shade gradnally narrowing from anal angle of binilwings to costa of forewings, which 

 it does not reach ; cell-spots and marginal spots blackish. Face dark brown ; palpi 

 ochreons-j'sllow beneath, the terminal joint darkfnscous; thorax and abdomen green; 

 third and fourth segments of abdomen marked with red and black scales. 



Expanse of wings : 4o mm. 



One ? from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, December 1898 (Meek). 



Received with a scries of E. ohscurafa : the forewings have the hindmargin 

 more deeply excised below the apex. 



4J. Gelasma (?) perlineata sp. nov. 



Forewings: mealy green, the costal edge whitisli ; the lines dark green, 

 regularly dentate ; the first curved from one-fifth of costa to one-third of inner 

 margin, the second from two-thirds of costa to just beyond middle of inner margin, 

 both ending in red spots ; cell-spot round, dark brown, edged with reddish; marginal 

 line fine, red, broadly interrupted at the ends of the veins ; fringe .apparently green. 



Ilinfhciiiys : with outer line curved ; no inner line. 



Underside whitish green. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale green. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



One ? from Tugela, Solomon Islands (Woodford). 



Almost exactly like Anoplosceles nigripuiwta Warr., from "W . Java, but the 

 hindwings are not acutely tailed at middle. In appearance more like a Ileniistola. 

 Till the 6 can be compared I leave it provisionally in Gelnsmn.

There appear to be two forms of this insect. In the typical form from Woodlark 

 Island, which occurs also in Rossel Island, the anal region of hindwings is occupied 

 by a squarish dark olive-green blotch above, partially shown as a fuscous blotch 

 below, the outside edge, darker than the rest, running from anal angle to radial and 

 there stopping. In the other form, from Suer, Mefor, and from Sudest Island, the 

 dark anal blotch is absent above, and below the submarginal line is shown by a row 

 of rusty spots on the veins from anal angle to apex. The ? of tliis latter form differs 

 considerably from the S ; all the lines and shades are much more defined in greyish 

 buff, this colour forming a broad postmedian fascia containing a postmedian line 

 marked by black spots on veins from two-thirds of costa to three-fourths of inner 

 margin, bent at vein 4, the fringe being buff, with a dark basal line towards anal 

 angle. In the hindwings the outer third of wing, except the extreme apex, is 

 bnff speckled with darker, the postmedian line is dentate but marked by black 

 points only on veins 3 and 4, and there is a smoky black submarginal shade from 

 before apex, which in one strongly marked example develops into a coal-black blotch 

 towards anal angle. The dark fuscous markings of the underside are much more 

 developed than in the i . The largest ? from Sudest Island expands to 39 mm. 



44. (Enospila (?) simplex sp. nov. 



Forewings : apple-green ; a curved, strongly zigzag pale line at two-thirds, 

 before which the green tint is slightly deeper ; cell-spot red-brown ; fringe yellow, 

 with a fine interrupted red-brown basal line. 



Hindwings : the same, the cell-spot larger. 



Underside pale green ; the fringes green.
