Bursadopsis gen. nov. 



Agreeing in all points with Bursar/a except in the stvnctnre of the antennae. 

 In the S the pectinations, thongb ciliated themselves, are very lunch finer than 

 in BiirsadK ; in the ? the antennae are not pectinated at all, bnt merely sharply 

 serrate beneath. 



Type: Bursadopsis prac/luratd sp. nov. 



80. Bursadopsis basalis sp. nov. 



Forewincfs: deep velvety brown, with a small orange spot in base of cell, 

 and a large orange blotch beyond middle, not tonching costa, mnch larger in ? 

 than S, in the S not reaching below vein 2, in the ? with a short tail below that 

 vein ; fringe concolorous. 



Hiiidwings : with the base and hindmargin broadly, the central third of costa 

 narrowly brown ; the rest of wing orange ; middle third of inner margin with the 

 fringe orange. 



Underside like npper. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen brown ; palpi, two spots on prothorax, some 

 lateral spots on abdomen, and terminal si.xth of antennae yellow ; hind-tarsi wholly 

 yellow ; fore- and mid-tarsi yellow spotted with brown. 



Expanse of wings : 6 34 mm. ; ? 3S mm. 



Two (J (J, two ? ? from Laiwni, Obi, September 1807 (Doherty). 



SI. Bursadopsis praeflavata sp. nov. 



? Forewings : velvety brown-black, crossed liy an orange band of nniform 

 breadth extending from jnst before middle to two-thirds of costa, ronnded off before 

 reaching the anal angle, and joining inner margin at three-fourths as a narrow 

 projection ; a minute yellow costal spot before apex ; some yellow scales at 

 hindmargin beyond cell and on submedian fold, produced as 3-ellow spots in the 

 otherwise concolorous fringe. 



Hindivings : orange, with broad black marginal border with internally irregular 

 crennlate edge from about middle of costa to above anal angle, the orange forming 

 a somewhat rectangular projection in middle. 



(J with the orange band of forewings much reduced, not more than half as wide 

 as in ?, from costa just beyond middle, and not reaching below vein 2 ; the costal 

 edge of the orange patch more thickly dotted with black than in the ? ; no yellow 

 scales before hindmargin nor spots in the fringe, bnt the yellow dot before apex 

 is present ; in the hiudwings the internal edge of the marginal border is less 

 irregular, more uniformly curved. 



Underside like upper, bnt the base of cell of forewings with some yellow 

 scales. Head, thorax, and abdomen, above and below, and legs all black ; sides 

 of abdomen and inside of fore coxae yellow. 



Expanse of wings : J 20 mm. ; ? 28 — 30 mm. 



Four (?c?, five ? ?, from Sndest Island, Louisiade Archipelago, April 1898 

 (Meek). 



In one ? the orange band of forewings above is narrower than in the rest, 

 and ronnded off as in the SS, bnt below vein 2; on the nnderside, however, it 

 agree.s with normal ? ? .
