insect unnamed in B. M.
