in micklle, throwing off a spnr to bindmargiu below the bend and bifurcate at 

 anal angle, and a marginal shade from apex; a hyaline spot on the inner edge 

 of central fascia; fringe worn, bnt apparently concolorons. 



IliiHtirinqs: with the ferruginons ground-colour almost obliterated by a dense 

 smoky fuscous suffusion: an obscure blackish spot at end of cell. 



Underside dull red, with the fnscous markings of both wings much clearer. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen ferrnginous cinereous. 



Expanse of wings : 2<> mm. 



One S from Pennngali, X. Borneo, December 1893 (Cator). 



Mr. Meyrick, in describing his Siculodes platyntis, a ? ,from Pulo Laut, remarks 

 on the very broad scales of the thorax ; the two species are probably allied, but 

 scarcely identical, />/«('/»</« expanding only 15 mm.

The examination of a nearly jierfect specimen of this insect from Lugula, 

 Usogo, dated December 1890, enables me to supplement the original description. 



The forewings have the costa well curved, the apex somewhat produced ; the 

 hiudmargiu oblique and slightly concave, so that the anal angle is square. The 

 costa is marked with geminated dark grey spots, tending to be produced into 

 paler streaks, the spots towards the apex becomiug darker and denser. Two pale 

 grev oblique bauds from inner margin near base and beyoud middle unite below 

 apex ; these bands are hardly resolvable into two darker lines ; two very obscure 

 lines of dark striae before the hiudmargin. The bands are produced across 

 hindwings as a narrow basal and broad median band, followed by a narrower band 

 from before apex to above anal angle, the spaces between the bands and before 

 hiudmargin being also varied with grey strigae. On the median vein of forewings 

 beneath is a thick tuft of white scales, the under surface of which next the wing 

 is darkened and shows through above in certain lights as a deep blue-black 

 oval spot. 



In the forewings the discocellular is oblique and straight inwards, not distorted; 

 the lower radial from about its centre ; veins 6 and 7 on a long stalk. The hind- 

 tibiae are much thickened, with three stout spurs. Anal tufts of the i largely 

 developed.

The type was from Palawan. In examples from Dongala, south of Palos Bay, 

 Celebes, there is a strongly marked basal line, parallel to the median line, on 

 both wings ; and on the hindwings the additional spot on vein 3 is very slightly 

 marked, or quite obsolete. 



III. Urapteroides recurvata sp. nov. 



Forcivinys: white; the costa with numerous small squarish black dots; 

 three fuscous ochreotis lines across wing; the first from costa at one-fourth, bent 

 on subcostal, then oblique and straight to before middle of inner margin ; the 

 second thicker, straight, from just beyond middle of costa to inner margin before 

 anal angle, slightly nearer first line here than on costa; third from four-fifths
