dark cell-spot, terminal blackish shading, chequered fringe and post- 

 medial streak and medial spot on costa ; fore wing also with black spot 

 behind apex as above. 

 ? , 39 mm. 



Paler green and less contrasted than the S (but in less fresh con- 

 dition), the lines less distinct; obliquely suffused with brownish from 

 base of costa and subbasal streak to hindmargin between antemedial 

 and postmedial lines, and posteriorly to postmedial line from M 2 to 

 hindmargin.

 Mountains, 6,000 feet, November-December, 1920, $• holotype ; Decem-

A $ in coll. Tring Mus. agreeing with the $ from Kunupi bears the 

 name sticticata Warr., but this appears never to have been published. 



5. Bisoba diphtheropsis sp. nov. (pi. XIII, fig. 5). 

 3 , 38 — 44 mm. 



Head black with large yellowish-white tufts above palpi and 

 beneath antennal shafts ; palpus black, the segments broadly edged 

 with yellowish-white ; thorax and patagia yellowish-white with a 

 number of broad black dividing lines ; abdomen yellowish- white above 

 with a broad black dorsal streak (broadening at the divisions of 

 segments), the small crests on middle segments yellowish-white ; some 

 black-edged lateral tufts (not usual in Bisoba) ; anal tuft yellowish- 

 white ; body beneath and legs predominantly black, abdomen with a 

 white medio-ventral streak, legs with pale bands or rings. 



Fore wing yellowish-white with a latticing of irregular black lines — 

 superficially recalling the genus Dipthera. Two broad subbasal lines 

 from costa to M, approaching at middle and sometimes meeting to form 

 a cross, becoming very indefinite behind M ; two somewhat similar 

 antemedial lines, but further apart, connected by bars before and behind 

 SC, not forming a cross, continued as a single line behind M ; an 

 irregular (slightly variable) lattice-work of lines about end of cell, 

 leaving a black-ringed white discal spot ; a black bar from costa beyond 

 discal spot ; postmedial line double, united by bars on the veins, bent 

 outward from about two-thirds costa, nearly erect from SC 5 to R 3 , 

 inwardly oblique to behind M 2 and erect to three-fifths hindmargin ; 

 an extra line just beyond postmedial and a rather heavy subterminal 

 line, bent inward to unite with the angle of the extra line from SC 5 to
