26. Dysphania hyperedys sp. nov. 



<$ ¥ , 80-88 mm. Head and upperside of thorax deep purple, marked with 

 yellow on collar, patagia and tegulae. Breast yellow. Legs deep pnrple. Abdo- 

 men bright yellow, not banded; at base mixed with cream-colour above and with 

 pnrple beneath. 



Forewing not very narrow ; deep pnrple with the markings opaque, whitish 

 cream-colour, in part faintly suffused with purple ; a yellow spot at base of SC, 

 sometimes (especially in the single ? ) extended as a short line along the vein ; an 

 elongate median patch between SC and M (-R 3 ) extending 3 or 4 mm. proximally 

 and distally of the very large cell-spot; a small triangulär spot behind it (from 

 origin of M 1 to that of M 2 ), only separated from it by the purple median vein ; a 

 still smaller spot (sometimes almost obliterated) behind M' 2 and a long narrow patch 

 at middle of hindmargin, bounded in front by SM-, tapering to a point proximally ; 

 subterminal spots connected into a strongly sinuous line or very narrow band, or 



merely very slightly interrupted at M 1 . Hindwing with termen well rounded, 



only a little straighter from SC 2 about to R 2 , thus appearing slightly bent at SC 2 ; 

 deep purple at base, then with a very extended whitish-cream band, roughly oblong 

 but with a small anterior projection across SC to C ; cell-spot small or moderate, 

 generally touching the anterior margin of the whitish area; distal border deep 

 purple, from R 2 nearly to abdominal margin with a paler purple proximal suffusion 

 the contained cadmium-yellow band seldom interrupted, though always much con- 

 stricted at R 2 ; commencing in front of R 1 (sometimes at SC 2 ), well away from 

 termen, it suddenly widens at R 3 so as to touch termen, containing three or four 

 irregular interneural purple spots, that behind M 1 largest, that in front of M 1 

 moderate, the posterior 2 very small, the last sometimes obsolete ; fringe in pos- 

 terior half yellow, purple-spotted between the veins. 



Underside quite similar.

27. Agathia diplochorda sp. nov. 



<S, 40 mm. Face red, except at upper and lower edges strongly mixed with 

 black, lower edge whitish. Palpus reddish, third joint less short than in the 

 typical group. Vertex and antenna dull reddish ; occiput green. Thorax above 

 green, with a purple-brown spot in middle. Abdomen with crests exceedingly 

 slight and narrow ; dorsally yellow (discoloured from green ?), bounded on each 

 side by a thick, narrowing purple-brown line. 



Foreioing with termen almost straight, no bend at R 3 ; of the normal green 

 of the genus, the markings purple-brown, of about the same colour as in pisina 

 Butl., etc., namely : narrow costal and distal margins, the former slightly wider 

 from towards middle to near apex, the latter from R 2 to behind R 3 ; a small basal 

 patch, not reaching costa ; a slender single antemedian line, placed and shaped as the 

 double line of pisina ; a postmedian line from costal border at nearly four-fifths, 

 incurved between SC 5 and R 2 , excurved between R 2 and R 3 , here becoming double, 

 the two at first closely approximated and with slight pale purplish shade between 

 them, the proximal interrupted at the fold but reappearing, farther from the 

 distal, before SM 2 ; some yellow shading accompanying the postmedian line ; fringe 



yellow. Hindwing shaped about as in laetata F. ; green, with slender red-purple 



inner-marginal line reaching the base, double postmedian line, roughly the reverse
