 end of the '-cell, two streaks from the base along the inner 

 margin all white, and two rows of large white spots extend 

 from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin 

 and anal angle. Secondaries with a marginal row of large 

 white spots, above which is a row of small white streaks ex- 

 tending from the costal margin round the outside of the cell 

 to the inner margin above the anal angle. The underside of 

 both wings brown, with all the white markings as above, but 

 very much more distinct. The head, antenna?, thorax, abdo-

Chatamla antianira, sp. n. 



Primaries, the basal half bright yellow, the apical half
