NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE SXUt. 191Ö. 213 



are large, but the middle one of the three of the inner line is smaller and yellowish, 

 as in australiata, with which in all other respects it agrees. 

 1 3 from Little Kei Island (H. Kühn). 



14. Gabala sanguinata spec, no v. 



Foreiving with basal area bright scarlet, containing numerous minute yellow 

 dots and striae ; the subbasal line a brown patch on costa with a curved line from it 

 to median vein ; the inner line represented by three small silvery white spots in 

 a straight line ; the rest of wing dark snuff-brown along the basal and costal 

 markings, and narrowly along termen, the included quadrate space being dull 

 crimson dappled with dull yellow ; costa with a large yellow triangle at middle 

 and four shallow lunules before apex ; the whitish spots in the subapical blotch 

 reduced and narrow ; the group before middle of termen represented by a single 

 white dot; fringe yellow, very slightly marked with brown at apex, tornus, and 



vein 5. Hindwing whitish at base, yellow in outer half, with some crimson 



scales along termen forming an undefined spot at the tail. 



1 8 from Java. 



15. Gabala flavimargo spec. nov. 



Resembles the preceding species sanguinata in having the subbasal line 

 represented by a curved brown mark from costa ; the basal area is larger, formed of 

 yellow spots with fine red reticulations, the outer three being large, the middle one 

 yellowish and the two outer silvery white ; the rest of the wing snuff-brown with 

 rows of reddish yellow spots separated by waved brown lines and veins ; a single 

 white dot before termen at vein 5 ; fringe yellow, marked with brown at apex, 

 tornus, and vein 5, the termen itself both above and below vein 5 being narrowly 

 and irregularly yellow also ; hindwing pale yellow, whiter at base ; a reddish 

 cloud on termen at end of vein 2 below the tail. 



1 c?, 1 ? from Dili, Timor, taken May 1892 by W. Doherty. 



16. Gabala hilaris spec. nov. 



Agrees with the last species in having the termen of forewing narrowly yellow, 

 as well as the fringe ; but the ground-colour is much paler, being a mixture of 

 pale brown, yellow, and pink ; the basal area yellow, tinged and divided into spots 

 by orange-red, the outer spots also yellow, more or less confluent and bounded by 

 an orange-red line, followed on costa by the usual triangle and on inner margin by 

 an isolated small round yellow spot ; the brown area bounding the basal and costal 

 markings is quite pale, followed by a broad area from inner margin to vein 6 

 of dull pink containing at top a small black dot; the termen itself is narrowly 

 purplish red-brown before the yellow, and is preceded by an orange-yellow space 

 traversed by orange-red lines ; before the termen at vein 5 are two silvery white 

 spots ; the white spots of the subapical group are oblong, separated by orange-red 

 scaling, and more or less confluent with the yellow costa : hindwing yellowish, with 

 the termen flushed with pale orange-red above vein 2. 



2 33 from Tambora, Samba wa ; one, the type, from the low country, taken 

 in April or May 1896, the other, between 2500 and 4000 ft., in June 1896, by
