EPIPHORA VERA, Sp. nov. 
¢. Head and legs old gold (XVI); head above mixed with a few 
burnt lake (XII) hairs; thorax above, a little over half of each 
abdominal segment, costal area of fore-wing to post-medial line, post- 
medial area to near costa, and the whole of post-medial area of 
hind-wing burnt lake, freely sprinkled with white hairs on the thorax 
and white scales on the wings; abdomen above ringed with white, 
last two segments almost entirely white, on the under-side the white 
rings are narrower and are crossed by eight white lines over the 
whole length; shaft of antenne mustard yellow (XVI), branches 
sulphine yellow (IV). 
Fore-wing with the costa somewhat concave, apex well rounded and 
much more produced than in #. mythimnia, outer-margin very concave 
between vein 4 to 6, from vein 4 straight to tornus, which is only a 
little rounded and the outer-margin forming almost a right angle to 
inner-margin which is straight ; inner-marginal area till two-thirds of 
inner-margin and up to lower-median and lower part of ocellus as far 
as vein 4, and a streak slightly indicated in the ocellus and continued 
till costa, white; anti-medial line indicated by a faint white patch 
from origin of vein 2 to upper-median ; ocellus sub-ovate, oblique, 
with the hyaline patch elongate kidney-shaped,and situated on costal 
side of ocellus; a black ring on outer-side of ocellus beginning and 
ending at post-medial white line beyond which it is continued as a 
bordeaux (XIT) line; from the black line at vein 3 a narrow, inwardly 
oblique, burnt lake line to near vein 2; inside the black hne and 
bordering the hyaline patch a line of white scales mixed with some 
green scales, this line is continued along outer half of hyaline patch, 
but is more faint and followed by a buff-yellow (IV) line; the 
remainder of the ocellus is filled up with dull yellow-green (X VIIT) 
with a slight indication of the post-medial line passing through it and 
with some buff-yellow scales where it is bordered by the bordeaux line; 
the post-medial white sprinkling goes as far as about half the width 
of the burnt-lake-coloured area and extends from inner-margin to the 
costa where the scaling becomes more dense and gradually gets a 
blue colour so as to form a costal pale amparo blue (IX) edging as 
far as sub-terminal line, below this costal blue area the apical- and 
outer-marginal area till near sub-terminal line and up to vein 8 filled 
with roman green (X VI) which becomes lighter at apical terminal part; 
a whitish-blue much dentated sub-terminal line from near apex till a
