two prominent quadrate spots at the end of the cell of the 

 fore wings above, in the blackness of the cilia, and in the 

 very minute size of the spots. 



15. Teligonus lara, n. sp. 



Upperside dark reddish brown. Fore wings elongate, nar- 

 row, apex produced, pale brownish grey, outer border very 

 oblique ; three semihyaline spots, much as in T. thracc, Linn., 

 but comparatively much smaller, nearly white, very faintly 

 tinted with chrome-yellow. Hind wings without markings. 



Underside as above, but paler. 



Antennas white for one third before the hooked tip. 



Expanse of wings 2fV inches. 



Nicobar Islands. 



Allied to T. thrax, Linn. ; spots similarly placed, but of a 

 different colour ; the band on the antennas white instead of 

 yellow, and the apex of fore wing pale greyish instead of 

 brown. The insect is altogether much smaller, the fore wing 

 much produced, the outer margin being so very oblique as to 

 leave the hinder margin very short, measuring a trifle over 

 t^t of an inch.

This species has the general form and characters of S. intri-
