176 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



angulated in cell ; centre of median area containing a large snow-white patch from 

 costa nearly to M 2 , narrow at its ends, wide in middle, a small round snow-white 

 spot at hindmargin and another in front of SM 2 ; discal dot rather large but not 

 very dark, olivaceous ; the distal band of median area mixed with reddish between 

 the radials and between M 2 and SM 2 ; apical area mostly reddish, the patch between 

 SC 4 and R 1 much paler ; the usual darkening between the radials confluent, mixed 

 black and dark red ; a large snow-white patch from R 3 to hindmargin, containing a 

 black submarginal spot behind M 2 , joined to an ill-defined grey subtornal one ; sub- 

 terminal line white, but chiefly indicated by dots in anterior half and by a greenish 



shade which follows it distally in posterior half. Hindwing dirty whitish, with 



darker cell-dot and interrupted dark terminal line. 



Underside similar to that of the lighter trajectata, a whitish patch distally to 

 the dark cell-spot of forewing ; an additional curved line on hindwing midway 

 between cell-dot and postmedian line.

M. Dognin had this species as grumata Feld. ; very easily recognisable by the 

 two large snow-white patches, one containing the olive cell-spot, the other the black 

 submarginal spot. 



57. Hammaptera leucoptera sp. nov. 



cj, 35 mm. Antennal ciliation minute (about one-fourth diameter of shaft). 

 Head and body light olive brownish ; palpus darker ; tegula greener; metathoracie 

 tuft glossy blackish ; abdomen dorsally with a pair of blackish spots at base, 

 afterwards indistinctly and irregularly dark-mottled and belted. 



Wings shaped and marked as in the jugurtharia group. Forewing light 



olive green, with the markings fuscous ; basal area with three somewhat crenulate 

 lines in its distal half, the outermost at 2 mm. from base; intermediate green area 

 with not very strong double line (slightly obscured by fuscous shades), right-angled 

 in the cell ; median band 5'5 mm. wide at costa, 4*5 mm. at hindmargin, mostly 

 fuscous-shaded, but with wavy darker fuscous lines traceable, three proximally, four 

 distally, the central space green anteriorly and posteriorly (in the type from costa to 

 M and from fold to hindmargin, in paratype more restricted); a small discal dot 

 touching the third anterior line; distal edge of the band indented on the veins, 

 slightly in bent opposite the cell and with two not very strong projections in middle,, 

 the anterior (behind R 3 ) the stronger ; the narrow pale band which follows the 

 median area is white in its proximal third, pale green in its distal two-thirds, 

 divided by a feebly darker green line and edged distally by a lunulate-dentate 

 fuscous one, which is thickest and darkest anteriorly ; subterminal line very pale 

 green, scarcely indicated except at costa, between radials and posteriorly, where it 

 is accompanied by darker shading; this shading, however, is weaker than in most 

 of the allies, excepting the radial, which is developed into two very conspicuous, 

 almost confluent spots proximally to the subterminal, the posterior the larger, and 

 two very small pointed spots distally to it ; anteriorly to the radial spots is a 

 slightly oblique whitish-blue smear; distal margin with paired fuscous spots, 

 followed by an extremely fine pale line ; proximal half of fringe otherwise mostly 

 green, distal half paler, the whole crossed by indistinct fuscous spots opposite the 



veins. Hindwing white, with a small cell-dot near the base, a small greyish 



cloud (about 4 mm. in length) from this to the inner margin ; termen with pairs
