slightly worn near base ; median obscnre and obliqne from nearly three-t'ourths of 

 costa to middle of inner margin ; outer line from six-sevenths of costa to four-fifths 

 of inner margin fine, dentate-lnnulate, followed by a clondy snbmarginal shade ; 

 cellspot small, black. 



Ilimlwings : with curved anteniediau and postmediau dark liiie-i, a black 

 cellspot, and two darker shades in tlie deeper-coloured marginal area. 



Underside yellowish ocbreous, with a pink tinge ; the outer line only shown.

Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One S from Selaru, Teuimber Islands, March — April 1897 (Micholitz). 



The entire fringes are gone ; there ai)pears to have been no mari;-inal line 

 or dots. Hind-tarsi of 6 nearly as long as hind-tibiae, which are scarcely thickened, 

 and not aborted, but without spurs. 



17. Craspedia imdilinea sp. uov. 



Foreiviiigs : bone-colour, dusted with dark scales ; the lines greyish ochreons ; 

 the first curved, at one-third ; the median shade from two-thirds of costa to middle 

 of inner margin slightly sinuous, somewhat diffuse, sometimes tinged with fulvous ; 

 outer line grey, thick, denticulate, i'rom five-sixths of costa to four-fifths of inner 

 margin ; snbmarginal line pale, waved, between two ochreous bands ; cellspot 

 black, distinct ; a row of black marginal dots ; fringe concolorous. 



Hindwings : without first line ; the cellspot larger and prominent. 



Underside with cellspots, outer line, and marginal spots distinct ; I'orewings 

 towards liase and costa washed with grey. Face black-brown ; vertex, thorax, 

 and abdomen like wings. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



Several specimens from Lifu, Loyalty Islands. 



Perhaps a local form of parasira Meyr. ; the ground colour paler, and the 

 exterior line much more strongly expressed ; in the prominence of the cellspots 

 of hindwings it agrees with C. discata Warr. 



18. Eois carneofasciata sp. nov. 



Foreivings : cream-colour, more yellowish along costa, dusted with grey towards 

 base, and with traces of a curved line at one-third ; outer line distinct, irregularly 

 ■wavy, at three-fourths, indented on submedian fold ; followed by a lilac-grey fascia 

 of uniform width, its outer edge parallel to the outer line, and starting from the anal 

 angle, abruptly stopping at vein ; beyond the pale snbmarginal line which 

 succeeds the Aiscia, the marginal area is pale lilac-grey : fringe pale, witli obscnre 

 dark dots beyond the veins ; cellspot small, but distinct. 



JJindwutgs : with the outer line and darker marginal area less distinct. 



Underside the same ; the basal half of each wing greyer. 



Face and palpi dark brown : vertex, thorax, and abdomen cream-eolnur.

One ? from Mt. Arjano, Java (W. Doherty). 



The forewings are elongate, with the apex produced, the hindmargin oblique 

 and straight ; hindwings small, with ronnded hindmargin which is slightly incised
