101. Dasychiroides bicolora spec. nov. (PI. VI. f. 6). 



(?. Head and thorax grey with a dark central stripe ; antennae with orange- 

 red long pectinations ; abdomen dark brown ; legs hairy, whitish with dark 

 bare tibiae palely encircled. 



Primary whitish grey, costa broadly irrorated with darker grey up to the 

 end of the cell, irrorations extending into the cell ; beyond this to near the apex 

 is a large dark brown patch reaching to the lower angle of the cell. The medial 

 serrated line and the snbmarginal serrated line are obscure and interrupted, the 

 ground near them being sparingly irrorated with dark grey ; posterior margin 

 spotted with black, fringes whitish intersected with black at the dots. Secondary 

 uniform blackish brown, fringes of the same colour. 



Undersuiface, both wings entirely dark brown. 



Expanse, 43 — 44 mm. 



Ilab. Dinawa ; Mount Kebea ; Aroa River (Tring Museum). 



I was at first disjjosed to consider this an aberration of D. jyratti, but 

 further material having come to hand from another locality decides me that this 

 is not so, but that it is a well-marked species. It has been taken in August 

 at Dinawa at an altitude of about 4000 ft., and again this year at Kebea 

 mountain, 0000 ft., in March and April. It is also in the Tring Museum from 

 the Aroa River. 



102. Dasychiroides brunneostrigata spec. nov. (PI. VI. f. 8). 



S. Primary white, without any markings till the brown angnlated stripe 

 beyond the cell; this strijje is pale brown with scattered blackish scales in it, and 

 is acutely angled about the sixth vein, where it bifurcates, the inner line ending 

 on the costa above the cell, the outer stripe approaching the apex and widening ; 

 this upper and wider portion is distinctly edged on each side with very dark 

 brown ; the lower and longer portion makes a bold interior curve to the inner 

 margin, between which and the base are two short black dashes on the margin. 

 Beyond the stripe there is a sparse scattering of greyish scales. Secondary 

 uniform dark grey. Head and thorax whitish, with a small grey patch on the 

 collar ; head white ; palpi black laterally, edged and tipped with white ; 

 antennae shortish, with red branches ; abdomen dark grey, anal tuft whitish. 

 This species has the same raised scales as the previous species in the primary. 



Expanse, 51 mm. 



Hah. Dinawa ; Aroa River (Tring Blusenm). 



The type is in my collection. 



103. Lymantria novaguineensis spec. nov. (PI. VI. f. 3.5). 



$. Head and palpi dark grey, the latter tijiped with rose pink and with pink 

 hairs around the base of the antennae ; thorax grey, darkest in the front ; 

 abdomen bright rose pink, with the dorsum centrally striped with white, with 

 the segmental divisions of the white stripe black ; beneath, the legs, pectus, and 

 ventral surface are considerably suffused with rose pink. 



Primary white, with two basal black spots, one on the costa and one below the 

 cell ; a series of three antemedial black spots, that below the costa elongate, a medial 

 interrupted irregular black line rising in a black costal patch ; just beyond this a
