Tliis genus is akiu to Arhodia Giieu., from which it is distinguished Lv the 

 creunlated hindmargiu of the wings and the rostriform i.aljii. In the forewings 

 veins 7, 8, 9, 10, arc stalked from the upper cud of cell ; 11 anastomoses with 12 

 and 10 with 11 : in both wings the radial rises from a little above the centre of 

 discocellnlar.

The type from the Felder Collection being nni(iue, I was unable at the time 

 of describing this genus to denude the wings. HaN-ing lately examined a pair 

 from Grahamstown, South Africa, I can now correct the neuration as formerly 

 given. The upper radial rises, as usual, from the upper angle of cell ; veins 7, 8, 

 9, 10, are stalked from just before 6 ; and 11 anastomoses with them, forming a 

 single areole. 



The ? is smaller than the i and has peri'ectly simple antennae. 



Subfamily ORTHOSTIXIXAE. 



15. Bytharia latimargo sp, nov. 

 Like Bytharia marginata 'Wlk. from Ceram, but with the black border twice 

 as wide, even in the S S; antennae slenderly bipectinate. 

 Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 

 Two S<S from Etna Bay, Dutch New Guinea, August 1896 (Capt! C. Webster). 



Subfamily DYSPHANIINAE. 



Dysschema gen. nov. 



Forewings: with costa straight for two-thirds, then convex; apex blunt: 

 hindmargiu obli(|nely curved. 



lliMhcings: with ajwx rounded, the anal angle square: hin<lmargiii with 

 a well-marked elbow in middle, thence straight to anal angle. 



Antennae of S shortly and uniformly bipectinate, of ? simple. Palpi porrect, 

 terminal joint jiointed ; tongue and frenulum present ; hindtibiae of S stout, with 

 four short spurs. 



Neiir-ation : forewings, cell barely half as long as wing ; discocellnlar in- 

 angnlated, the lower arm more oblique ; first median nervule at two-thirds ; second 

 and third from lower end of cell ; lower radial from a little below upper end ; 

 ui)per radial shortly stalked with 7, 8, 9, 10: 11 free, approximated to 12 in 

 middle, llindwings with both subcostals and last two medians short-stalked : 

 radial as in forewings. Scaling fine and close, not hairy as in Dysphania. 



Type : JJys»cheina goniata sp. nov. 



10. Dysschema goniata sp. nov. 

 Forewings: dark ])urple, with a white postmedian blotch from beyond cell 

 towards anal angle, twice as large ia the ? as in the cJ. 



llindicinys: white, with the hinilmargin broadly purple, more so in 6 than
