The specimens vary slightly inter se in the size of the markings of the fore- 

 wing. This species agrees structurally closely with M. pn^hwa (from India) and 

 allies.

 (S. Celebes). 



The habitat " Philippine Islands " as given in the descrijition of jjuciolia is 

 stated by mistake ; the type-specimen bears the label " Miuah., Plat.," which means 

 Minahassa, North Celebes (Platen). It is a Staudingerian specimen. The differences 

 between })i(ciolia and fruhstorferi are very slight; puciolia has, in fact, all the 

 characters mentioned iu my descriiitiou oi fruhstorferi and not mentioned in the 

 description of puciolia, except that it is smaller. The two specimens represent 

 perhajis a northern and a southern subspecies of the same species; but this can only 

 be decided on receipt of more material. For the present it is best to mi\. fruhstorferi 

 as a synonym. 



10. Phalaenoides restrictus sp. nov. (PI. VII. tig. 8). 



c?. The representative form of I'h. mcijisto Buisd., from which it differs as 

 follows : — 



Upper side : forewing with a very strong blue metallic gloss, except in outer 

 third; a transverse band before middle of cell as in meijisto, but only half the width, 

 a spot beyond middle of cell, and a discal ovate jiatch, pointed at botli ends, reaching 

 from vein 6 to the submedian nervure, a streak upon the inner margin at the base, 

 and nervules in outer region of wing, white. Hindwing as in meijisto, but more 

 metallic blue. 



Underside : forewing with the spot in the apex of the cell and the discal patch 

 as above, the latter larger. Tibiae darker than in megisto, more metallic; 

 foretibiae without yellow hairs. Second joint of palpi with very few black scales 

 above.

11. Aegocera ansorgei sp. nov. (PI. VII. fig. 9). 



$. Closely allied to ^.1. inencte ("ram., but has a narrower and dili'oreutly 

 marked forewing. The longitudinal band beyond the cell is narrower than iu 

 menete; it is separated into four portions — a basal sjjot, two elongate markings of ,5 

 and 4^ mm. length respectively, and a transverse small spot ; the outer mark of 

 menete is wanting. Besides the almost rectangular spot in the apex-of the cell there 

 is a rounded mark before the middle of the cell ; two faint transverse lines in 

 middle of cell, and a third at apex of cell creamy buff like the other markings. 

 Transverse band beyond apex of cell narrow, forming a very blunt angle at vein o; 

 outside this band, which reaches as far as vein 3, there is a short costal band and a 

 complete submarginal band of creamy bull' scales. Costal and inner margins dusted
