422 Col. C. Swinlioe on some new 



The origins of veins 4 and 5 of the fore wings are more 

 separated than is usual in the genus, and veins 6 and 7 of 

 the hind wings are on rather a long stalk ; it otherwise 

 somewhat resembles L. siJheiica, but is smaller, has the apex 

 of fore wings blunter, and has a black cell-spot, which the 

 other species has not. 



Family Thyrididse. 

 10. Hypolamprus tessellata, nov. 



(J $ . Wings elongated ; fore wings narrow, apex acute, 

 semifalcate, outer margin excised from apex to vein 4, from 

 whence it is straight and very oblique, the hinder margin 

 being only two thirds the length of the costa ; hind wings 

 with the apex very acute and produced to a point, outer 

 margin nearly straight. 



Colour greyish white ; a brown spot on the top of the 

 liead; thorax suffused with brown, abdomen with pale brown 

 segmental lines : fore w ings with the upper half suffused 

 with pale brown ; a black spot at the lower end of cell, 

 joined by a line to a smaller spot at the upper end, the upper 

 half striated closely with brown marks, the lower half and 

 the whole of the hind wings tessellated with continuous 

 striations running parallel to each otlier from the abdominal 

 margin of the hind wings to the costa, continued on the fore 

 wings from the outer portion of the hinder margin to the 

 lower half of the outer margin, and running througii these 

 tessellations are two parallel white lines, medial and discal 

 on the hind wings, submarginal and marginal on the fore 

 wings ; a black spot at the end of the cell of hind wings.

<J . Much like the common S. retorta, Linn., but the discal 

 line across the fore wings which limits the dark part of the 

 wing and cuives round the ocellus in retorta is much nearer 

 the middle of the wing and cuts through the outer ring of 

 the ocellus, and the scarlet crimson on the abdomen is much 

 more limited. 



? . Very different fiom the female of retorta; the general 

 colour is purplish tinged, instead of ochreous; the outer black 

 ring of the ocellus touches the white ring; the discal white
