a decided difference iu the antennae : in abortimta ¥ these are slender and two- 

 thirds of the length of the forewings ; in curticornis they are much stouter, 

 rougher, and only half as long as the wings. The comitarison of three other 

 similarly marked ? ? , one from Penang and two from Timor, brings out the difference 

 clearly. Those all agree iu the shortness and stoutness of the anteunae, and in 

 having the transverse lines more or less dark-tiugcd and the cell-spot dark ; the 

 apex of both fore- and hindwings is rounder, and the row of marginal spots on fore- 

 wings much more concise. The darker tints have a tendency to develop themselves 

 horizontally bej'oud the cell and along the snbniedian fold. 



loG. Remodes contorta sp. nov. 



Forewings: mealy green, without any fine darker green transverse lines, these 

 where expressed, being all blackish ; base marked mth blackish; basal area limited 

 by a bent narrow band with darker edges : central fascia with its inner edge formed 

 by a contorted darker greeu band with blackish edges ; the outer edge by a similar 

 band edged by a double dentate black line, excurved below costa and becoming 

 obsolescent in a whitish hyaline and transparent blotch, the inner arm of the 

 inner line alone reaching the inner margin ; cell-spot distinct, blackish, touching 

 both bands ; the green space between basal i)atch and central fascia marked above 

 inner margin with horizontal black dashes ; area between central fascia and snb- 

 marginal line pale green on costa, traversed below vein 6 by a double blackish line ; 

 submarginal line parallel to hindmargin, blackish; subdentate marginal dark spots at 

 end of veins ; fringe greeu. 



IlindwiMjs : whitish. 



Underside whitish grey; costal half of forewings tinged with dull rufous. Face 

 and palpi pale green ; thorax and abdomen green, mixed with blackish scales ; 

 antennae broken. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One (S from Penang. 



Resembles B. pallidiplaga in the white blotch at anal angle, but the palpi are 

 green, not black, and the markings are different. The inner margin of forewings 

 is decidedly bulged from near base to end of submedian vein, where it is slightly 

 indented ; the incision above anal angle is strongly marked, and the area below the 

 submedian fold occupied by the pale blotch is slightly puckered and contorted 

 beneath ; the hindwings have no dark scales whatever. 



107. Remodes pallidiplaga sp. nov. 



Foreiriiiqs : pale dull greeu ; the lines darker green, irregularly waved on basal 

 half, beyond the middle angulated ; three close to base, the first marked with some 

 blackish scales, the next two confluent ; inner edge of central fascia marked by a 

 single dark green line, angulated sharply on subcostal, where it touches the dark 

 green cell-spot, and bent below : sjjace between basal patch and this line pale green, 

 with a deeper wavy green line down its centre ; outer jiart of central fascia consisting 

 of three dark green angulated lines, curved outwards above and incurved below, 

 approximating towards inner margin ; central fascia followed by a similar pale green 

 band to that which precedes it, but ending at anal angle in a i)alc whitish blotch ; 

 two dark green lines, becoming confluent below middle and containing a sulmuadrat-c 

 dark greenish black blotch beyond cell ; submarginal line sinuous, blackish green,
