bnt niiiseriate, the pectinations curved and close, thickened towards their extremity 

 aud ciliated thronghont, gradually decreasing in size towards the apex. At present, 

 as far as I know, the type species is the sole representative of the genus. 



3. Striglina cnrvilinea spec. nov. 



Very much like S. scitaria Wlk., for which it may he easily mistaken ; bnt the 

 dark oblique line of forewing does not run straight from apex to middle of inner 

 margin, but is curved outwards and reaches inner margin beyond middle, brown, 

 and less strongly marked than in scitaria ; the gronnd-colour is oclireous yellow 

 and the striae brown ; a very faint brownish mark stands at the upper end of the 

 cell, from which there is sometimes the trace of a straight line of connected striae 

 meeting the obliipie line at vein 2. On the hindwing tiie line is aiitemedian and 

 thicker, and a curved line of striae runs from costa beyond it to near anal angle. 

 Underside the same, both wings with small brown cell-spot. 



Expanse of wings : c? 22 mm. ; ? 2o mm. 



1 (?, 1 ¥ from Bougainville, Solomon Islands, April 19i»4 (Meek). 



I have seen other examples from the Solomon Islands, but have passed them 

 over as small scitaria. 



4. Striglina scalata ab. nigrata nov. 



Differs from the type form of scalata Warr. in having the forelegs, the base 

 of patagia, the basal segment of abdomen, and often the segmental rings, black : 

 all the dark markings of the wings are at the same time more numerous and 

 blacker. In the ? especially the dark markings are strongly expressed and the 

 ground-colour flushed with fulvous.

5. Epiplema brunnea spec. nov. 



Fi>re/ri/}ff : smoky grey-brown, without speckles except along costal edge ; 

 the lines thick, dark brown ; first obscure aud interrupted, at one-third, marked by 

 a slight cnrve or angle in cell and on submedian fold ; outer line at two-thirds, 

 nearly vertical, but slightly outbent at vein 4, and inbent on sulimediaii fold ; 

 a waved submargiual line from apex to vein 3 ; the two outer lines are edged 

 outwardly, and the liasal inwardly with ferrnginous ; liindmarginal area slightly 

 paler brown ; fringe brown. 



Iliii'liring : with outer line angled on vein 4 and pale-edged outwardly; 

 a brown streak on discoeelliilar, meeting a brown line along median vein ; a brown 

 shade from upper tooth to below lower tooth ; marginal area paler. 



Underside of forewing dull smoky brownish, i)aler along inner margin ; of 

 hindwing paler, with dark jjostmedian line. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; face and palpi black. 



Expanse of wings : 20 mm.

Hindmargin of forewing bent at veins and 3 ; hindwing toothed at 4 and 7.
