Expanse of wings : S 32 — 40 mm. ; ? 42 mm. 



4 (?<J, 2 ? ? taken b)' A. S. Meek ou tbe Upper Setekwa River, Snow Mts., 

 Dutch New Guinea, 2(i00 to 3(i00 ft., Augnst and September 191U. The 9 is larger 

 than the c?, bnt the S d appear to vary considerably in point of size. Its nearest 

 ally is S. calamistis, Hmps., from 8. Africa. 



77. Chasmina gracilipalpis spec. nov. 



Forcicing : shining white ; three black spots in basal half of costa at the usual 

 place of subbasal, inner, and median lines ; a subterminal dark brown gamma-shaped 

 costal blotch, obliquely placed, with two whitish dots on costa and paler centre ; 

 a faint row of black striae before termen joined at anal angle by an equally faint 

 yellowish shade from vein 2 ; fringe white ; outer and terminal lines absent. 



Hindwing : white ; the fringe white. 



Underside of both wings white ; hindwing with small dark dots on termen 

 beyond veins 4, .5, 6. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen shining white ; top of face with pale brown bar ; 

 terminal segment of palpi pale brown ; tibiae and tarsi spotted as in rejecta F. 



Expause of wings : 30 mm. 



1 ? from Darjiling, Jnue 1886 (H. J. Elwes). 



Distinguished from the other species by the more slender and curved palpi, the 

 terminal segment of which is twice as long as in rejechi and acute ; the shape of 

 the subterminal costal blotch is also characteristic. 



78. Dadica albanalis spec. nov. 



Forewing : dark fuscous, rather greyish fuscous in the <? ; lines and markings 

 almost jjrecisely the same as in D. lineosa Moore, but the distance between the 

 inner and outer lines less. 



Hindwing : of ? dull pale grey, only slightly paler than in lineosa; of cj much 

 paler, the contrast being greater in that the hindwing of lineosa is blackish fuscous ; 

 the termen of hindwing is rounded in both sexes, whereas in lineosa 6 the termen 

 is straight from tornus to vein .5, then rounded. 



Underside pale grey thickly speckled with coarse fuscous scales ; the outer 

 lines and cell-spots thick and dark ; in the c? the space between the rough scaled 

 costal area and the fringed area of inner margin is whitish, uuspeckled, interrujitiug 

 the outer line. 



Head, thorax, aud abdomen dark fuscous ; anal tuft of the 6 white. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



1 c?, 1 ? from Ceylon (type) ; 1 ? from the Khasias appears to be the same 

 species, but is paler; and the outer line of forewing is almost straight. 



The species agrees with lineosa in having veins 3 and 4 ot hindwing from 

 cell ; whereas in bipuncta Snell (= stellata Moore) these veins are strongly stalked. 



Subfamily ERASTRIANAE. 

 79. Leptosia griseimargo spec. nov. 

 Fon'tcing : pale sandy rufous, except the narrow terminal area beyond sub- 

 terminal line, which is grey, well defined by the crenulate subterminal line ; lines 

 somewhat deeper rufous ; the costal streaks rufous ; inner-marginal area beyond 

 middle diffusely tinged with grey.
