402 COL. c. swiNHOE ON NEW [Nov. 5, 



as in P. laiicilin, but instead of being black with white bands, it is 

 white with black bands and is very much smaller ; in the fore wings 

 the white spot near the base of the hinder margin and the white 

 spot near the hinder angle are enlarged, and occupy the greater 

 portion of the lower half of the wing ; the white space near the base, 

 in some specimens, running upwards to and joining the white patch 

 at the end of the cell, leaving a blackish-brown costal, almost 

 straight, and a medial transverse sinuous central band; the long 

 white subapical spot or streak in P. laticilia is also represented in 

 this insect by a broad subapical white band, which in some speci- 

 mens curves inwards, and in one it curves outwards and joins the 

 fifth submarginal spot, counting from the apex. 



Hind wing as in P. laticilia, but all the black bands and spots 

 much smaller ; the black spot attached to the centre of the medial 

 band hiudwards is wanting ; and, in one specimen, the outwardly 

 dentated black discal band is represented by a curved series of black 

 spots ; both wings with a marginal series of pink spots, as in 

 P. atratus, but they are round and not angular as in that species, and 

 form a complete band on both wings ; thorax blackish brown ; head, 

 collar, and abdomen orange, abdomen with a dorsal band of black spots. 



Body below and legs blackish brown, abdomen with two rows of 

 pale yellow spots ; pattern of wings below same as above. 



Expanse of wings 'iy^- inches. 



Hab. Prome (Burmah). Four examples received from Mr. Noble ; 

 they differ somewhat from each other, but were all taken at Prome 

 in May 1887, and are evidently all of one variable species.

MiGOPLASTIS HAMFSONI, u. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 2.) 



Male and female. Antennae, head, thorax, and wings violaceous 

 fawn-colour. 



Hind whigs of the male yellowish, head with a central black dot 

 hindwards, thorax with a row of four black spots in front, a row of 

 three in the centre, and two middle spots hindwards, all surrounded 

 with yellow ; fore wings with two basal black spots, and both wings 

 with the veins paler, and with a broad pale median band, slightly 

 paler than the colour of the wing, but quite distinct, touching neither 

 costa nor hinder margin on the fore wings, and diffused, indistinct, 

 attenuated downwards on the hind wing ; the band looks just as if 

 so much colour had been rubbed off the wing ; cilia of both wings 

 grey ; abdomen above and below yellow, with a row of black spots 

 down the centre and on eacli side. 



Underside : wings as above ; antennae blackish towards the base ; 

 palpi black; body and legs same colour as the wings. 



The male differs from the female in having the hind wings exca- 

 vated hindwards, forming an acute point at the anal angle, and in 

 having these wings suffused with yellow. 



Expanse of wings 2 j% inches.
