inner ring of both ocelli pale-ochreous. A subrnarginal silvery line 

 and an antemarginal brown line as in osyris.

5. Hypocysta tenuisquamosa sp. nov. 



Distinct from any other in the genus, almost forming another group. 

 The eyes are hairy. The hind wing with vein 6 given off at a distance 

 from 7 about equal to the distance between 4 and 5 ; upper discocellular 

 more oblique, lower discocellular at right angles to middle d.c. 



$ ? . Upperside of fore wing with margins narrowly scaled with 

 fuscous, submedian area thinly scaled with fuscous, rest of wing covered 

 v/ith minute hairs, with a sparse sprinkling of scales. The wing shows 

 a green and purple iridescence in certain lights. Hind wing pattern 

 somewhat as in aroa Beth.-Bkr. The white area does not reach the 

 base, upper edge crossing cell, ill-defined, outer edge in line with disco- 

 cellulars and shaded with fuscous scaling, lower edge from vein 5 to 

 inner margin, incurved and sharply defined. A well-marked black 

 ocellus in cellule 2 near margin, having a white centre dot and a faint 

 brownish ring. 



Underside of fore wing as above. Hind wing with white area 

 sharply defined, anteriorly with a curved spur to the costa before apex, 

 outer edge incurved to vein 5, then rounded to middle of cellule 3, with 

 lower edge nearly straight to inner margin. A large apical ocellus, 

 black with white centre dot, a smaller white distal dot and yellow- 

 brown ring. A smaller ocellus in cellule 2, black with white centre 

 dot, a thin yellow-brown ring edged with black, and an outer ring of 

 metallic silvery-blue extending into cellules lc and 3. A thick ante- 

 marginal silvery- blue line from above the apical ocellus to the second 

 submedian. 



Head, thorax, abdomen and appendages marked as in other forms 

 of Hypocysta.

6. Platypthima dispar sp. nov. 



Allied to euptychioides J. and T. from the Wandammen Mountains, 

 and easily distinguished by the large ocellus in cellule 3 of the hind 

 wing below. P. euptychioides occurred together with dispar.
