23. Celerena cana sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale yellow ; costa with a black streak to one-third, followed by a 

 black spot before middle; a slaty grey curved fascia at two-thirds, blackish on costa, 

 ending in anal angle; marginal space very pale whitish grey, except a pale yellow 

 fascia beyond the grey one. 



Hindimngs : yellow, whitish towards base; a pale whitish grey marginal fascia,

 like upper, but all the tints deeper ; the inner edge of the grey margin of botli wings 

 black. 



Expanse of wings : GO mm. 



Two S i from Fergnsson Island, November. 



This species belongs to the group in which the antennae of the cj are armed at 

 one-third with a thick curled tuft of hair. The cell of forewings is without fovea, 

 but hairy on underside, and with a slight tuft of hair in its lower half before the 

 middle. Hind tibiae yellowish, with tuft of dark hair near base on the inner side. 



24. Celerena griseofusa sp. nov. 



Forewings: grey, paler and more yellowish grey towards base ; a jellow obli(|ue 

 truncated fascia from costa beyond middle to above anal angle, thickly edged with 

 blackish. 



Ilindwlngs : yellow, with narrow grey hindmargin, internally black-edged, and 

 broader towards apex. 



Face, vertex, and thorax yellow ; abdomen yellow, tinged with grey, .slightly 

 in 5 , strongly in cJ ; palpi blackish towards tips. Underside with the grey markings 

 blackish ; tuft of hind tibiae of c? blackish. 



Expanse of wings : 60 mm. 



Two S6, two 5 ?, from Fergusson Island, Septemlier to November. 



In one (J and one ? the yellow fascia of forewings is distinctly broailer than in 

 the other two. 



25. Eumelea aureliata sang-uinifusa subsp. nov. 



In this form of aureliata Gueu. the ? ? are slightly more reddish than in the tyjie, 

 but the c?cJ are almost entirely deep orange-red above and blood-red l.ielow ; the base 

 is dusted with yellow, especially below the median vein, and there are two yellow 

 blotches along the submedian interspace between the lines; a larger yellow blotch 

 below costa beyond the middle, and a smaller one at apex and at middle of hind- 

 margin ; the liindwings have only the apical blotch yellow; thorax in front yellow ; 

 abdomen red. Possibly this c? form may be that Kgured by Cramer as rosalia.
