111. Gonophaga albipuncta sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale fawn-colonr, speckled witli fuscons, and towards hiudmargin 

 tinged with brown ; the lines marked by fnsoons dots on veins ; first from one- 

 fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin, oblique to subcostal, then vertical ; 

 second from three-fourths of costa, oblique outwards to vein 6, then oblique inwards 

 to inner margin just beyond middle, and therefore approximated to first line ; 

 cell-spot annular, with white centre and dark edge ; a cloudy curved postmedian 

 shade ; submarginal line indistinct, dark l)rownisb, marked by black white-centred 

 dashes on veins beyond it ; marginal line lunnlate and dark above the angle, brown 

 below it ; fringe brown, like the marginal tint. 



Hivfhrings : with cell-spot as on forewings ; a curved postmedian line of black 

 dots ; submarginal line nearly straight from just before ape.x to anal angle, dark 

 brown, edged externally with pale, which between veins 4 and 0, and and 7, is 

 developed into a whitish spot ; marginal half of wing tinged with deep brown 

 except beyond submarginal line from anal angle to middle. 



Underside yellow, strignlated with brown ; outer lialf <if wings deep brown, 

 becoming lilac-grey beyond submarginal line ; inner edge of the brown fascia 

 sinuous, preceded by a row of black spots on the veins ; cell-spot white with brown 

 edge, the lower half of median shade brown ; hindwings the same. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen ochreous, speckled with fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 6 30 mm. ; ? 44 mm. 



One (J from Ron Island, July 1897 (Doherty) ; two + ?, one c?, from Sudest 

 Island, April ; two <S S, one ?, from Rossel Island, February — March 1898 (Meek). 



In forewings veins 10 and 11 are coincident, anastomosing with 12, 10 not 

 afterwards anastomosing with 8, 9, as in Anisogrnjj/ic Warr. ; but in shape of 

 hindwings the species agrees with Gonophaga rather than with Anisograpke. In 

 one ? from Sudest Island vein 10 does anastomose at a point with 8, 9.

Having seen many more examples of this variable species, I am satisfied that 

 my variabilis is identical with Walker's incomptaria. Among five specimens 

 (one ?, four i S), lately received from Sudest Island, collected by A. S. Meek, 

 one i in particular is so strikingly marked that I here record it as aberr. 

 pallidiplaga. The ground-colour is a mixture of deep brown and purplish grey ; 

 the lines, the upper half of central fascia, the apical blotch and submarginal shade 

 are brown ; but the inner margin from near base to beyond middle bears an 

 irregular yellowish ochreous patch extending to the median vein, and transversed 

 by the inner, median, and exterior brown lines. Hindwings dark purplish fuscous, 

 the patch at anal angle brown with a yellow spot on it on inner margin.
