Poanes batesi new species 
Male. Upper side. Primaries with a conspicuous, 
oblique, narrow greyish stigma of two parts broadly bor- 
dered with black on each side, the upper part, slightly 
curved, extends from near the base of vein 3 to vein 2 ; the 
lower part is continued obliquely inward from vein 2 to 
about the basal third of vein 1. The costal margin to near 
the end of the cell and the cell itself are orange fulvous. 
Basal area of cell 1 orange fulvous, somewhat darker. 
Outer half of wing blackish brown, well sprinkled with 
orange fulvous scales. Three subapical orange fulvous 
spots in interspaces 6, 7 and 8. A triangular, semi-hyaline, 
pale orange fulvous spot in the base of interspace 3 ; a 
larger, irregular semi-hyaline spot of similar color lies out- 
side the upper part of thej stigma in interspace 2 ; in inter- 
space 1 a prominent, though not sharply defined, narrow 
orange fulvous streak extends along vein 1 from the base 
of the stigma to under the semi-hyaline spot in interspace 
2. Below vein 1 the inner margin is orange fulvous from 
the base nearly to the inner angle of the wing. Fringes 
blackish at the base, paler brown at the tip, except at the 
inner angle where they are orange fulvous. 
Secondaries. Costal area above vein 7, abdominal fold 
and a narrow outer border are black, the rest of the wing or- 
ange fulvous, through which some of the black veins feebly 
show, at the end and along the lower edge of the cell more 
distinctly than the rest. Fringes orange fulvous with 
blackish scales at the base and which intermix with the 
orange fulvous at about the center of the wing border. 
Under side. Primaries with the basal area, except at the 
costal margin, black, at the costal margin the base is bright
