Exyjanse of wings : 39 mm. 



One <S from Simbang, German New Guinea, June 1893. 



Allied to F. margaritata Wavr. from Australia. 



SO. Pseudastheua sordida sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale oclireons, with a slicrlit olive tint, finely dusted with grey, 

 crossed by a succession of waved dark grey lines ; the central area more suffused 

 witli grey than the outer ; a lunnlate line at four-fifths is more conspicuous, being 

 preceded by a paler baud ; a fine dark line with dots on the veins before the 

 liiudmargin ; the space beyond it pure ochreous, without grey dusting ; fringe 

 concolorous ; cell-spot grey. 



Iliiuhcinqs : the same ; the lines darker on abdominal margin. 



Underside whitish ochreous, the grey lines only showing through. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen olive-ochreous ; antennae white ; fillet very narrowly white.

One S from Oinaiuisa, Timor, November and December 1891 (Doherty).

 with grey ; first line curved, obscure, at one-fourth ; median shade marked only by 

 a brownish costal spot; outer line dark purple-grey, at three-fourths, parallel to 

 hindmargin, bent inwards opposite the cell and so forming a sinus outwards above 

 and below, followed by a violet-grey fascia, beyond which the marginal area is again 

 ochreous with the fringe ; some minute dark specks at ends of veins. 



Hind wings: with the whole apical one-third purplish grey, with a deeper 

 purplish blotch at anal angle.

 and abdomen ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 15 mm. 

 . One ? from Cedar Bay, south of Cooktown, Queensland. 



In the hindwings the anal angle is peculiarly prominent, as the hindmargin is 

 strongly excised from it as far as vein 3, as in alopccoJes Meyr., to which the present 

 species is evidently allied. 



82. Ptychopoda carneola sji. nov. 



Forewings : ochreous flesh-colonr ; the lines and cell-spot deeper; antemedian 

 at one-third, postmedian at two-thirds, both nearly straight ; submarginal slightly
