.stalked on a long stalk from just in front of angle, 9 absent, 

 10 from the cell, 11 vising rapidly to 12 and shortly anastomosing 

 with it. Secondaries with vein 2 from well before the lower 

 angle, 3 and 4 on a short stalk from the angle, 5 from about the 

 middle of the discocellulars, 7 from just before the upper angle. 

 Type, Callictita cyara, B.-B. 



Callictita cyara, sp. n. (Plate VIII. fig. 1.) 



S . Primaries very dark brown, with a large subovate black 

 median patch whose edges are shot with purplish blue : this 

 spot is composed of differently placed scales, as in the African 

 genus Urcmothauma Btl., only in a different position, and I 

 should expect it to be sexual. Fringes brown. Secondaries 

 white, slightly creamy, with a very broad blackish costa and 

 somewhat less broad blackish termen, base veiy restricted black, 

 Fringes tessellated black and white. — Under side. Both wings 

 white with brown markings. Primaries with base brown except 

 for a white costal dash, a broad outwardly oblique irregular 

 median band, a broadish postmedial band to vein 2 curved and 

 slightly tapering ; termen very broadly brown. Secondaries with 

 base and inner margin brown, the base having, as it were, two 

 sharply rectangular steps in it, inner margin obscurely marked 

 with whitish ; termen broadly bu^t irregularly brown, with a 

 black marginal spot between veins 2 and 3 and at the angle 

 edged above with metallic blue, a short tail at vein 2, An 

 'isolated quadrangular spot in the middle of the costa. 



Expanse 30 mm. 



Hah. Owgarra ; Angabunga River, 6000 feet. 



Type in my collection, other specimens in the Tring Museum. 



I have a single specimen from Owgarra ; but there is a series 

 from the Angabunga River, a small tributary of the larger 

 St. Joseph River.

Palpi upturned, second segment thickly scaled, with long hairs,

 and frons thickly haired ; eyes hairy. Legs smooth, mid tibise 

 Avith a short pencil of hairs on the inner side at the femoral joint. 

 "Wings — Primaries with costa strongly arched, termen slightly 

 rounded at apex, and tornus almost excavated between veins 3 

 and 6. Wings broad. Secondaries with termen straight from below 

 vein 7 to vein 4. — Neuration. Primaries with vein 2 from beyond 

 the middle of the cell, 3 from just before the lower angle, 4 from 

 the lower angle, 5 from above the middle of the discocellulars, 

 6 and 7 on a very short stalk from the upper angle in the male ; 

 in the female 6 from the angle, 7 from the cell, 8 stalked from 7 

 from near the apex, 9 and 10 absent, 11 with a minute bar to 12.
