47. Bagada fuscostrigata spec. nnv. 



(?. Head and pal{)i reddish lirown, collar grey, patagiae reddish, abdomen 

 brownish grey. Primary reddish with the inner margin slate grey, an obli(jue 

 dark grey stripe from just below the apex to the middle of the inner margin, 

 outside which the ground colour is greyish, the termen between veins 3 and 6 

 being paler ; the red area has a mottled appearance, the orbicular and reniform 

 stigmata being pale with a paler spot below the latter, whilst above them on the 

 costa is an indefinite patch of grey, and a pale spot at the apex. Secondary uniform 

 dark grey. 



Expanse : 42 mm. 



Hah. The t3-pe is in my collection from Ekeikei, where the insect flies in March 

 and April. The species will come next to B. lignigera Walker. 



48. Bagada incertissima spec. uov. 



$. Frons pale ochreous mixed with pink, head reddish mixed with pale 

 greenish scales, collar reddish with two grey lines across, thorax reddish ochreous 

 with greenish patagiae, abdomen pinkish brown with an ochreous extremity. 

 Primary chestnut brown with a pale snbbasal patch below the cell, below which 

 is a dark dash followed by a pale dash on the inner margin ; near the centre of the 

 costa are three short dark broad lines to the cell ; posterior half of wing darkly 

 blotched, with the orbicular and reniform stigmata more or less distinct, with a 

 creamy white narrow quadrate spot emitted just beyond the latter ; posterior line 

 dark and dentate, followed by a broader pinkish line ; tornns to middle of inner 

 margin and termen green ; termen above the centre paler, tinged with green ; on 

 the costa above the whitish quadrate mark is a pale patch. Secondary uniform 

 brown with a slight lustre. 



Undersurface : Primary brown, costa paler, inner margin quite pale ; a 

 trace of a postmedial dark line, followed by a paler one ; a distinct creamy 

 subterminal dentate line. Secondary pale, with an interrnpted dark postmedial 

 line, beyond which the wing is rather darker, with a pale termen darkly spotted ; 

 a dark spot at the end of the cell. 



? . Like the male, but darker, with the exception that in the primaries the 

 pale ochreous parts in the male are green in the female, and the green parts of 

 the male are ochreous in the female. 



Expanse : S and ? 38—40 mm. 



Hah. The type is in my collection from Ekeikei. Its general time of flight is 

 in March and April ; but I have specimens taken in January and also in Jnly. 

 Other specimens are in the Tring Museum from the Aroa River. 



This species is most variable, scarcely two specimens being alike. I have 

 specimens quite dark all over, with dark green patches as described and a large pale 

 apical patch. Again, others are strongly suffused with green, and have an almost 

 black apical patch. I have a male which is pale ochreous with no green at all, the 

 only constant mark apjiarently being the small whitish ijuadrate spot just beyond 

 the reniform stigma ; this appears in all the specimens that we have received. 



49. Bagada nigrostrigata spec. nov. 



$. Head and thorax ochreous, patagiae tinged with pink, collar broadly 

 edged with dark brown, abdomen ochreous grey. Primary pale ochreous, tinged
