Coptoloma ? albicapitana, sp. n. 



Antennce fuscous. 



Head and palpi white. 



Thorax fuscous. 



Fore wings brownish fuscous, blending to ferruginous brown, 

 about the apex much streaked and dotted with cream-white and 

 steel-blue lines and spots; a steel-blue spot at the base of the costal 

 margin is followed before the middle by an oblique short costal 

 streak of the same colour, and this is also followed, beyond the 

 middle, by a more slender similar streak, bulging outwardly, dilated 

 and deflected towards the anal angle ; near the dorsal margin, at 

 one third from the base, is a cream-white spot, from above which a 

 slender cream-white line, shaped like a horseshoe, is bowed out- 

 wards, and returns to a smaller cream- white spot above the fold, 

 enclosing the outer end of a short longitudinal steel-blue streak ; 

 above the middle of the dorsal margin is a small steel-blue spot 

 followed by another slightly above and beyond it, which is separated 

 from a third elongate spot above the middle of the wing by a slender 

 cream-white line ; the two lower of these spots are enclosed by 

 slender waved cream-white lines, at a little distance from them but 

 following their outline ; these lines do not reach the dorsal margin 

 nor do they meet between the spots; on the chestnut-brow r n apical 

 portion of the wing are two or three cream-white costal spots or 

 streaks, the outer one being the longest, and ha\ing some steel-blue 

 scales at its lower end ; between these spots and around the apex 

 the extreme margin of the wing is fuscous ; cilia blue-grey. Under- 

 side unicolorous greyish fuscous, with three eosto-apical white spots 

 or streaks. 



Hind wings brownish fuscous, darker towards the apex ; cilia 

 greyish. 



Abdomen fuscous ; underside cream-whitish. 



Legs greyish fuscous ; spurs paler.
