shaded at the edges with bluish grey, there is a discal series of small blnish grey 

 luniform spots, parallel to the postdiscal series and abont 1 — 1^ ram. distant from 

 it: a series of black dots between the two rows, somewhat deeper black than the 

 ground-colonr of the wing ; in middle of wing there is another series of indistinct 

 black dots, to the upper three of which are joined outwardly bluish grey spots, 

 while the last two or three are bordered basally by a bluish-grey line.

 tyjje : 6. A series of both sexes. 



AGARISTIDAE. 

 8. Mimeusemia lombokensis javana subsp. uov. 

 ? . Resembles in markings more the S than the ? of the Lombok torm ; the 

 postmedian band of the forewing is much more dilated behind, being 4 mm. broad at 

 vein 3 ; on the hindwing the black border is narrower in middle, but wider behind, 

 than in S of lombokensis, thus appearing deeply sinnate ; the black patch in 

 middle of costal margin on underside of hindwing, joined to the black costal edge 

 of wing, is much more clearly marked. 



Hub. Lawang, E. Java, IS'.'T (bought from Mr. H. Frnhstorfer) : 2 ? ?. 



GEOMETKIDAE. 

 9. Milionia callimorpha brevis subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Hindwing considerably shorter than in M. callimor/fka euroa and calli- 

 morpha, bat longer than in M. brevipennis. Band of forewing as in euroa, generally 

 somewhat broader anteriorly. Band of hindwing above narrower than in euroa. and 

 callimorpha ; on underside it is in the S wider than in both these forms, reaches to 

 vein 8, and is posteriorly, between vein 2 and abdominal margin, densely washed 

 over with coal-black scaling that forms two couflneut patches, rest of band without 

 such scaling; in ? the band is not much narrowed in front, being 3 to 4 ram. wide at 

 vein 8 and 5 or 6 mm. at abdominal margin ; the band extends mostly beyond vein 8. 



In both sexes the black marginal area of the hindwing contains sometimes 

 a yellow spot posteriorly of very variable size ; in one of the males there is, above, a 

 yellow spot between veins 7 and 8. 



Abdomen as in callimorpha callimorpha.

HEPIALIDAE. 

 111. Oenetus marginatus misimanus subsp. uov. 

 <? ? . Differs from typical marginatus in both sexes iu the marginal band of the 

 hindwing being considerably wider in front and extending to the anterior angle of 

 the wing. In ? the middle band of brown spots on the upperside of the forewing 

 consists of three rounded spots, one behind and two before middle of disc, and a 

 number of brown lines.
