Two cJ J, one ? , from Humboldt Bay, October 1892 (\V. Doherty). 



In Walker's B. qiuidripartita ft-om Aru (= salamandra Pagenst., nee Kirseh), 

 which much resembles the present insect, the projection from anal angle lies higher 

 up the inner margin, and runs to within the middle of costa instead of towards its 

 apex; and in the forewings the outer yellow spot has a pointed lower end, while in 

 oppositata the end is always bluntl}' rounded. 



159. Bursada pyrifera sp. nov. 



Like B. xanthomeUis Boisd., but larger; the pear-shaped yellow basal blotch 

 broader, its lower edge straight ; the central black fascia, which varies in width, not 

 so oblique ; the apical yellow blotch larger and nearer hindmargin, so that the black 

 marginal border is narrower. 



Hindvnmjs : yellow, with the black marginal border narrower. 



Underside like upper. Head, thorax, and alxlomen all black. 



Expanse of wings : 30 — 34 mm. 



Three SS from Korrido, Dutch New Guinea (W. Doherty). 



160. Craspedosis (?) bicolorata sp. nov. 



Forewings: velvety brown, with a broad whiti.sh fascia from just beyond middle 

 of costa towards anal angle, before which it stops, but throws off a dull ])ale line to 

 inner margin ; the inner edge of the white fascia is straight, the outer irregularly 

 wavy. 



Hindwinfjs : lirown, with two large contiguous yellow lunules from third median 

 to hindmargin before anal angle ; fringe of both wings brown. 



Under.side like upper, the yellow lunules of bindwings more developed. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen all brown, as well as the legs and imderside, except the last lour 

 segments of abdomen, which are yellow with brown rings. 



Expanse of wings : 58 mm. 



One ? from Amboina, August 1892 (W. Doherty). 



lu the forewings the first and second .subcostals are stalked, the second becoming 

 coincident with third and fourth. 



nil. Craspedosis leucosticta sp. nov. 



Fwewincjs : dull blackish slate-colour; a straight white streak running oblicjuely 

 from subcostal vein to first median, bordering the diseocellular, varying in shape and 

 develojjment ; above the anal angle is a faint trace of a pale grev submarginal line. 



Ilhuhvingn : slate-colour, with a broad white central space, not touching the 

 costa, the inner edge of which is straight and the outer sinuous, almost angled at 

 vein 3 ; along the middle of the dark outer margin runs a curved dull slate-coloured 

 fascia ; fringes of both wings eoncolorous. 



Underside like upper, but blacker, with no trace of submarginal band in either 

 wing. Head, thorax, and first two segments of abdomen slate-colour; rest of aluloinen 

 yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 54 mm. 



In great abundance from Cedar Bay, .south of Cooktown, (Jueensland.
