denticulate, aud bluntly angled in the cell, dark fuscous, preceded by a fuscous 

 shade and obscure transverse lines, which pale off towards the first line, followed by 

 a denticulate pale and another dark line ; submargiual line uniformly denticulate, 

 pale, preceded by a fuscous shade, which also grows paler towards the second line : 

 marginal area fuscous ; a sijuare pale ochreons or whitish blotch on hindmaro'in 

 between veins 3 aud 4, interrupting the snbmargiual line ; fringe dark fuscous, with 

 a blackish marginal line at base, interrupted by pale spots at the ends of the veins, 

 which are produced as pale dashes through the dark fringes. 



Ilimlwings : with the basal two-thirds reddish fuscous, the outer line thicker 

 and darker than in forewiugs, followed, as in them, by a pale and a dark line, but 

 the dark line is again followed by a broad pale space ; marginal area reddish 

 fnscons, traversed by the denticulate snbmarginal line and with a pale patch as in 

 forewings; extreme inner margin marked with reddish and blackish scales, precedcil 

 by a longitudinal space along the fold which is ])alo ochreons and without dark 

 irroratiou. 



Underside dull grey. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreons, mixed with

Expanse of wings : 19 mm. 



Several examples of both sexes from Cedar Bay, Cooktown (A. S. Meek). 



Allied to G. ectochlora Hmpsn. from India. 



158. Gymnoscelis pallidirufa sj>. nov. 



Forewings: whitish, the basal and marginal areas suffused with dull rufous: 

 the median slightly dusted with grey scales, edged with blackish, preceded and 

 followed by a whitish fascia traversed by a rufous grey line ; edge of basal patch 

 and inner edge of central fascia oblique inwards towards inner margin ; outer edge 

 of fascia straight to vein 4, then angled and oblique inwards ; snbmargiual line pale, 

 denticulated ; central fascia crossed liy wavy grey lines and tinged along costa with 

 rufous ; fringe grey, with dark spots at base between the veins. 



Ilindwings : like forewings, the snbmargiual area with a small whitish blotch 

 in the middle. 



Underside dull rufous grey, with the markings indistinct. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen pale grey, with darker scales intermixed. 



Expanse of wings : 19 mm. 



One ? from Bonthain, S. Celebes, 5000— TOOU feet, October 1895 (A. Everett). 



The antennae are thickened and finely serrate : it is probably akin to Tramba 

 tibialis Moore ; iu the absence of the S it may be left at present in Gi/mnoscelis. 



Syncosmia gen. nov. 



Agreeing in the nenration of forewings with Chlorocbistis, of which it is a 

 develojiment. Hindwiugs of S with the inner margin towards anal angle developed 

 into an ear-shaped lobe, which is folded over flat on the u]iperside, the margin from 

 the angle to vein 5 being straight ; veins 3 and 4 both from the lower angle of cell- 

 The palpi are long, porrect, clothed with long hairs from the base, which wholly 

 conceal the joints ; antennae thickened and ciliated. 



Type : Syncosmia patinata sp. nov.
