kind permission to describe the species given me by Professor 
Karsch, I find satisfaction in applying to it his name, in 
grateful appreciation of the kindness shown me during my

&. The front, collar, and thorax are deep black, with the 
usual spots on the top of the head, the collar, and the patagia. 
These light-coloured spots are white on the head and greenish 
yellow on the collar and the patagia. The abdomen is 
ochreous, shading into brown at the tip, and obscurely marked 
with brown bands on the lower side of each annulus. The

black, with the larger spots yellow (distinctly pale Naples 
yellow), and the smaller spots at the base iridescent greenish 
yellow. ‘The fringes of the primaries are white at the apex 
and of the secondaries white throughout. ‘The secondaries 
are heavily clothed with long hairs on the inner margin, and 
the basal tract is marked by a couple of streaks of deep black 
running outwardly parallel to the veins. The underside is 
much as the upperside so far as the markings are concerned, 
but the light-coloured portions of the secondanies are distinctly 
of a reddish-ochreous cast.
