13. Hypolamprus submarmorata sp. nov. 



Interiuediate l)etween //. leopardata Warr., from Cedar Bay, Queensland, and 

 //. unicolor Warr., from Amboina ; of the same size as the former, the forewings 

 with tlie markings much less distinct ; in the hindwings the dark central band 

 forms between veins ij and <i a quadrate deep lirown spot, and the pale fasciae on 

 each side form two s(jnare white spots with a dark central line. 



Underside without the subcostal and cellular coppery patch ; the whole of 

 both wings thickly and regnlarly studded with small black points and striae. 



Four ? ? from St. Aignan, October 1897 (Meek). 



Isothauma gen. nov. 



Like Siculodes and Bhodoneura in shape and markings, but differing in the 

 structure of the cell ; in the above-mentioned genera the upper half of the dis- 

 cocellnlar is vertical and the lower oblique ; in Isothauma the reverse is the case, 

 the upj)er half being oblique and the lower vertical ; this is especially noticeable in 

 the hindwings, where tlio cell is very broad. Cell-spots formed by tufts of raised 

 scales. 



Type : Isothauma opalinula Mab. (Siculodes), from Madagascar. 



Neothyris gen. nov. 



Foreivings: elongate; costa shouldered at base, abruptly convex before apex, 

 straight or even inflected between ; apex minutely subfalcate ; hindmargin curved, 

 much more oblique in the lower half ; inner margin truncate at liase. 



Hindwings : longer than broad ; apex prominent, bluntly rounded ; hindmargin 

 rounded. 



Antennae of c? slightly thickened towards base, pubescent or shortly ciliated, 

 of ? filiform, simple ; basal joint surrounded by an involucre of scales, more con- 

 spicuous in S; forehead with a slight projecting tuft of scales below ; palpi stout, 

 porrect, the basal joint as large as the second, distinct and hairy, the third mnch 

 smaller and smoother ; tongue and frenulum present. Hindtibiae with four long 

 slender spurs ; all the femora fringed beneath with hairs, 



Neuration: cell less than half of wing ; discocellular vertical ; first median at 

 five-sixths, second, third, and lower radial all close together from round lower angle 

 of cell : upjier radial and vein 7 from upper angle, the latter cnrved upwards at 

 origin ; 8, 9 very long-stalked ; 10 and 11 free. Hindwings with the two snbcostals 

 short-stalked, the upper anastomosing for some distance with the costal ; medians 

 as in forewings. 



Type : Neothyris aspirans sp. nov. 



14. Neothyris aspirans sp. nov. 



Forewings: fulvous, suffused with deep brown, and .with blackish brown 

 transverse striae between the veins, forming an incomplete reticulation ; costa with 

 dark oblique striae ; a wavy slightly curved blackish line from one-fifth of costa to 

 one-third of inner margin, less distinct above ; an ill-defined oblique dark wavy line 

 from inner margin just beyond, to beneath costa beyond the cell-spot, the included 

 space generally dark brown : an ill-defined brown cloud beginning narrow at the 

 costa at three-fourths and broadening to anal angle, the space before and beyond it
