95. Chrysoclystis perornata Warr., Nov. Zooi.. III. p. 390. 



TliP tliree examples from wliich the origiual descrii)tion was made were all ? ? 

 from Humboldt Bay, New Guinea. I thought it j>r()bable that the S might differ, 

 but an example lately examined from Padang Rengas, Malay Peninsnla, presents no 

 differences whatever, except in the coloration of the face and palpi, which are brownish 

 instead of yellow. The antennae are slender, lamellate, scarcely pubescent ; the 

 hindtibiae with four spurs. 



96. Gymnoscelis albicaudata sp. uov. 



Forewi7tgs : greyish green, dusted with dark atoms ; first line at one-fourth, 

 blackish, angnlated, bent below costa, and then parallel to hindmargin : onter line 

 at three-fourths, angled on veins 4 apd 0, below 4 parallel to hindmargin : the inner 

 half of central fascia darker from costa to below middle, the inner-marginal area 

 pale green ; submarginal line pale, minutely dentate, preceded by a dark cloud ; 

 the whole wing crossed by obscure waved lines ; marginal line distinct, blackish, 

 subcrennlatc ; fringe grey, with paler base. 



Ilindicinys : greyish ochrcous, tinged with pale green towards hindmargin, 

 with several curved wavy darker lines and shades ; a waved jiostraedian black line, 

 recurved at costa : a darker submarginal fascia, with dentate edges ; a pale spot 

 beyond it in middle ; fringe and marginal line as in forewings ; cell-sj)ots in both 

 wings indistinct. 



Underside whitish, towards the costa tinged with rufous cinereous, with the two 

 onter lines dark grey, and the cell-spot of hindwings plain. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen greyish green, dusted with darker ; anal tuft very long, white. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm. 



One <S from the Khasias. 



The costa of forewings is rough-haired to the middle, faintly convex near base, 

 and insinuate in middle ; the hindtibiae of c? have the two terminal spurs as in 

 Calluffa costalis, one much longer than the other; but the nenration is that of 

 Gymnoscelis, 11 anastomosing with but not becoming coincident with 12; the subcostal 

 is not bent down, and the areole is narrow. The hindmargin of forewings is bent at 

 vein 4, oblique below, and slightly inbent before the distinct anal angle ; hindwings 

 with hindmargin strongly rounded, somewhat bulged in centre. 



97. Gymnoscelis coquina ab. semiviridis ab. nov. (? sp. dist.). 



Forewings : precisely like tj-pical cogtdna, with all the veins marked with black 

 scales. 



IJindwitiffS: pale ochreons or greyish, suffused only with green, which forms a 

 basal patch, central fascia, and marginal shade, with the veins as in forewings, 

 marked with black scales : cell-s))ot black, distinct. 



Underside of both wings white, with the fasciae blackish and concise. Head, 

 thorax, and basal segment of abdomen dark I'uscous ; rest of abdomen jiinkish 

 ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 18 — 20 mm. 



Two 9 ? from Geraldton, near Cairns, Queensland. 



The specimens oi coquina were all from Cedar Bay, south of Cooktown. I am 

 by no means sure that these with the green hindwings are not a distinct species.
