in that case far narrower — almost linear — and which further differs in 

 having the cellspot of the hind wing always sharply marked above,

20. Amnemopsyche charmione luflra Prout. 



Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (9) v. 292 (1920). 



We figure on pi. XVIII, fig. 1, the type $ of this already described

21. Zamarada hero sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 23). 



$ , 30 mm. 



Head pale ochreous-brown with dark irroration. Antenna pec- 

 tinate to a little beyond middle, with moderate branches ; pale brown, 

 with dark spots. Thorax above violet-grey with brown irroration. 

 Abdomen above with the brown preponderating ; first segment with a 

 white spot ; third and fourth with very pale yellowish ones. Body 

 beneath, with legs, pale yellowish-brown. Abdomen beneath anteriorly 

 hairy ; hind femur with longish light hair, tibia short and thick, with 

 long dense hair-tuft predominantly blackish, posteriorly becoming pale 

 and less long. 



Fore wing elongate (nearly as in melpomene Oberth., Et. Lep. vi., 

 t. 152, fig. 1460) ; pale subdiaphanous green, almost free from dark 

 speckling, except on a part of hind margin; costal margin brown, with 

 metallic blue-grey irroration, which is strongest proximally ; celldot 

 small ; distal border 4"5 mm. wide anteriorly, 2 mm. at M 1 , the 

 sinus obliquely bounded from R 3 to near M 1 and curving so gently 

 posteriorly as to form no appreciable angle at M 2 ; the proximal 

 boundary-line black, very finely edged proximally with yellow and 

 distally edged with metallic-bluish irroration ; border largely violaceous, 

 at apex paler and browner, at distal margin posteriorly with ill-defined 

 spots of the same ; subterminal line yellowish-white, broad and deeply 

 dentate from SC 4 to R 3 , then obsolete, reappearing behind M 2 as a 

 broad subtornal streak, similar to that of melpomene ; bright red-brown 

 triangles and line proximal to the subterminal ; terminal line fine, 

 black ; fringe ochreous, with dark spots opposite the veins. Hind 

 wing similar. 



Underside with costal margins brighter ochreous-brown, distal
