57. Borbacha parviscripta Warr. 

 One ?, two SS, ill good condition from Kiriwini, Trobriand Islands, dated April 

 and Way, and one ?, three SS, all somewhat worn, from Fergusson Island, 

 Sei)temher to December, agree well with the type described Nov. ZooL. III. p. 130, 

 from S. Java, except in being somewhat larger. 



o8. Scardainia fasciata sp. nov. 



Formdngs ; with base and costa dull leaden-grey, speckled with black ; a tine 

 vertical crimson fascia at one-fifth, preceded on inner margin by an orange blotch ; a

 costa, and containing a silvery discal spot ; a slightly curved broader orange fascia at 

 four-fifths, containing scattered black strigae ; a dull crimson submargiual fascia with 

 a few black strigae on it, and the veins across it leaden-grey ; all these fasciae are 

 separated one from another by dull leaden-grey fasciae of uniform width, the first two 

 vertical, the third angled beyond the cell, the fourth slightly waved, the fifth 

 marginal, containing a row of black dots between the veins; fringe with inner half 

 dull crimson, the outer half leaden-grey. 



Hindwings: the same, without the leaden-grey costal margin. 



Thorax and abdomen leaden-grey, tinged with orange-crimson ; collar, face, and 

 palpi fuscous. Underside pale yellow, with broad blackish marginal bands. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One c? from Fergusson Island, October. 



Subfamily PLUTODINAE. 



59. Plutodes signifera sp. nov. 

 Forewings: yellow, darker towards costa, which is yellow throughout, washed 

 with silvery scales; a brown basal blotch on inner margin, edged by a darker metallic 

 line; terminal half of wing pale pinkish brown, washed with yellowish, and edged 

 by a metallic leaden line, irregularly D-shaped, the inner edge slightly waved and 

 oblique; a little before the middle of this blotch is a dull wavy brown shade; fringe 



yellow. 



Hindwings: the same, but the liasal blotch is continued down the inner margin 

 nearly to anal angle ; the D-shaped blotch is narrower. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen pale yellowish brown ; vertex and antennae pale 

 yellow. Underside dull yellowish, the markings faintly brown. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



Five S S from PVrgusson Island, October to December. 



A single ? with the brown markings much darker, the apical ones rounded and 

 more restricted, very much like P. diacigera Butler, is probably the .same species 

 as the c?cJ above described. P. discigera is recorded by .Mr. Meyrick from Port 

 Moresby, but he does not state the sex. The jiresent ? differs from discigera only in 

 the bent margin of the basal patch of the liindwing, which in discigera runs straight 

 to the inner margin at one-half. 



The specimen is marked November, Fergusson Island.
