llindwiiiga: rather paler, the veins slightly tlarker tbiui the ground-colour, 

 which is also the case, though less consplcnously, in the ibrewiugs. 



Underside similar, but paler, the markings being less developed. Face, jialpi, 

 and shoulders like base of wings, darker than the thorax and alidomen, which are 

 concolorous with ground-colour of wings. 



Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



One ? from Lawas, N. Borneo (A. Everett). 



Very closely allied to S. duplicifmbria Warr. from India, but the hindmargin 

 of forewings is evenly curved throughout, not indented below apex, which is not 

 produced in the least. The dark mottlings and spots are far less developed than 

 in duplicifimbria ; the fringe has no dark middle line, as in that species, but the 

 outer third darker. 



Two SS from Fergusson Island, dated December 1894, and one J from Kiriwini, 

 Troliriand Islands, collected in March 1895 by A. S. Meek, are also referable here. 

 The smallest of these expands only 34 mm., the largest 45 mm. In all these the 

 fringe is wholly uuicolorous, but the extreme tips are here and there marked with 

 dark scales. In colour and markings they agree perfectly with the Lawas ? . But 

 along with these three S 6 there is a ¥ , from Fergusson Island, which must be 

 distinguished as 



ab. vulpina nov. 



In this both wings are snflused throughout with deep rufous, to the total 

 exclusion of the dark spots and most of the strigae ; the underside and all the parts 

 of the body are equally rufous. It is as large as the largest i of the type-form, 

 45 mm. 



Symphleps gen. nov. 



Distinguished from all other genera of the family by the fact that veins ,>, 9, 

 10 of the forewings are all three stalked together. 

 Tyjje : Si/mpldeps atomosalis sp. nov. 



14. Symphleps atomosalis sjj. nov. 



Forewings: reddish ochreous, thickly covered with deeper reddish regularly 

 disposed reticulations; costa with ten to twelve minute snow-wliite spots; cell-spot 

 silvery white ; fringe concolorous, with minute black dots at base at end of 

 veins. 



Hindwings: similar; the cell-sjwt fainter, divitli-d in two. 



Underside the same. Head, thorax, and abdomen ;iii nddjsh. 



Expanse of wings: 26 mm. 



One S from (ireat Kei Island, Ajiril iMtii (Caplaiii ( '. Websterj. 



There is a specimen from .lava in the British Museum Collection marked in 

 Walker's handwriting " I'gralis dtumosalis," but I can tind no trace of its 

 publication. 



S/culodes ochracca Pagenst., JB. Nans. Ver. XXXIX. p. 160 (mure fulh 

 described in the /n'.f, 1892, j). Ill) must be closely allied, if not identical.
