224. Medasina javensis sp. nov. 



Foreioings : red-brown, suffused witb dai-k(u-, aud with dark red-brown stvia- 

 tions ; costa striated with bhick, but without black spots at origin of lines : first 

 line hardly expressed, except at inner margin by a short streak ; median line 

 forming an oblique brown-black streak above inner margin, obsolete above ; the 

 discal spot hardly marked ; exterior line as in M. parisnattei Wlk., excurved at 

 vein and there nearly ol)solete, red-brown below, edged with jjaler, and almost 

 touching median line above inner margin ; followed by a darker brown fascia from 

 inner margin to vein 5, where there is a horizontal dark streak ; submarginal line 

 rufous, irregularly waved, with a paler patch in middle ; a row of slender black 

 lunules along hiiulmargin: fringe rnfous fuscous. 



Hindwings: with basal third deep blackish brown, with an antemediau blackish 

 line, a curved and dentate pustmedian line, edged, as in fore wings, with jialer, and 

 followed by a deeper shade as far as snbmedian. Veins of both wings pale reddish 

 ochreous, dotted with fuscous. 



Underside smoky brown, with the median line and submarginal fascia blackish; 

 marginal area whitish, fuscous speckled, interrupted by a black shade opposite the 

 cell and above anal angle ; in the hindwings the exterior line also is shown, and 

 the paler margin is only interrupted opposite cell. Head aud thorax red-brown : 

 abdomen deep cinereous, with a black ring at base ; anal segments becoming rufous. 



Expanse of wings : 65 mm. 



One S from Java. 



Mnesigea gen. nov. 



Foreivings : broad; the costa nearly straight, convex just at apex, which is 

 blunt ; hindmargin obliquely rounsled below, straighter above. 



Hi7idwings : broad, both angles rounded, the hindmargin waved, and with a 

 rounded incision opjiosite cell. 



Palpi porrect, cpiite short ; antennae (d) very slender, the pectmations fine and 

 at right angles to the shaft, ciliated themselves ; forewings without fovea ; hind 

 tibiae slender, not thickened, with fonr spurs. 



Neuration : forewings, cell half as long as wing ; discocellular straight, rather 

 oblique ; median vein strongly bent upwards towards its extremity; first median 

 nervnle at three-fourths, second at seven-eighths, third from end of cell; lower 

 radial above middle of discocellular, approximated to upper; 7, 8, 9 stalked; 10 and 

 11 coincident or stalked. 



Ty|3e : Mneaigea sinmta sp. nov. ; exciirsaria Guenee will better come into 

 this genus. 



225. Mnesigea sinuata sp. nov. 



Forewings : grey, powdered with blackish scales, and partially tinged with pale 

 brownish ; first line strongly curved, near base, fine, with black spots on veins ; 

 second line sinuous, from costa at three-fourths to inner margin before middle 

 preceded by distinct black wedge-shajied dashes on the veins ; median line also 

 sinuous, passing through the dark cell-spot aud a black dash at base of vein 2, and 

 followed by a second fine line, sinuous like itself; the exterior line is followed by a 

 j)ale, and that by a fuscous, line containing a dark sjiot between veins 3 aud 4 ; 

 marginal area darker, with an obscurely waved submarginal pale line ; fringe
