lii. Striglina reversa sp. nov. 



Forewhigs : bright brick-red, strigulated and reticulated with olive-fnscons; the 

 costa olive-fuscous ; two more prominent transverse lines or shades of the same 

 colour ; one from before middle of costa to beyond middle of inner margin, slightly 

 waved ; the other from three-fourths of costa towards hiudmargin, before which i^ 

 ramifies and is retracted to inner margin before anal angle ; a series of marginal 

 black spots ; fringe red. 



Ilindwings : with the outer line only, which appears as a continnation of the 

 inner line of the forewings : the veins towards hindmargin in both wings marked 

 with deeper red and olive-fuscous. 



Underside paler, with the markings as above. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorons with wings ; the tips of the shoulders olive-fuscons, continuing the 

 costal streak. 



Expanse of wings : 'i~ mm.' 



Two 6S from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, October and November 1898 

 (A. S. Meek). 



The legs are less hairy than usual in the genus. 



IT. Striglina variegata sp. nov. 



cJ Fofpu-inffs : pale ochreous, dusted with darker; the markings greyish or 

 rufous ; costa with six distinct black blotches, the sixth connected with a subcostal 

 black blotch obliquely below it ; a curved antemedian and median fascia, which 

 sometimes coalesce, when the whole basal half becomes rufous or grey; submarginal 

 fascia represented by an irregular cloud above anal angle, preceded on inner margin 

 by a small tiiangular mark with black edges ; fringe rufous, with a brown or 

 blackish spot at apex. 



Hindwinffs : with an antemedian and broad submarginal rufous fascia, in some 

 cases more or less confused except along costa. 



Underside with the markings darker and more concise ; costa of forewings 

 without black blotches. Thorax and abdomen of the pale ground-colour of wings ; 

 face and vertex white ; palpi rufous. 



? differs from <? in having the ground-colour darker and the costal blotches of 

 forewings brown or rufous ; and in particular by the narrower median fascia being 

 connected with the submarginal fascia by an oblique arm running towards apex. 



Expanse of wings : cJ, 28 — 30 mm. ; ? , 32 — 36 mm. 



Four S_ c?, two ? ?, from Milne Bay, British New Guinea, November 1808— 

 January 1800 (A. S. Meek). 



The species may be recognised by the outline of the hindwings which protrude 

 and are bluntly bent at middle of hindmargin ; in the ? the hiudmargin of fore- 

 wings is also strongly rounded below, and incised before the apex which is produced ; 

 the (J shows the same peculiarities in a less degree. 



IS. Symphleps ochracea ab. pallida nov. 

 Forrwinqs : pale straw-yellow, crossed by slightly darker ripjilcd lines ; costa 

 deep brown at base ; costal edge dark brown between the white sjjots which are 

 more numerous than in 5. ochracea, Pag. ; cell-spot small, dark brown, at lower end 

 of cell ; fringe very pale brown.
