like wings ; the middle segment of abdomen with a brownish bar, corresponding to 

 the straight antemedian line of hindwings. 



Exjianse of wings : 22 ram. 



One c? from Knlambangra, Solomon Islands, I'JOl (Meek). 



Hindwings with a very slight tooth at middle of hindmargin. 



Crypsiplocia gen. nov. 



Another development of Perixera, with which it agrees in the main character- 

 istics ; distiugnished by the structure of the forewings of the S. Instead of 

 having a flap folded over above, as in Plocuclia Warr., this genus has a fold along 

 costa beneath, beginning close to base and widening to two-thirds of costal 

 margin, concealing a bed of ddwny hair. 



Ty])e : V. pulcinaris sp. nov. 



40. Crypsiplocia pulvinaris sp. nov. 



Forewiiifis : ochreons, dusted with reddish scales ; lines as in Plocuclia. 

 postposita ; basal line ontcurved above and below median ; an oblique dentate 

 median shade ; a dentate lanulate outer line ; this and the basal marked with 

 red-brown points on the veins ; the outer line is nearer the hindmargin than in 

 pontpofiita ; tlie inner dark edging of the snlimarginal line is narrower and more 

 continuous, and the outer edging is marked by slight cloudy wedge-shajied spots 

 between the veins ; marginal spots small, red-brown, between the veins, aud 

 minute points at their ends ; fringe concolorons ; no cell-spot visible in the 

 forewings. 



Hiiuhcimjs : similar ; the cell-spot oval, with red-brown edge, not sinuate 

 as in Plocuclia. 



Underside uniform pale ochreons without markings ; the costal fold con- 

 colorons. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorons witli wings ; palpi aliove and top of 

 face narrowly reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 3<.i mm. 



One S from Guadalcanar, Solomon Islands, April— May, lOiil (Meek). 



47. Lipomelia kuehni sp. nov. 



Forcwliuji : with basal and marginal area jiearly grey, the intervening space 

 vinous red, deepening towards the limiting lines, which are deep vinous, and paler 

 at the centre, which is traversed by a fine median line ; first line from costa before 

 middle 'is dentate outwards on veins 6 and 4, convex basewards between them, 

 then runs in along median vein halfway to base and curves to inner margin at 

 one-fifth ; outer line from tliree-fourths of costa runs obliijuely outwards towards 

 hindmargin, is angled outwards on vein •■> and inwards at vein 3, rounded to the 

 submedian fold and vertical to inner margin before anal angle ; the fine median 

 line is dentate outwards on the veins, most i)rominently on veins 6, 4, and 3 ; 

 a faint grey submarginal shade ; marginal line red-brown ; fringe pearly grey. 



[lindivings : with the first line nearly straight ; only the marginal space pearly 

 grey ; the basal area the same as the median. 



Underside pale ochreous grey, the markings sliowing through.
