extremity of joints. Abdomen somewhat variegated (ochreous brown, olivaceous 

 and fuscous), with a dark dorsal patch on second segment. 



Farewing glossy pale olive-green, the markings deeper olive-green with, a 

 fuscous admixture ; basal patch scarcely over 1 mm., its edge tolerably direct ; a 

 narrow, ill-defined baud between this and the central fascia, connected with the 

 latter by some diffuse shading behind cell ; some slight dark shading in cell 

 proximal to central fascia; central fascia rather narrow (little over 2 mm., nar- 

 rowing at hindmargin), its proximal edge irregularly crenulate and slightly concave, 

 its distal very bluntly angled outwards before R 1 , weakly inbent at R 2 , slightly 

 bilobed before and behind M 1 , slightly crenulate posteriorly ; a lavender-coloured 

 smear on this band, commencing at its distal edge between the medians, curving 

 proximad and hindwards, to end in its proximal part about the fold ; a fine white 

 line edging the band distally ; a triangular costal patch anterior to the almost 

 obsolete subterminal line, continued as a dark, proximally white-edged line between 

 the radials : a much vaguer dark shade opposite it at hindmargin, slightly mixed 

 with lavender and white; ground-colour very slightly darkened distally to the sub- 

 terminal; no definite terminal line. Hindwing glossy bright ochreous, unmarked. 



Forewing beneath as far as the postmedian line mostly iufuscated, with indi- 

 cations of crenulate lines ; distally ochreous, with crenulate dark lines indicated 

 in anterior half, one corresponding to the triangle and line of the ujjperside distinct. 

 Hindwing beneath ochreous, with two crenulate, rather ill-defined lines in distal 

 half, both bending basewards near costa; faint indications of another at costa about 

 middle of wing.

69. Horisme illustris sp. nov. 



c??, 27-30 mm. Face whitish. Palpus long (over twice diameter of eye), 

 second joint with long-projecting scales, third joint elongate, smooth ; dark browu 

 on outer side. Vertex pale brown, sometimes dark-mixed. Thorax above mostly 

 dark brown, beneath with a whitish spot in front. Abdomen above with a pale belt 

 at base, otherwise mixed with russet and dark brown ; beneath without russet. 

 Legs mostly dark, with slight pale spots at ends of joints. 



Forewing with term en slightly curved, rather strongly oblique ; glossy ; basal 

 patch dark brown, darkest distally, edged by a fine, curved, slightly crenulate 

 whitish line ; a less dark, quite ill-defined band in the succeeding area, narrowing 

 posteriorly; median band about 5 mm. wide at costa, about 3 - 5 mm. at hindmargin, 

 its proximal edge angled about fold, running obliquely inwards to hindmargin, its 

 distal edge irregularly crenulate, indented at SC 5 , somewhat lobed behind R 3 and 

 more slightly behind M 1 , oblique inwards to M 2 ; ochraceous, overlaid with dark 

 lines and clouding proximally, especially in anterior part, and with similar darkening 

 distally at costa only, a narrow pale space in middle of interior half containing the 

 elongate black cell-mark ; very narrow whitish bands proximally and distally to 

 the median band, each traversed by a weak, interrupted dark thread ; distal area 

 brown, traversed proximally to the subterminal line by crenulate dark lines ; sub- 

 terminal line luuulate-dentate, whitish, slightly dusky where it traverses a darkened 

 cloud about the radials; this darkened cloud runs obliquely to the apex, bounded 

 anteriorly by an oblique whitish line which cuts the subterminal ; termen with 

 pairs of large dark dots; fringe slightly darker proximally than distally, and
