( a-l ) 



yellow rings : metathorax Inteous or wliitish : underside of abdomen yellow ; legs 

 dark fuscons externally, yellowish internally. 



Expanse of wings : ¥, 52 mm. : <?, 45 — 48 mm. 



Two cfcJ, three ?$, from Kapanr. Dutch New Guinea, taken in the low 

 country, December 1890 (W. Doherty). 



The fovea in forewings is sometimes marked with a white spot. 



Subfamily ASCOTINAE. 

 Tl. Paradromulia anomala sp. nov. 



Forewings : rufous grey, with coarse grey and fuscous speckles and with fnscons 

 striae along the costa ; the commencement of the lines marked by blackish costal 

 spots ; first line obscure, from costa at one-fifth, bent on median vein, where it is 

 marked by a bhvckish spot, to inner margin close to base, preceded by a dark shade 

 which is distinct only on inner margin ; second line at two-thirds, sinuate-dentate, 

 strongly bent inwards below middle, and approximated near middle of inner margin 

 to a straight but obscure median line which traverses the cell-spot ; the outer Hue 

 is followed by another, less distinct, which is divergent towards costa, where it starts 

 at fonr-lifths : submarginal line formed of dark pale-tipped lunules, interrupted 

 between veins 3 and 4 ; a row of black marginal spots ; fringe concolorous, chequered 

 with fuscous : tlie cell-spot large, blackish, with tlie discocellular forming a paler 

 centre. 



Hindwint/s : the same, without first line. 



Underside smoky greyish white, with large black cell-spots and a broad dnll 

 fuscous and ochreons submarginal fascia, the hindmargiu and space beyond the 

 cell-spots whiter. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings ; front of 

 thorax somewhat ocliraceous. 



Expanse of wings : 54 mm. 



One (? from Kapaur, Dutch New Guinea, the low country, .January 1897 

 (W. Doherty). 



Larger than the type of the genus, 1'. ambigua Warr. from Fergusson Island. 



In the forewings 10 and 11 are stalked, but instead of separating, as in 

 ambigua, close to costa, 10 runs into and becomes coincident with the stalk of 8 and 

 9 : the costa of forewings is straight ; and the antennae are unusually long, being 

 quite three-fourths of the length of the wing. 



Subfamily SELIDOSEMINAE. 



72. Anonychia flexilinea sp. nov. 



Forewings: brownish ochre(lU^, with the lines dark iirowii, thick; first from 

 near middle of costa, sharply angled in cell, then sinuous inwards to inner margin at 

 one-third, edged inwardly with paler; second hue from a little before apex, sinuous, 

 strongly inflexed below vein 4 to two-thirds of inner margin, edged outwardly with 

 whitish : the base, the central area, and an indistinct submarginal shade darker than 

 the ground-colour ; cell-spot and marginal spots blackish ; fringe coucoliirous. 



Hindviings : paler, with a faint sinuous postmedian line. 



Underside pinkish ochreous, with darker dusting ; the cell-sjiots and outer lines 

 dark brown. Thorax and abdomen like wings ; head and shoulders redder. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One <i from Songive Valley, Lake Nyassa.
