( 343 ) 



of which two before and two beyond the middle can be made ont ; these dark 

 markings are indicated on the costa by fine black lines, the pale intervals between 

 them by ochreous dots ; fringe concolorons. 



Ilinihvinqs : without lines or bands, but covered with brownish fnscons inter- 

 lacing striae. Head, thorax, and abdomen dingy fuscous, like the wings. 



Underside with ground colour paler, rendering the reticulations jilainer ; 

 costal area of forewings olive fuscous, the pale intervals bright pale rosy ; along the 

 upper part of the cell and prolonged halfway to apex is a bed of coarse, semi-erect, 

 dark ferruginous scales ; beneath tliis, along the middle of the cell, and thickening 

 outwards, is a layer of long curved ochreous grey hairs ; while along the median 

 vein is a row of alternate ferruginous and velvety black scales, intermixed with erect 

 lustrous blue scales ; below the cell and reaching as far as the submedian fold is 

 an ochreous yellow patch, dusted with brown, and crossed by two tine lirowu lines, 

 followed externally by a large patch of ferruginous scales. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One <S from Bonthain, Celebes, 3000—7011(1 ft., August 1896 (W. Doherty) ; 

 another specimen from Dorei. 



10. Symphleps perfusa sp. nov. 



Differs from S. ochracea Pag. in that both wings are suffused with deep 

 fulvous, the transverse lines being hardly darker and becoming distinct only in the 

 lower half of forewing, and so not forming reticulations ; in the hindwings the lines 

 are thickened and partially double, only slightly deeper than the ground colour ; no 

 sign of cell dot in either wing, above or below ; no marginal row of dark dots, 

 only some indistinctly expressed dark scales towards apex of each wing ; costa of 

 forewing with eight snow-white dots, three beyond, five before the middle ; of the 

 last the inner four sometimes tend to become obsolete towards base. 



Underside of forewings with indications of a darker central band ; the 

 distinction between dark and light fulvous more apparent ; the white costal dots 

 towards base elongate ; the intervals on the costa of hindwings whitish. 



Expanse of wings : 19 mm. 



Three ? ? from Bonthain, Celebes, 3ll()0— TOOO ft., August 1890 (Doherty). 



This seems a good and distinct form ; the wings are narrower, and the whole 

 insect smaller than ochracea Pag. 



Family CRANITDAE. 



11. Acropteris munda sp. nov. 



Foreivings : white, with very fine but numerous short grey striations ; two oblique 

 grey stripes from inner margin at one-fourth and just beyond middle, approximating 

 towards apex, and in the plainest marked specimens meeting in a rounded point 

 about vein 7 ; two fainter grey lines of striae before the hindmargin ; the space 

 between the first and second lines and that beyond the second are freest from striae 

 and ap])ear paler ; fringe faintly grey. 



Ilindwiiigs : with the outer three lines produced but generally more diffuse ; a 

 small black sjjot in the tail ; fringe whitish ; a fine dark line along margin from 

 apex to tail only. 



Underside in both sexes white.
