SiBi-AMiLY EUMELEIXAE. 

 Eumelea rosalia Cram. 



Cramer's type, from ,\inl)ciina, represents a very distinct-looking insect, with pure 

 yellow fringes, rosy wings, and a yellow basal streak on the forewings. To this no 

 siiecimens hitherto seen, as far as I know, actually correspond. If then, as seems 

 probable, Cramer's figure is to be considered as inexact, iadovicata Gruen., which does 

 occur in Amboina, would ap})ear to be the most likely rei)resentative of it. And so, in 

 the Zeller collectiou, there were two examples, from Amboina and Morty respectively 

 — answering precisely to an example in the British Museum collection from Amboina 

 — which were labelled, the one rus(dia Cram., the other romdiata Fab. ; neither agree- 

 ing with Cramer's figure, and both referable to the redder forms of ludovicdta. For 

 the present, however, consideiing the great vai-iety of local forms which exist in the 

 insects of this genus, I prefer to leave Cramer's species as distinct.

This form appears to be confined to the easternmost portion of the Indo-Malayan 

 region. There are six specimens in the British Museum collection which can be 

 included under this head : four ? ? from Cerain,New Guinea, North Australia, and the 

 Kei Islands respectively, and two (JcJ from the Kei Islands and Celebes. Of these the 

 ? from Ceram and tiie 6 from Celebes represent a blurred and suffused variety, while 

 the pair from the Kei Islands have the red varied by a si)rinkling of yellow over the 

 wings. The remaining two ? ? from New Guinea and North .Australia are the reddest 

 of all, and are most likely the form which Mr. Meyrick has identified as rosalia Cram. 



Slui-amily CYLLOPODINAE. 

 Atyria Hiib.

 Distinguished from Atyria lliih. liy having the S antennae beset with pairs of
