 colour. 



3. Astictoptertjs gemmifer, n. sp. Chocolate-brown ; primaries with a broad post- 

 median bright orange band; end of cell and apical area of primaries and disk of 

 secondaries spotted, in certain lights, with shining amethyst-coloured spots. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 6 lines. S ? , Malacca (5 examples).

 male of A. xanites. It is also smaller.

 late-brown. Below irrorated, particularly at apex of primaries, with bronzy golden 

 scales ; internal area of primaries whity-brown ; a small white spot at the end of the 

 cell in all the wings, and a small dull white spot close to the middle of the submedian 

 vein of secondaries ; body below pale brown ; palpi clothed with golden hair-scales ; 

 antennae black above, yellow below. Expanse of wings 1 inch. S , Malacca (2 examples). 

 The under surface of this species reminds one of Cyclopides salsala of Moore.
