Natural history; Zoology; Botany; Geology. new Species of Mastigophorus. 359 lated bisinuated postmedian band, and prominent macular black discal stripe on the primaries, the darker-bordered and more distinctly pale-banded secondaries, and the flexuous instead of angular, regularly densely fringed palpi terminating in a shorter brush-bearing Mastigophorus mirabilis. sp. n. c? . Primaries dark greyish piceous ; a short arched irregu- lar black line, edged externally with ochreous, close, to the base; an unequally trisinuated, externally black-bordered, ochreous line at about the basal fourth representing the inner limitation of the central belt: a tricoloured augulated band flesh-colour, black and ochreous, immediately beyond the middle, impinged upon by the reniform spot and representing the outer limitation of the central belt; orbicular spot repre- sented by a pure white dot with black margin, in the middle of the discoidal cell ; reniform spot narrow, angular in front, brown, almost entirely edged with pure white, so as to repre- sent an irregular white R ; a black patch from just above the angle of the postmedian band to a slender and indistinct undulated ochreous discal line, which bounds a series of large and for the most part confluent black spots, which form a bisinuated band from apex almost to external angle ; a mar- ginal series of small subconfluent black spots, followed by an ochreous line at the base of the fringe : secondaries smoky grey, the external third much darker, bounded internally by a pale diffused stripe and traversed by a slightly dentate- sinuated whitish line ; a marginal series of black lunules, followed by a yellowish-white line at base of fringe : head and thorax dark piceous ; palpi ochraceous, the fringes tipped with black; abdomen smoky greyish brown, darker towards the base, the segments edged with whitish ; legs blackish, banded with ochraceous or
