touches the outside of the second (the straight) line, between veins 2 and 3 ; and 

 sometimes there is a smaller spot between the same veins beyond the next Hue ; 

 iu the hindwings there is a small sjwt beyond cell beyond the third line, and two 

 small spots obliquely below it between veins 2 and 3. The three 66, from which 

 this further description is taken, are from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, collected 

 by A. 8. Meek iu December ls08. 



lo. Banisia ypsilon sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale greyish ochreous, the lines and reticulations brown ; the latter 

 very fine ; a brown line from costa at one-third, below which it is carved, to two-tifths 

 of iuuer margin ; at two-thirds of costa a straight brown line to four-fifths of inner 

 margin, shortly forked at costa ; an oblique line from five-sixths of costa to middle 

 of inner margin, also forked at costa ; a waved line from anal angle not reaching 

 costa ; a fine marginal Hue. 



Hindwings : with a nearly straight brown line a little before middle ; a finer 

 Hue from two-thirds of costa to before middle of hindmargin ; a curved line between 

 these, forked on hindmargin. 



Underside the same, the chief lines edged with rusty suffusion. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen concolorous. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One S from Dammer Island, December 1898 (H. Kiihu). 



A larger specimen is in the British Museum Collection from Gayndah, N. 

 Australia. 



11. CamptocMlus decorata sp. nov. 



Foreivings : ground-colour whitish, with the base, and three fasciae, an temetUau, 

 postmedian, and snbmarginal, reddish-brown ; these fasciae have sinuate dentate 

 edges, the brown tint rnnniug out slightly along the veins, so that the intervening 

 jmle fasciae are composed of contiguous flattened globular spaces between the veins, 

 the centres of which are filled in with paler brown, leaving small luuulate spaces at 

 their edges of the white ground-colour ; the postmedian fascia contains a small pale 

 costal space ; fringe wide, pale brown. 



Hindwings : similar. 



Underside like upper, but the browu tints somewhat paler. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen reddish browu. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



Three ? ? from Rossel Island, February— March 1898 (Meek). 



The costa of forewings is strongly insinuate beyond middle and convex before 

 apex. 



12. Letchena angulata sp. nov. 



Forewings : shining mouse-colour, with numerous short black dots and striae, 

 more or less horizontally disposed between the veins ; an oblique whitish hyaline 

 blotch beyond lower angle of cell, extending from the submedian fold to vein .5, 

 consisting of from three to five contiguous small s])ots : fringe concolorous ; the 

 hindmargin is jiruduccd intu a lilnut tooth I'roui veins 3 tci f), above and below wliicli 

 it is irregularly excised. 



Hindwings : with three rows of detached lound white spots between veins 

 2 and 6 ; in one example eacli row consists of two white spots ; in the other the top
