 oranjre bands, -with somewhat angular edges ; the pale bands of yellow groiind-colonr 

 between tbem formed of series of globnlar spots ; costal region finely dnsted with 

 black ; marginal area with innumerable very minnte black points and scratches, 

 some of which extend into the base of the orange fringe. 



Ilindwings : the same. 



Underside very similar, but more distinctly marked ; the costal edge more 

 strongly marked with blackish dashes than on npperside. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen yellow spotted with orange. 



Expanse of wings : 16 mm. 



One ? from Ron Island, July IsOT (Doherty). 



11. Banisia recti viata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale rufous brown, the veins darker ; finely reticulated with darker 

 and with the lines deeper brown ; costa at base browner ; a curved line at one-fifth ; 

 a straight thick brown lino from before middle of costa to before middle of inner 

 margin ; a little beyond it two fine brown lines start from the costa, the first 

 irregularly waved and partly double to two-thirds of inner margin, the second 

 running obliquely outwards to below vein 4, and then forked to before and above 

 anal angle; a curved brown line from before apex to the end of vein 4 ; fringe 

 concolorons, with slightly darker basal line. 



Hindiviiujs : with a straight dark line near base, another near middle, donble 

 below the median, and there forming an irregular aunulns ; a straight tliick line 

 from middle of costa towards anal angle continuing" the straight line of forewings ; 

 two fine curved lines beyond, becoming snbmarginal and throwing oft' spurs to 

 bindmargin. 



Underside the same. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from Ansus, Jobi Island, April, May 1S07 (Doherty). 



13. Hypolamprus cossoides sp. nov. 



Forewings : fulvous yellow, suffused towards base along costa and inner margin 

 with vinous brown, and marked with irregular transverse striae of the same colour ; 

 a linear cell-spot vinous ; slight marginal spots between the veins ; fringe con- 

 colorons. 



Hind wings : similar. 



Underside paler, with the markings fainter ; traces of a vinous curved ante- 

 median streak on both wings. Head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish, mixed with 

 vinous scales ; the shoulders altogether vinons. 



Expanse of wings : 54 mm. 



One c?_from St. Aignan, November 1897 (Meek). 



Forewings with costal insinuate in middle, convex before apex, which is 

 shortly falcate ; bindmargin sinuous ; hindwings broad ; the apex bluntly rect- 

 angular ; hindmargin well rounded. 



As it agrees with IL/poIamprus in the neuration, I have placed it in that 

 genus ; but it will probably rcijuire a new one.
