64 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



not very sharply defined, crossing the discocellulars and partly obliterating the 

 cell-spot ; postmedian finely crenulate, strongest on the veins, accompanied distally 

 by a vague pale line, to which succeeds, at inner margin only, a further dark line ; 

 termen and fringe as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath much clouded with smoky fuscous as far as postmedian line, 

 most of the hindmargiu, however, remaining pale; cell-spot present ; ill-defined 

 terminal dark shading, narrowing to tornus, leaving a pale band from hindmargiu to 

 near costa. Hindwing beneath browner than above ; more irrorated with fuscous, 

 markings of npperside reproduced.

Near deformis Warr. (Noc, Zool. xiii. 148), except that its shape is normal and 

 that it has more markings ; also shows some points of agreement with junctilinea 

 Warr. {torn. cit. 149). 



133. Paralcis ochroneura sp. nov. 



(J, 43 mm. Face dark brown, paler beneath. Palpus blackish brown, 

 somewhat paler beneath. Vertex blackish brown. Antennal shaft pale, with 

 dark dots ; ciliatiou fully as long as diameter of shaft. Thorax above blackish 

 brown, beneath paler. Abdomen pale drab, with slightly darker lateral tufts ; 

 anal tuft rather strong. Hindtibia not dilated. 



Forewing glossy pale ochreous grey, irrorated with blackish-fuscous and with 

 shining blue-whitish, some costal strignlation and the principal veins pale ochreous; 

 a pale antemedian line, thickly but interruptedly dark-edged distally, from costa at 

 one-fourth, oblique outwards, strongly bent in cell, thence sinuous to beyond one- 

 fourth hindmargiu ; a large, roundish dark discal spot, finely traversed by blue- 

 whitish scales on the cross-vein ; a strongly dentate dark median line shortly 

 beyond and slightly curving round this spot ; a fine pale, somewhat crenulate 

 postmedian line before three-fourths, slightly bent at B 3 , accompanied proximally 

 by slight dark shading which expands into spots at the veins ; a very fine bluish- 

 white line near termen, zigzag in its posterior half, accompanied proximally by dark 

 spots between the veins ; fringe ochreous, mixed with fuscous, a fine whitish line 



at its base and some vague pale spots distally. Hindwing glossy grey, almost 



uniform, with faint traces of darker aud paler lines in its discal part and one or 

 two dark spots at abdominal margin near tornus ; fringe more ochreous. 



Both wings beneath glossy grey, with slight indications of darker discal spots 

 and with the fringe mixed with pale ochreous, especially proximally; forewing in 

 addition with costal edge slightly ochreous and with a very small pale ochreous 

 spot at apex.
