Hindwing with termen almost evenly rounded, tornus prominent ; costal margin 

 coloured like forewing, the rest mostly shaded with cinnamon ; a rather large, pure 

 white discal mark, with a very short projection along R 2 , thus somewhat hammer- 

 head-shaped ; a large smoky clond distally to this ; termen and fringe nearly as on 

 forewing-. 



Both wings beneath paler, with the markings rnnch fainter than above, the-

49. Chrysocraspeda semiocellata sp. nov. 



<?, 24 mm. Head and body dull purple; the body pale brown beneath and at 

 tip of abdomen. 



Forewing broad, apex acute, termen bluntly bent at R 3 , very faintly curved 

 anteriorly, almost straight posteriorly ; dull purple, mixed of browner and purpler 

 shades, and with blackish irroratiou, becoming redder purple against the yellow 

 border ; markings vague, formed of condensation of the dark irroratiou ; antemedian 

 Hue from costa beyond one-fourth, very oblique outward, then strongly bent and 

 curving so as to run obliquely inward to one-fourth hindmargin ; longitudinal dark 

 clouding between this line and postmediau, just behind middle of wing ; post- 

 median from scarcely beyond middle of costa, extremely oblique outward to R 3 , 

 then curving so as to become progressively less oblique, but becoming obsolete 

 about M 1 not far from termen ; termen for about - 5 mm. width cadmium yellow, 

 the ground-colour forming minute outward teeth on the veins and running out 



obliquely at extreme apex and at tornus ; fringe cadmium yellow. Hindwing 



with termen almost evenly rounded; markings black; antemedian line close to 

 base ; coarse black irroration in almost the entire region between this and the 

 postmedian ; discal dot white, broadly black-ringed ; postmedian line from middle 

 of costa, broken into spots, strongly excurved, near inner margin incurved ; termen 

 and fringe as on forewing.
