242 ON SOME LEPIDOPTERA FROM THE FLY RIVER, 



I have given the generic characters, because I am not aware 

 that the genus has been properly denned before ; the name is 

 therefore adopted by courtesy. I conjecture that Walker's genus 

 Bursada is merely a synonym of this, but it is equally 



uncharacterised. 



2. Ctim. synestia, n.sp. 



(J. 27 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 blackish. Fore wings somewhat elongate, triangular, costa gently 

 arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; black, with 

 orange-yellow markings ; an oblique transverse oblong spot in disc 

 at J, its upper angle connected with an irregular streak almost 

 from middle of base, which projects beneath near its origin, and 

 again less strongly in middle ; a large transverse oblong blotch 

 about I, not reaching costa or anal angle, posterior edge sinuate, 

 lower extremity rounded : cilia black (imperfect). Hind wings 

 with hindmargin rounded ; orange-yellow, with a rather narrow 

 black marginal band extending from middle of costa round apex 

 and hindmargin to base of inner margin, dilated round apex, 

 forming an abrupt rounded projection upwards on anal angle, 

 along inner margin attenuated and less defined ; cilia black. 



One specimen. 



LITHOSIAD^. 



Peronetis, n.g. 

 Antennae slender, filiform, in £ thinly ciliated on apical half. 

 Palpi short, curved, ascending, loosely scaled beneath, pointed. 

 Forewings with vein 2 from near beyond middle of lower margin 

 of cell, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 from near 3, 6 from near 7, 7 and 8 

 stalked, 9 absent, 11 anastomosing with 12. Hind wings with 

 vein 2 absent, 3 and 4 from point of angle, 5 absent, 6 and 7 long- 

 stalked, 8 from middle of upper margin of cell ; in <J inner 

 margin broadly folded over beneath, an oval patch of thickened 

 membrane covering posterior half of upper margin of cell. 



3. Per on. xenodora, n.sp. 



£. 22 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax ochreous-orange. Antennae 

 dark fuscous, apical half obscurely ochreous. Abdomen dark
