Gonoreta angulosa sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 138-140 ; PI. 8, fig. 299 ; Map 4) 



Description. J. Palp dull scarlet. Head buff (holotype) or dull scarlet above labrum, 

 becoming dark reddish brown dorsally between and below antennae ; dorso-posterior margin of 

 head buff. Antenna buff. Anterior margin of dorsal surface of thorax nearly white ; rest of 

 thorax very pale grey. Ventral surface of thorax dull scarlet anteriorly lateral and ventral to 

 eyes, buff dorsal to eyes ; remainder pale buff. Front surface of fore legs dull scarlet, rear 

 surface pale buff ; remaining legs similarly coloured but less intensely red on outer surface. 



Wing shape and colour-pattern as in Plate 8, fig. 299. Outer margin of hind wing distinctly 

 angled at Cu la . Ground-colour of upper surface of both wings pale grey with weak pink 

 suffusion, speckled with black ; costal markings nearly black ; medial shade of fore wing greyish 

 brown ; subterminal fascia markings almost black anterior to Cu lb , remainder brown ; fringe 

 dark brown between ends of veins, buff at vein ends. Hind wing with greyish brown distal area 

 not extending to outer margin, leaving narrow grey band at margin ; fringe as for fore wing. 

 Under surface of fore wing dull reddish grey, speckled with grey ; costa dull buff ; postmedial 

 fascia grey, angled inwards just before costa. Under surface of hind wing more reddish than 

 fore wing distally, dull buff proximally ; speckled with grey, more densely at anterior margin. 



o* genitalia as in Text-figs. 138-140. The hooked thorn-like process at the end of the aedea- 

 gus and the four elongate eighth sternal processes are particularly characteristic. 



$. Not known. 



Measurements. A.P.R. : £. 9. Wing : q*. 15-5, i5-o-i6-omm. (3). 



Discussion. The fades of this species most closely resembles that of forcipidata 

 but the angulate hind wing and the distinctive male genitalia of angulosa readily 

 diagnose it. It would be particularly interesting to discover whether the female 

 genitalia of angulosa has a pre-ostial plate as in forcipulata.
