Fam. LiTHOSiiD.^. 



7. Hyps A -WOOD FORD I, n. sp. (Plate XIII. fig. 2.) 

 Primaries deep purple-brown, creamy white from the base to the 



middle of the costal and inner margins, but not extending so far from 

 the base on the inner margin, the outer edge of the creamy white 

 colour is formed into a series of half-circles edged with bluish black, 

 four bluish-black spots close to the base, two on the costal margin 

 and below the last spot on the costal margin, round the spots are 

 some bright orange markings extending from the base, a small white 

 dot beyond the end of the cell, and a large round cream-coloured 

 spot close to the outer margin just above the anal angle. Secondaries 

 creamy white, with a large black spot at the apex, a second round 

 black spot on the outer margin nearest the anal angle, and a small 

 dot close to the anal angle. Underside creamy white, with the dark 

 markings as above, but not quite so much marked on the primaries, 

 the basal spots being very indistinct. Head, thorax, and the abdomen 

 bright orange, a bluish-black spot on each of the tegulse, one at the 

 base of the thorax, and a central row on the abdomen all black ; the 

 underside of the abdomen creamy white, with a row of bluish spots 

 on each side ; legs white banded with black ; antennae black ; palpi 

 bright orange tipped with black. Expanse 2| inches. 



I have much pleasure in naming this vtry fine species after its 

 captor, Mr. C. M. Woodford; it is very distinct from any other 

 known to me.
