57. Crypsimetalla aurata sp. nov. 



Forewim/s : dull golden yellow, suffused with olive-grey scales, except along 

 extreme hiudmargia ; costa striated with purple ; a streak of purplish along sub- 

 costal vein near base ; fringe purplish, chequered with yellow, especially at vein 4. 



Ilituhcings : the same ; fringe yellow, purjile only in the excision. 



Underside bright goldeu-yellnw, with sjiarsely scattered jjurple scales ; fore- 

 wings with some silvery scales on the retinaculum, whicli is purplisb ; a blotch of 

 silvery scales at and below the end of cell, surrounded with i)urplish ; two rows 

 of oval metallic silvery blotches between the veins, postmedian and submarginal ; 

 hindwings the same ; a blotch of silvery scales also on costa near base. Abdomen 

 and thorax yellow ; shoulders, head, and jjalpi raaiidy purplish ; legs and antennae 

 yellow, dotted with purple.

One cJ from Kulambangra, Solomon Islands, January liH)l (Meek) (type) ; 

 a second S, much worn, from Guadalcanar, Solomons, April— May VM\\ (Meek). 



58. Goniopteroloba pallida sp. nov. 



Forewings: pale ochreons, dotted and striated sparsely with fuscous ; the lines 

 ochraeeous, marked irregularly with fuscous, darker and most distinct at costa ; 

 first from two-fifths of costa to one-third of inner margin, obli(ine inwards parallel 

 to hindmargin, irregularly waved and with an appearance of being geminated ; 

 second from two-thirds of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, parallel to inner 

 line, slightly bent outwards on vein 0, and more or less plainly edged basewards 

 with fuscous, f(dlowed by a small fuscous ])atch between veins 3 and 4 ; submarginal 

 line indistinct, except towards anal angle ; fringe ochreous (worn), apparently with 

 a darker line at base in the curve beyond cell. 



Ilinda-ings : with a broader ochraeeous central line, edged on both sides with 

 fuscous scales ; hindmargin crenulate from vein to 4, where there is a decided 

 tooth, from 4 to anal angle short, somewhat truncated. 



Underside washed with yellowish, and evenly striated with fuscous, with the 

 outer line on both wings fine and fuscous. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous ; 

 face and paljji darker, olive tinged. 



Expanse of wings : 24 mm. 



Two c?(? from Bonthaiu, Celebes, 3000 to 7000 ft., August 1896 (W. Doherty). 



Nearest to G. fuscata Warr. from Mindoro, but much paler. 



Subfamily TEPHROOLYSTIINAE. 

 50. Prorocorys gemmata Warr. (Nov. Zool. VI j). 30). 



The species and genus were described from a ?. The S, an example of which 

 has lately been received from A. S. Meek from (iuadalcanar, Solomon Islands, is 

 darker than the ? , the yellowish markings being all reduced, so that, beyond the 

 slight patches along hindmargins and fringe, no other yellowish area occurs, except 

 a somewhat triangular space at middle of costa of forewings : the two anal 

 segments of abdomen are pure yellowish-ochreous, but not the basal segments. 



The antennae of this S are thick, witii very fine short ciliations, not with 

 fascicles of cilia as in Ziriduva Wlk., with which Prorocorys agrees in all other
