snbmarginal field confined to anal region oulj-, forming there a large snbquadrate 

 patch. 



Underside nniform dnll rosy. 



Palpi ochreons below, liright ]>iniv above; face deep red ; fillet and antennae 

 ochreous ; vertex and base of shoulders bhick-lirowu ; thorax and base of abdomen 

 like wings ; anal segments of abdomen and the underside paler, more ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



1 ? from Gnizo Island, Solomons, November 1903 (Meek). 



Probably a Mesotrojthe.

 13. Gonanticlea deleta spec. nov. 



Exactly like Gonanticlea sublustris Warr., except that the central fascia is 

 merely denoted by the pale limiting lines marked by black specks on the veins, the 

 broad black bands oi sublusti-is being restricted to the costal area as for as vein 6 ; 

 the whole wing is thus reddish grey-brown, with a slight leaden purple tint beyond 

 outer line. If this had been the only difference, however, I should have considered 

 it merely an aberrational form ; but the forewings of the 3 on the underside are 

 without the pilose scaling by which sMuiftris is characterised. 



Expanse of wings : S 39 mm. ; ? 3.5 mm. 



1 cJ, 1 ¥ from Upper Aroa River, British New Guinea, March 1903 (Meek) 

 taken along with a typical S examjile of siibl/istr/s. 



From the black costal markings the insect superficially assumes the likeness of 

 a large Li/r/i-anon.

 14. Neoscelis cristata.

Neoscflis rii-uki Hmpsn,, Jnuvii. Bombay N. IT. Six. xiv. p. G.39. no. 3748b. ? fig. (1902). 



The description of JV. rivida Hmpsn. and the figure apply perfectly to 

 G. crisfdta Warr. sunk on p. 640 l)y Hampson to G. (h'Uta. The insect also occurs 

 at Penang, in the Andamaiis (coll. Swirih.), and in New Guinea; but all the 

 examples are ? ?. On examination of the New Guinea examples I find that 7, 11, 

 10, S, 9 of forewings are stalked together as in Neoscelis Hmpsn. and Adefa Warr., 

 which latter will probably have to fall to Neoscelis. But at present there are 

 considerable differences between the genera. In Adeta semifascia AVarr. and in the 

 New Guinea examples of cristata the hiudtilnae have a single long middle spur, 

 and the antennae of the ? are simple, not ciliated ; vein rises from the centre of 

 the discocellular, and 6 from tlie depressed upper end of the cell ; further, in semi- 

 fascia, the type oi Adcfa, vein 11 does not anastomose with 12, as is the case in 

 cristata. 



Subfamily TRIOHOPTERYGINAE. 



15. Anthierax subfulva spec. nov. 



Agrees in most points with the dcscri})tiou of A. malaca Meyr. {Remodel) from 



New Guinea, but the palpi are externally coal-black, not green ; the outer lobe of the 



liiiulwing of t? is blunt, and lielow, the tuft in the fringe between tlie outer lobe
