Subfamily STEUHHINAE. 

 Til. Chrysocraspeda concentrica sp. nov. 



J'orciriixjx : (lull jiiiik, thickly covered with dull red .strigue. which aloiij^ costa 

 uud more broadly along hiiidmiirgin are condensed into a dull inu'ijlish suft'iision ; 

 a curved dull red line at four-fifths, indistinct towards costa, with the pinkish 

 gronnd-colonr paler on each side of it ; liindmargin narrowly yellow, ])oiuted at 

 a})ex ; the edge of the red ground-colour irregularly crenulate and brighter ; a dnll 

 j)ale cell-spot ; fringe yellow. 



IliiKliciiiij.'! : with a small round dull red basal patch, edged and centred with 

 darker ; a thick curved dull red line at two-thirds ; the rest as in forewings ; but 

 the whole of the central area paler, not dusted with red. 



Underside duller. Face deep red above, paler below ; vertex, antennae, and 

 basal segments of abdomen dark red ; thorax and abdomen generally pinkish. 



Expanse of wings : 23 mm. 



One (? from St. Aiguan, November 1897 (Meek). 



Like ('. regalis sp. nov., with the yellow hindmargiual band uninterrupted 

 in middle. 



Another S from Woodlark Island, March 1897 (Meek), has the whole wing 

 deep red.

AVben describing this species from South Java, I had only a ?. Along with a 

 second ? , evidently referable to this s])ecies, since received from Tambora, Island 

 of Sambawa, came also three S 6 , captured at the same time, and presumably the 

 same species. These diifer rather considerably from the ? ? , and might easily be 

 taken for a distinct species. The ground-colour is a paler greyer rosy, but thickly 

 speckled with deeper ; the costa, deej) red at base, becomes yellow, in one instance 

 broadly yellow, towards apex ; beyond the red cell-spot there are traces in both 

 wings towards the costa of an outwardly bent deep red postmediau line ; the rosy 

 tint reaches the hindmargiu, and there becomes deep red, leaving only some very 

 shallow Innulate sjiaces of yellow between the veins. lu the ? the hindmargin 

 is broadly yellow, with a red tooth at middle to the margin. In the hindwings 

 of the S S the white discal spot is continued, but less markedly, to the base of tlie 

 discocellular. 



Three SS, one ?, from Tambora, Island of Sambawa, June 189G, 2500—4001) 

 feet (Uoherty). 



72. Chrysocraspeda regalis sp. nov. 



ForewiiKjs : bright blood-red, very finely speckled with thirkcr, wit iiout mark- 

 ings ; hindmargin narrowly yellow, acutely pointed at apex and anal angle ; edge 

 of red ground-colour irregularly crenulate and brighter red ; fringe yellow. 



Ilin(hrin(j» : the same, but witli a silvery white oval cell-spot. In both wings 

 the red ground-colour assumes a deeper, more purplish tint before the yellow 

 hindmargin. 



Underside precisely similar, but paiei' and dulli-r. Head, vertex, antennae, 

 thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm.
