( 3(i() ) 



closely followed by a deutate-lnnulate grey line : a very fine marginal line ; the 

 extreme margin ochreous-tinged ; fringe shining silvery white. 



IliiHliciiKjii : similar, the discal mark smaller. 



Underside white ; the costa brown-black to two-thirds ; the njijipr luniiles only 

 marked. Head black-brown ; palpi beneath whitish ; fore femora fiiscons ; thorax 

 and abdomen white ; the postmediau segments fuscous, ochreons at base. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One d from Ramboekers, Tondano (Weigall). 



Closely allied to P. argi'iiti.^tqnuinn Warr. from Penang, bnt witli tlie discal 

 mark much smaller and paler, and without any silvery scaling at base and ahmg 

 the veins. 



53. Ptochophyle strigata sp. nov. 



Forewitiya : yellowish ochreons, slightly dusted with ferruginous ; the lines all 

 dull ferrnginous : two or three close to base obscnre, curved, forming a sort of basal 

 patch ; a postmedian shade, outcurved to vein 2, but insinuate at middle of curve 

 beyond the black cell-spot ; two broad snbmarginal bands embracing the pale 

 submarginal lines ; the inner of these bands is closely preceded by a row of 

 obscnre dots on veins; the outer is interrupted at middle; fringe concolorons ; 

 marginal spots red-brown, distinct. 



Hindwings : similar, but the basal lines very fine : cell-spot annular with pale 

 centre. 



.. Underside yellowish, nnspeckled; postmedian and two snbmarginal rosy bands 

 on each wing; base of forewing also rosy-suffused. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorous with wings ; face white. 

 Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One ? from Gnadalcanar, >Solomon Islands, April and May, 1001 (Meek). 

 Along with this single ¥ were sent i^ 6 S , very different in appearance and 

 much smaller in point of size ; but I believe them to be the cJc? of this species. 

 Wings dnll greyish rnfons, with no distinct markings bnt the black cell-spots and 

 marginal dots. On close inspection the darker bauds with their jialer interspaces 

 can be made out corresjionding to those visible in the ¥. The underside of 

 forewings is wholly rosy except the pale inner margin, with traces of a deeper 

 outer band ; the hindwings are pale ochreons, with the costa only rosy and a faint 

 outer line. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons with wings ; face as in the ?, shining 

 white. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



The c?c? are very much like P. iiiormda described from Tenimber, but the lines 

 are not luarked, as in that species, by Mack dots. 



Subfamily HYDRIOMENINAE. 

 .'>4. CoUix elongata sii. nov. 

 Forcwingx ; mouse-grey, with a slate-coloured tinge, the lines darker ; 2 or 3 

 indistinct near base ; central fascia witli the edges irregularly dentate Innulate ; 

 both thickened on costa, the outer also above and below cell ; a single dark central 

 line beyond the black cell-tuft ; snbmarginal line preceded by a series of dark 

 horseshoe-shaped blotches ; marginal area indistinctly darker ; fringe concolorous.
