NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 191G. 21 



on principal veins, a bright yellow admixture between the radials ; base and a broad 

 costal border (as far as SC and R 1 ) olivaceous greyish, becoming somewhat browner 

 distally, dotted here and there with dark red-brown, small patches of this colour 

 also at extreme base, on close to the base and between C and SC 1 at two-sevenths, 

 the latter forming the beginning of the antemedian line; distal margin narrowly 

 violet-grey, the area between this and the postmedian line mainly concolorous with 

 costa, but more mixed with yellow (at least betweeu the radials proximally) and 

 bearing some coarse dark red-brown dots and spots ; antemedian line ill-defined 

 except anteriorly, bent in cell, then straight to hiudmargin at two-sevenths ; post- 

 median line scarcely discernible on pale costal area, arising at four-sevenths costa, 

 very strongly oblique outwards to R 1 , thence nearly vertical to behind R 3 , then 

 curving so as to become parallel with termen ; cell-mark black, somewhat elongate, 

 followed distally by a bright yellow patch (lunulate or approaching cordiform) ; 

 termen with small red-brown dots at vein-ends ; fringe yellow, deeper (more orange) 



proximally. Hindwing at extreme base pale, then orange (proximally mixed 



with rosy), then mixed pinkish-grey and yellowish to end of cell (at "abdominal 

 margin more orange), crossed by a curved orange line continuing the ante- 

 median of forewing and terminated by an elongate white discal mark, to which 

 follows immediately a curved orange median shade ; distal half mainly yellow 

 (more orange at abdominal margin), sparsely speckled with red-brown, an orange 

 postmediau shade from two-thirds abdominal margin about to R 3 , here nearer the 

 termen than at its commencement ; distal border, as on forewing, violet-grey, 

 separated from the yellow area by a vague orange shade; termen with an almost 

 continuous line of dark red-brown irroration ; fringe as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath nearly all clouded with purple, of two or three shades, the 

 basal part, except at costa, the brightest (almost rose-colour), proximal half (or 

 more) of costal area and an oblique, broadening shade from cell to tornns dark 

 purple-grey, apical area paler and vaguer purplish, being somewhat mixed with 

 olive-grey scales ; discal mark as above, the yellow spot beyond it much paler, 

 distally ill-defined; fringe yellow. Hindwing beneath mostly pale yellowish, costal 

 area to beyond one-half (with most of cell) rosy, distal border purplish, broadest 

 and darkest (pnrple-grey) apically ; fringe pale yellow.

 in coll. Tring Mus. 



Related to praegriseata AVarr. (Nov. Zool. xiv. 139). 



48. Chrysocraspeda eutmeta sp. nov. 



cf , 25 mm. Face white, tinged with red at edges. Palpus red on outer side. 

 Vertex and antennal shaft reddish. Thorax and abdomen cream-colour, mixed 

 with cinnamon on upperside. 



Forewing with apex rather sharp, termen oblique, especially from M 1 to toruus, 

 rather straight, tornns well marked ; cream-colour, with sparse, rather coarse cinna- 

 mon irroration ; costal edge cinnamon ; first line weak, forming an acute angle 

 outwards in cell (somewhat V-shaped), slender and obsolescent from M to hind- 

 margin, strongly oblique inwards; discal dot blackish; postmedian line dark brown, 

 strongly oblique outward subcostally (at nearly two-thirds), bent about R 1 , thence 

 fairly direct (slightly curved and sinuous) to hindmargin close to tornus ; a lighter 

 brown shade accompanying this line distally ; terminal line dark reddish, accom-
