!'■». Striglina mediosecta AVarr., Nov. Zool. Vol. V. p. 424. 



The type described from Kei Island, a ^, was the only one sent. I have since 

 seen another <? from Ron Island, accompanied bj' two ¥ ? . These are slightly 

 larger than the cJc?, and ditl'er especially in being rufous instead of brown, closely 

 approaching in appearance the alierration r'llpina of S. deramta Warr. 



Family URANIIDAE. 

 21). Stesichora unipuncta sp. nov. 



Intermediate between <S'. nivea Warr. from the Kei Islands, which is spotless, 

 except for three or four costal dots on the forewings, and titdidii Kirsch, from New 

 Gninea, in which the hindwings have three marginal spots. The present species has 

 a single large spot in the tail of the hindwings. The forewiugs have three or funr 

 dots on costa towards base and two larger ones near ajiex. 



Expanse of wings : 48 — 52 mm. 



Two $S from St. Aignan, August — November 1897 (Meek). 



This form also occurs on Goodenough Island. 



In view of the sliglit, though constant, dift'erences in these local forms, it seems 

 advisable to consider all three as subspecies of AValker's -S'. pxelhiria, from Amboina 

 and the neighbouring islands, which has always five spots on the hindmargin of 

 hindwings. In all the forms the c? has a well-marked fovea in the forewings. 



Family EPIPLEMIDAE. 

 21. Dirades pendula sp. nov. 



Forewings : grey, tinged with fawn-colour ; the costa with fine black scales ; 

 first line blackish, indistinct, outwards curved, from one-third of costa to middle of 

 inner margin, where it forms a small black spot ; second line from five-sixths of 

 costa, strongly curved, black, edged externally with jale, incurved above vein 4, 

 then vertical to inner margin before anal angle ; between veins 4 and 5 the black 

 inner edge swells out into a round spot with black nucleus, and forms another black 

 spot at inner margin ; a row of fine black submarginal dashes : fringe concolorous. 



Hindwings : with the outer line yellowish, bluntly angled in the middle, and 

 edged inwardly with black scales below costa and before the inner marginal fold ; 

 some black and fulvons marks along the median vein, and some blackish ill-shaped 

 Innnles along margin between veins 3 and 7, which are slightly produced. 



Underside pale grey. Head, thorax, and abdomen grey ; face and palpi brown. 



Expanse of wings : 10 mm. 



One S from Bali, low country, Jlarch — April 1890 (Doherty). 



22. Epiplema atrifasciata sp. nov. 



Forewings : dark grey ; the costa black-speckled ; first line from one-fourth of 

 costa to one-fourth of inner margin, very indistinct and interrupted, angled outwards 

 in cell, and shortly followed there by the blackish cell-spot, which is followed by a 

 short dash of pale scales ; outer line velvety black and broad, from two-thirds of 

 costa to four-fifths of inner margin, bluntly angled below the middle, then parallel 

 to hindmargin and fine, but preceded near inner margin by black scales running
