11. Pardaleodes astrape, sp. n. 



cJ . Upperside of body fulvous, more or less clothed with 

 greenish hairs. Underside of palpi and thorax greenish grey. 

 The prevalent colour of the outer half of the anterior wing is 

 deep black and of the basal half tawny. The base is more or 

 less clothed with greenish hairs. There is a black longitu- 

 dinal ray in the cell and another just below it at its outer 

 extremity. At the end of the cell there is a double trans- 

 lucent orange-yellow spot, a similar smaller spot below the 

 apex, and two larger spots located upon the median inter- 

 spaces just below and beyond the cell. The posterior wing- 

 is bright orange-yellow, with the costal margin broadly and 

 the inner margin and the outer margin from the outer angle 

 to the first median nervule narrowly black. The fringe is 

 orange. Underside : The anterior wing is honey-yellow from 

 the base to the apical region. The apex and outer margin 

 are broadly ferruginous. The translucent spots of the upper 

 surface reappear. Below the cell near the base there is a 

 heavy black ray, below this a large sagittate lemon-yellow 

 spot with the point toward the base, and covering the middle 

 of the inner margin ; this spot and the two translucent spots 

 above it are shaded externally by clouded black markings, 

 deepest in colour at the outer angle. The posterior wing is 

 uniformly orange-yellow, paler than the upperside and without 

 markings, save that the margin from the outer angle to the 

 first median nervule is narrowly margined with pale brown, 

 and just where this marginal shade terminates there are two 

 small submarginal brown spots.

12. Pardaleodes xanihioides^ sp. n. 



$. Resembling Carystus'^ xantJiius^ Mab., but fully one 

 third smaller in size. The markings are as in xanthius, but 

 at the base of the primaries near the inner margin there is a 

 broad yellow ray with a round black spot near its extremity, 

 and the black margin of the secondaries is more even and the 

 yellow enclosed area rounded on the side of the costa, and not 

 nearly straight, as in xanthius. Upon the underside the 



* I find that the neuration and the structure of the palpi and antennae 

 of Carystus xanthius, Mab., and of the present species do not diiier appre- 

 ciably from Parduleodes , While xanthins is a much larger insect than 

 any other species of Pardaleodes known to me, it certainly is not a 

 Carystus.
