156 - Myr. A, G. Butler on 
first just before the middle, transverse, slightly wider in front 
than behind; the second discal, its imner edge extending 
from the inner margin close to external angle to the apical 
third of costa; these bands are limited internally by nearly 
straight blackish lines ; the first is also bounded externally by 
an irregularly-undulated line, but the second band has a dif- 
fused outer margin *: secondaries with the submedian vein, 
the median vein with its branches, and a very broad external 
border occupying half the wing black; the rest of the wing 
bright orange-ochreous, paler upon the costal border: head 
and thorax greyish olivaceous, with chocolate-brown patches 
on each side behind ; abdomen dark purplish brown, with the 
three basal segments orange at the sides, and the remaining 
segments with orange lateral tufts; anal tuft deep orange. 
Wings below chocolate-brown : primaries with a small basal 
ochreous patch: secondaries with the basiabdominal third 
bright ochreous, but with brown anal margin ; three parallel 
dark-brown lines from costa to submedian vein, across the 
centre of the wing: palpi and front of pectus white, remainder 
of pectus pale ochreous; venter ochreous, with triangular 
ferruginous patches on each side; anal tuft bright ochreous. 
Expanse of wings 56 millim.

The example in our collection from New Iveland is larger, 
measuring 64 millim. in expanse. 
37. Macroglossa calescens, sp. n. 
_ Primaries above dark purplish brown, mottled with seri- 
ceous grey; a rather ill-defined black band forking above the 
median vein before the middle, and two parallel trisinuate 
dark-brown lines across the disk : secondaries bright saffron- 
yellow, with two basal patches below the median vein, and a 
very broad external border, abruptly tapering at anal angle, 
but occupying about half the wing, dark purplish brown: 
head and thorax greyish olivaceous, with a sprinkling of 
ash-grey scales, dark reddish brown behind; abdomen dark 
laky brown, with metallic-green scales along the posterior 
margins of the segments, the three basal segments with deep- 
orange lateral patches; lateral margins of segments blood-red. 
Primaries below dark purplish brown, gradually shading into 
blood-red towards the external border, which is irregularly 
black-brown ; extreme base ochreous: secondaries deep 
* A specimen in the collection from New Iveland, presented by Messrs. 
Salvin and Godman, shows no trace of the blackish lines; but it is some- 
what worn, and may have lost them.
