median vein, varying in si^e and distinctness i ia ob^ pxample in which the cell- 

 patch is nearly obsolete this spot is wanting ; fringe wholly concolorons. 



Hindwiiujs ; rich oniugp, with u broad brown-black border along costa and 

 hindmargin, swollen ut iuial angle and interrnpted by the orange ground-colour, 

 which is here thickly dusted with fuscous scales, and followed by a black projection 

 pointing towards apex, and produced laterally along vein 1 as a wedge-shaped 

 mark towards base of wing, leaving the inner marginal edge orange. 



Underside of forewiugs with the three patches bright orange, all enlarged, the 

 hrst connected with base by a yellow stalk ; the fringe ])alc beyond cell and sub- 

 median fold. Hindwings as above, but the projection above anal angle disconnected, 

 and the inner margin wholly orange. Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous ; the 

 abdomen with lateral orange stripes. 



Expanse of wings : i 32 mm. ; $ 34 mm. 



Four JcJ.two ? ? , from St. Aignan, Lonisiade Islands, October 1897 (A. S. 

 Meek). 



■ Distinguished from the nearest allied forms by the absence of the basal shoulder 

 and semihyaline patch of forewings, and by the wholly brown frinpe of the upper 

 side. 



ill I. Bursada radicata sp. nov. 



Akin to B. basistriga Wlk., bnt the ground-colour velvety olive-brown, with 

 all three yellow markings mnch narrower, the middle one sometimes as slender as 

 the basal streak ; in the hindwings the dark border is mnch broader at the anal 

 angle, and is produced along the inner margin to the base of the wing. In one ? 

 the hindwings are marked with a distinct black cell-spot. 



Expanse of wings : 4(i mm. 



Four iS, two ? ? , from Goodenough, D'Entrecasteanx Islands, December 1896 

 (A. 8. Meek). 



111. Bursada nnifascia sp. nov. 



Forewings : brownish black, with a speck of yellow on the median vein near 

 middle ; a broad postmedian fascia, narrowly touching costa at three-fifths towards 

 anal angle, its margins sinuous and irregularly erenulate ; fringe concolorons. 



- Hindwings : yellow ; a broad brown-black marginal fascia from before apex to 

 above anal angle, diffusely extended along inner margin, with a blunt projection in 

 the diffuse area above anal angle, and a similar projection from costa before the 

 commencement of the marginal fascia. 



Underside similar, but the forewings with a broad oblique dark central fascia, 

 containing a yellow spot in its midst, and a yellow subbasal blotch prolonged 

 narrowly in the middle to the base. Head, thorax, and abdomen brown-black. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



Two iS, three ? ?, from Woodlark Island, 1895 (A. S. Meek). 



Nearest to B. interspilata Warr. from St. Aignan. 



112. Craspedosis extenuata angustata subsp. nov. 



■ Differs from ty-pxcaX- extenuata Wlk. in having the large discal white blotch 

 of forewing, which in that species almost touches the costa, restricted to a small 

 oval blotch between veins 'i and o ; the white fascia of the hindwiug much
