7. Epagoge halysideta, Wlsm., sp.n. 



Antennae greyish cinereous. Palpi triangular ; pale brownish 

 ochreous. Thorax greenish olivaceous, with two scarlet longi- 

 tudinal streaks. Pore wings dull olive-green to two-thirds from 

 the base ; on the green portion are three lines of scarlet streaks — 

 the first, from the base below the costa, broken beyond its middle, 

 the basal half tending to join the outer half of a similarly broken 

 median streak ; the third, also from the base, is broken into three 

 spots below the middle and outer half of the fold ; three small 

 scarlet spots and a transverse elongate one precede the darkened 

 outer third of the wing, which, after a narrow margin of metallic 

 pinkish ochreous, becomes rich yellowish brown, with obscure 

 greyish fuscous semi-metallic shading and reticulations ; along the 

 costa, commencing near the base, is a series of minute pale ochreous 

 spots, gradually increasing and becoming oblique geminated streaks, 

 continuing to the apex ; these, beyond the middle, are joined in 

 pairs at their lower extremities, giving the appearance of links of 

 a chain; cilia pale ochreous, with fuscous streaklets running 

 through them. Exp. al. 9 mm. Hind wings dark greyish. 

 Abdomen bronzy grey ; anal tuft ochreous. Legs pale ochreous.
