on siibniedian fold ; both arms of the OQter line angled inwards beyond cell and 

 on snbmediiin fold, and projecting ontwards towards hiudmargiu between; a blood- 

 red horizontal dash on the upper radial on the outer arm of the second line; fringe 

 yellow ; a row of small red dots between the veins before the hindmargin. 



nindwings : the same; the cell-spot still larger. 



Underside pale green; fringes and costa of fore wing yellow; a brown spot 

 at apex of forewing. Face, paljii, and fillet brown; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 green, the last with pale red-edged dorsal spots. 



Expanse of wings : 27 mm. 



One ? , December 1896. 



Allied to M. militaris Lucas (= dotata Warr.) from Queensland, but quite 

 distinct. 



Brachycola obrinaria Gnen. ab. nebalifera uov. 



l^istinguished from the ordinary type-form by having the space between 

 median shade and outer line occupied by a blackisli cloud from snbmedian fold 

 to radial. 



One ?, January 29, 1897. 



The aberration does not ai>pear to be common ; there is an exam])le in the 

 British Museum Collection. 



Perixera(?) rubrisecta sp. uov. 



Forewing s : pinkish grey, dusted witli darker grey and reddish atoms; basal 

 line marked by small black dots on the subcostal, median, and submedian veins, 

 and in the cell and on snbmedian fold, and by two additional dots nearer base, on 

 costa and subcostal vein; cell-spot blackish: outer line at five-sixths, marked by black 

 vein-dots; traces of a submarginal line, jialer between two deeper shades; marginal 

 dots between the veins; median shade oblique, thick and diffuse, bright red. 



Ilindwings: the same, but the cell-spot represented by a coal-black ring with 

 grey centre. 



Underside pinkish grey ; face, palpi, and forelegs above red, paler below ; 

 vertex and antennae pale ochreons, the vertex edged behind by a very fine crimson 

 line; thorax and abdomen like wings, the latter with traces of dark segmental 

 spots on dorsum. 



Expanse of wings: 32 mm. 



One ?, dated only 1896. 



The example, which is very distinctly characterised by the oblique red median 

 shade, is unfortunately considerably worn, and the fringes are qnite gone. 



Pisoraca compacta sp. nov. 

 Forewings : yellowish ochreons, but with the ground-colour almost entirely 

 hidden by dense reddish atoms and striae ; the lines reddish, but obscure ; first 

 curved, at one-fourth, slender, marked sometimes only by dark vein-dots ; second at 

 five-sixths, incurved below middle, murked in one instance by deep red vein-dots ; 

 median shade tbick, difi'nse, from two-thirds of costa to near middle of inner margin, 

 its outer edge subdentate; cell-spot reddish, variable in intensity; fringe reddish; 

 marginal dots small reddish, between the veins.
