( 277 ) 



outwards from vein G to 3, where it is deeply excavated to the inner margin 

 with a white Bufrusion iii the excavation ; an oblique crenulate paler subtcriuinal 

 line ; termen with a dark suffusion abont veins 3 to 5. Secondary with the white 

 postmedial line followed by the crenulate subterminal line, the median dark 

 diffusion more or less restricted. 



Expanse : 36 mm. 



Ilab. The tyi)e is in my collection from the Kebea Range, where it was taken 

 in March and Ajiril. We have examples from several localities, and others are 

 in Tring Museum irom the Aroa lliver. 



27U. Pangrapta aroa sjiec. nov. 



t?. Head and collar dark sepia-brown, thorax pale iiinkish brown, abdomen 

 darkish grey. Primary with the basal half pale pinkish grey, edged by a broad 

 oblique dark sepia-brown fascia produced outwards at vein 6, with a costal pale buff 

 triangular jiatcb above ; the rest of the wing bluish grey with a trace of a dotted 

 subterminal line ; a subbasal irregular fine pale lino, succeeded by a dark dot in 

 the cell. Secondary with a dark median band, a dark cell-spot encircled with 

 whitish ; a white postmedial line edged externally by a diffused dark sepia-brown 

 stripe with white serrations above the tornal area ; terminal area bluish grey, with 

 a dark suffusion across it to veins 3 and 4. Margin of both wings crenulate and 

 finely dark. 



Expanse : 38 mm. 



Hah. The type is in my collection from the Aroa Iviver, where it was taken in 

 March ; other specimens in the Tring JIuseum from the same locality. 



-71. Disticta hampsoni spec. nov. 



(?. Head, thorax, abdomen, and both wings cream-colour. Primary with a trace 

 of a greyish medial oblique line, two black points at the end of the cell; jiostmedial 

 line oblique from the apex, greyish, edged by an external oehreous stripe with a 

 blackish crenulate outer margin; a trace of a subterminal line roughly jtarallel 

 with the termen, termen with fine black points. Secondary with a black point 

 in the cell, postmedial lines as in the primary; terminal area broadly pinkish 

 with a greyish stripe, and fine black jioints to the termen. 



? . Like the male, but darker, with all the lines accentuated. 



Expanse : S and ? , 37 mm. 



Hah. The type from Ekeikei is in my collection. We have examples also 

 from other localities taken in March and April, and there are several specimens 

 in the Tring Museum from the Aroa River. 



272. Disticta tornopunctata spec. nov. 



c? ? . Differs from D. Iirunp.toiu in that there are two blackish spots in each 

 wing above and a little inwards from the tornus. 



Hah. The type is in my collection from the Kebea Range ; and we have the 

 insect from other localities, including the Aroa River. 



I am doubtful whether this may not be a variety of hampsoni B-B., but it 

 obtains in the same localities as that insect and at the same time ; we have a good 

 series of the one, but only a small number of the other; there are, however, no 

 intermediate forms, and as wc have the spotted species in both sexes it is probable 

 that it is distinct.
