.Sriii'AMiLY DEll-LMINAK. 

 Bapta subnotata sp. nov. 



Foreivings : silky -white, with a small brown spot on the costa at one-third, and 

 another at two-thirds, indicating the origin of the two transverse lines, which are 

 hardly discernible ; cell-spot small, dark. 



Hiwlwings : with a faint brown exterior line, and small cell-spot; fringe white 

 in both wings, with a fine brown basal line. 



Head, face, thorax, and abdomen white. Underside white, with the discal s]iots 

 only dark. 



Kxpanse of wings : 34 mm. 



One (? from Hakodate, Japan. 



This can hardly be a form of B. bimacalnta Fab. 



Orthobrachia gen. nov. 



Separated from Ster/cniia, and the other genera in which the second subcostal of 

 the forewings is wanting, by (1) the d antennae, which are shortly and stifHy bipecti- 

 nate to three-fourths; (2) by the second median of both wings rising before the end 

 of cell, and by the absence of a fovea in forewings. The wings are longer and stronger 

 than in SUyania, resembling those of Heterostegiinia Warr. 



Type : Orthobrachia latifasciata Moore (Stef/nnia). 



Parabapta g<'n. nov. 

 Closely allied to Bapta iStph., but characterised by the antennae of the (^,whicli 

 are armed with short fascicles of curled cilia, and by the e.xcessiveiy short palpn'. 

 Type : Parabapta aetheriata Cxraeser {Bapta). 



ScBFAMiLY BRACCTNAE. 

 Bursada fulvimacula sp. nov. 



Forevniigs : with the basal area, and an irregular sinuous band from the costa 

 at two-thirds, narrowing out towards the anal angle, rich coppery orange, margined 

 with reddish ; rest of the wings black. 



Hindivinfjs : mainly coppery orange; costa and hindmargin black, the latter 

 more broadly at apex and anal angle ; inner margin also black, with a black blotcli 

 before the anal angle. 



Head, thorax, abdomen, and antennae all black. Underside like upper. 



Expanse of wings : (?, 20 mm. ; ? , 22 mm. 



Five t?c?,2 ? ?,from lafu. 



Nearest Synestia Meyr. from New Guinea, but smaller and much richer coloured. 



Dichostrepsia gen. nov. 



In shape of wings, structure of jialpi and antennae, agreeing with Santjalopsis 

 Warr., as also in nenration, except in the following points: in tlie forewings the 

 median nervure is abnormally curved upwards close to the base, and the submedian 

 similarly curved downwai-ds ; between the median, where it is thus curved, and the 

 submedian fold lies an elongated partially scaled bladdery ]iatch. In the hindwings 

 the costal is free, but closely aiii)roximated to the subcostal for a short di.stance 

 Ijefore the middle of the cell. 



Type : D. Iricolorala A\'arr.
