Stesichora apicipuncta ab. bipunctata Warr., Nov. Zoul. 111. p. 344 (?). 



When I described the single ? from Biak as an aberration of apicipuncta, 1 

 had seen onlj' tliat one ; bnt I find that tlic differences between the two forms are 

 ([iiite constant, and that the d is romaricalily different from the ? in both forms. 



Of six exani])les from Etna Bay, New Guinea (fonr $ ? , two S S), the ? ? 

 agree with the type from Biak; the SS, instead of lieing uniform white, have two 

 broad fuscous bands, running obliquely from one-fonrtli and l)eyond half of inner 

 margin towards aj)ex. before wliich tliey become obsolete, not uniting, but slightly 

 nearer each other thau on inner margin. In the hindwings the first of these Ijauds 

 forms a line close to base, the second becomes antemedian, while, as a continuation 

 of the spot at anal angle of the forewiugs, a third, more strongly marked, band runs 

 from just before ajiex to above anal angle. On the underside the costa of forewiugs, 

 as well as tlie a])ical blotch, is blackish, and tlie whole wing slightly tinged with 

 grey. In two of the fonr ¥ ? the hindwings show fine traces of the tliird line. All 

 sis examples are dated August 1896 (Webster).

As soon as I had discovered that the S of S. bipunctata differed, by the 

 additional markings, from the ?, it occurred to me that the S of S. apicipuncta 

 would exhibit similar differences ; and in fact I had already described it as a distinct 

 species under the name of combinata, which name must therefore sink as a 

 synonym.

 lo. Dirades exangnilata sp. nov. 



Forewiugs : brownish grey; first Hue nearly in the middle, curved outwards in 

 the cell, externally edged with darker brown, and preceded in cell by a (hirk spot ; 

 outer line from costa at two-thirds, oblique outwards to near hindmargin, then 

 curved and running obliquely inwards, nearly parallel to hindmargin, to inner 

 margin at four-fifths, pale itself, but edged internally with dark brown ; fringe 

 concolorons. 



Hindwi7igs : with antemedian and postmedian pale lines, edged conversely, as 

 in forewiugs, with deep brown ; space between them darker than the rest of the 

 wings. 



Underside of fore^vings dull greyish brown, of hindwings lighter. Face dark 

 brown ; thorax and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 16 mm. 



One cJ from Mount Mulu, N. Borneo, 1000—400(1 feet (Hose). 



Apex of forewiugs produced, subacute ; hindmargin oblique ; hindwings with 

 slight teeth at veins 4 and 7; antennae subserrate beneath, rough above.
