and 9 stalked, vein 10 from immediately before tlie upper angle of the cell, vein 11 

 long bent upward towards vein 12, and reaching nearly as far as 10. Secondary 

 with three internal veins — vein 4 from the extremity of the cell, veins 3 and 5 from 

 jnst below and above it respectively, 6 and 7 stalked, a bar to 7 from the cell, vein 8 

 free from base. Frenulum present. 

 Type : S. nigrostigmata spec. nov. 



59. Squamosala nigrostig'mata spec. nov. (PI. V. f. 47). 



(?. Head, palpi, and antennae pale reddish brown, head and palpi rough and 

 hairy, thorax darker reddish brown, with very dark central stripe, abdomen paler, 

 but with darker dorsal area. 



Primary pale reddish oohreous, the basal two-thirds covered with darker rough 

 reddish scales, with a slight irroration of superimposed fine black scales in parts, 

 the species having thus a very rough appearance ; below the costa beyond the cell 

 is a black stigma pupilled with reddish, below which is an irregular black stripe 

 to the inner margin. Secondary pale reddish ochreous. 



Expanse : 39 mm.

Family LASIOCAMPIDAE. 

 Cycethra gen. nov. 



? . Palpi small, hairy, antennae shortly pectinated to the tip and with cilia. 



Neuration : primary \b forked to near a quarter, 2 from the middle of the cell, 

 3 from long before angle, 4 well before angle, .5 from angle, from upper angle, 

 7 from beyond middle of areole, 8 and 9 separate from end of areole, united by a 

 bar to form areole, which is unusually long, reaching to near apex, 10 from well In 

 front of end of areole, 11 long from cell. Secondary with one internal vein, 2 from 

 near middle of cell, 3 from well in front of angle, 4 from the angle, 5 from above 

 the angle. 6 from the upper angle, 7 from the cell, 8 quite free. Frenulum absent. 



Type : C. aroa spec. nov. 



60. Cycethra aroa spec. nov. 



? . Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown. 



Primary reddish brown, sparingly clothed with scales so as to appear sub- 

 hyaline, with two obscure dark round spots in the cell, and a postmedial dark grey 

 nearly straight stripe, palely edged internally, beyond which the ground colour is 

 greyish. Secondary with two obscure dark grey spots in the cell, that nearer the 

 base being very obscure ; the marks of the primary are precisely carried through the 

 secondary. 



Hab. Aroa River, January 1903. 



The termen is too torn to enable me to give the exact expanse, but the unique 

 type is not less than 10.5 mm. It is in the Tring Museum. 



The genus is very aberrant, belonging neither to the Limacodidae nor correctly 

 to the Lasiocampidae, as it has only one internal vein to the secondary, but as the 

 frenulum is absent it will be better to include it in the latter family.
