Expanse of wings ly^o i'lch. 

 Padang, Sumatra; one example. 



Siii)er(iciallj resembles D. punctata, Moore, which I have 

 from Java. 



Diacrisia amilada, nov.* 



cJ . Palpi and frons black ; autennse greyish white ; head, 

 thorax, and fore wings brownish buff, spots and bands on tlie 

 latter black; a basal spot, a spot near the hinder margin at 

 the middle, another above it, and then in continuation five 

 small spots in a line obliquely inwards to the costa ; three 

 bands of paired linear marks divided by the veins, the first 

 from the hinder margin a little beyond the middle obliquely 

 to the costa a little before the apex, the second running 

 almost parallel, starting a little before the hinder angle, the 

 third close to the outer margin, the second spot of the row 

 being absent : hind wings pale ])ink, a large black spot at 

 the end of the cell and a discal band composed of two large 

 black spots in the lower disk and two in the upper; cilia of 

 both wings ochreous grey, with black spots on the upper 

 third ; abdomen pale pink, with dorsal and lateral rows of 

 black spots. Underside : wings paler, hind wings nearly 

 white, markings much as above, except for a large black 

 lunular spot at the end of the cell of the fore wings ; fore 

 legs scarlet, hind legs grey, all with blackish stripes. 



Expanse of wings 1/^ inch. 



Padang, Sumatra ; one example. 



$ . Palpi and antennae dark orange-colour ; frons white, 

 with an orange spot ; head and thorax white, bands on each 

 side of the thorax scarlet : fore wings white, bands scarlet; 

 a subbasal, rather thin, sinuous band not reaching the hinder 

 margin ; a broad antemedial band slightly bent inwards in 

 the middle, with a thick black line on its inner side; a large 

 black spot at the end of the cell ; a postmedial erect band as 

 broad as the other, with a thick black line on its outer side 

 which slightly curves inwards above its middle; a marginal 

 scarlet band of somewhat lesser width : abdomen and hind 

 wings pinkisli ochreous without markings; cilia of both wings 

 yellow. 



* This I expect is the insect identified by Piepers and Snellen in their 

 list of Javau Lepidoptera as D.casigneta, Kollar, a Palaearctic species 

 not unlike it in general appearance, but quite a diiierent Insect with black 

 antenna?.
