RATTTRNIIPAE. 



8. Coscinocera hercules heros snbsp. nov. 



(?. Differs from the three known forms of lurculi's (see Nov. Zooi.. Y. p. 09. 

 1898) especially in the shape of the small eye-spots. 



Upjierside somewhat darker than in hercnlcs hcrriile!<, i\w bamls a little more 

 obscure. Eyc-si)ot of forewiug :3J mm. distant from discal baud, ulilinue, irregularly 

 ovate, costal and basal sides forming almost a semicircle, ontwardly as bluntly 

 pointed as in (?w/>/;a/«, diameters 11 and 7 mm. : hyaline centre 6 mm. long, standing 

 obliquely to veins, triangular, but the angles rounded off, upper edge only 21 mm. 

 long (in the direction of veins). Eye-spot of hindwing transverse, ~\ mm. long, 

 slightly oblique, ovate, pointing backwards, ii mm. wide, outer side more oblique 

 than inner side, 6 mm. distant from black discal line ; hyaline centre transverse, a 

 mere dash, of barely 1 mm. width. 



On underside the hyaline spots are encircled with a dirty ochraceons line npon 

 which follows costally and proximally a purplish black line, the hyaline spot of the 

 hindwing longer than above and wider. 



Hal. Rossel I., Louisiade Archipelago (A. S. Meek, March 1898), 1 cj. 



I have also received a pair of Coacinoccra hercules from Sudest Island : the cJ 

 (which is badly damaged, both tails being wanting) agrees with the type of hercules 

 heros almost perfectly, only the eye-spots of the wings being more rounded and 

 slightly smaller. The ? has the bands on both wings much more strongly and 

 clearly marked than the S, the eye-spots agree in shape with those of the S , but 

 are larger : widest distance of black ring of the spot of the forewiug from lilack 

 half-moon of cell 4J mm., shortest distance from discal black line U mm.; black 

 ring of the spot of the hindwing 9 mm. distant from subbasal black line, 4 mm. 

 from discal black line. 



GEOMETRIDAE. 



9. Milionia pumilio sp. nov. 



?. Body above and below glossy metallic green-blue : abdomen black beneath. 



Wings black. Upperside, forewing without gloss, except at extreme base, 

 faintly bine in sidelight, a short streak at base before SM-, and a curved band 

 across disc orange-ochraceous ; the band of nearly even width, 4 mm. broad at R^, 

 more distal anteriorly than in laticitta, and more distal posteriorly than in glauca 



fflauca ; fringe all lilack as in (/laxca. Hindwing as in ijlmira from the Southern 



Moluccas. 



Underside : band as above, metallic gloss as in yhca'a. more gi'cen-blue. 



Length of forewing : i.'l J mm. 



Hah. Sumba, September 1890: 1 ?, received from Mr. II. Frnhstorfer 

 Probably only a small race oi (/huiea. 



AGARISTIDAE. 



I'-i. Episteme conspicua sumatrana snbsp. nov. 



?. Body as in Bom&an conspicua, Nov. Zooi,. III. ji. 29. n. 0. (1896), bnt spots
