( 335 ) 



Underside slightly yellower ; hairs of hindwings thickened and tufted towards 

 aual angle, causing a slight folding under of the fringe there. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous. 



Expanse of wings : 15 mm. 



One S from Sudest Island, April 1898 (Meek). 



Both the costa and inner margin of hindwings are slightly concave, the 

 hindmargin being convex. 



57. Leptomeris postlineata sp. nov. 



Forewings : white, witli exceedingly fine black atoms ; no antemedian lines ; 

 cell-spot small, black ; four postmedian lines ochreous-grey ; first from two-thirds 

 of costa to beyond middle of inner margin, perfectly straight and oblique ; the 

 outer line and two submarginal Hues irregularly waved, the inner of the sub- 

 marginal lines the thickest of the four ; minute black marginal dots at the ends 

 of the veins ; fringe white. 



Hindicings : the same, without the cell-sjjot. 



Underside white, without markings. 



Vertex, top of face, upperside of palpi and forelegs rufous ; rest of face, collar, 

 thorax, and abdomen white. 



Expanse of wings : S 26 mm. ; ? 30 mm. 



A pair marked simply India. 



In the ¥ the lines are all finer, and the outer (second) line is altogether 

 wanting. 



58. Plocucha cristata sp. nov. 



Forewings : pale ochreous, slightly dusted with darker ; the costa at base 

 marked with black-brown ; first line near base, marked by black vein-dots ; an 

 indistinct curved central shade ; outer line from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds 

 of inner margin formed of blackish dots on veins, parallel to hindmargin ; sub- 

 marginal line obscure, between two darker incomplete shades : marginal spots 

 large, black ; fringe concolorous ; the basal end of the costal flajD black-brown. 



Ilimlwings: the same, the basal line marked by black dots in a straight 

 line ; median shade more distinct ; cell-mark large, angulated, with a thick 

 black edge. 



Underside pale ochreous, without any markings. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 ochreous, abdomen with black dorsal spots. Face and palpi brownish red. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



One 3 from Tugela, Solomon Islands (Woodford). 



The costa of forewings is strongly shouldered at two-fifths from base, the 

 middle third of costa being occupied by a thick scaly fold, the outer portion of 

 which reaches to below middle of cell. The neuratiou is abnormal ; the cell 

 is only one-fourth of the length of the wing ; the discocellular vertical ; the 

 first median rises at one-half, the second and third are stalked; radials normal, 

 but the upper one slightly bent beyond cell ; veins 7 and 8 are stalked from 

 one-half of cell, and somewhat distorted; 10 and 11 are stalked, and both much 

 thickened, from near base ; 'J apparently absent ; 10 and 11 run into the shoulder, 

 7 and 6 to apex.
