Drasteria magnifica, n. sp. — Primaries rich brownish fawn color, 

 a sHght basal line enclosing on internal margin a distinct black velvety- 

 spot. On costa some large triangular brown blotches, not extending 

 beyond the median nervule, some faint brown waved median lines, and 

 an oblique sub-marginal line. Behind this a double row of black points, 

 and a regularly toothed marginal line, the dentations rather deep ; mar- 

 gins brownish. Secondaries smoky, with ochreous waved median 

 shade. Abdominal and external margins also ochreous, the latter with 

 toothed marginal black line. Thorax brownish. Abdomen ochreous 

 smoky, tip ochreous. Beneath wholly ochreous, with smoky shades 

 on primaries. i <? . 



Exp. wings 58 mm. Length of body 25 mm. 



The largest species of the genus known to me. 



GEOMETRIDiE. 



Calledapteryx opinaterata, n. sp. — Body and wings ochreous 

 brown. On the primaries is a broad median space, widest on costa, 

 constricted in the middle, and widening again to internal margin. This 

 space is edged in front with a brown distinct line. Posterior edge brown 

 on costa, whitish in the middle, the median nervules also whitish. The 

 posterior margin has a brown dash at the base of the sinus, the other 

 spaces being freckled and clouded with darker brown. Secondaries a 

 little more ochreous than primaries, with similar median space, edged 

 with brown and whitish, and very deeply toothed externally in the 

 centre. Some whitish shades near anal angle, and a dark brown shade 

 at base of costal prominent tooth. Beneath wholly ochreous, with brown 

 freckles, most distinct on the margin of the wings. i 9 • 



Exp. wings 40 mm. Length of body 15 mm. 



As far as I know this is the second species of the genus yet discov- 

 ered. It is very like C. dryopterata. Pack. (Monog. Phalsenidae, p. 

 313) but is much larger, differing also in the form of the band on 

 primaries, and by the absence of the dark shades on the internal mar- 

 gin. 



Mecoceras Schausaria, n. sp. — Bright apple green, with a slight 

 bluish tint. The costa Ls pale, and on the wings are numerous bright 

 red dots and dashes, almost invisible without a lens. There is an oblique 

 submarginal band common to both wings, yellowish, with some red 

 spots, a more distinct red spot as the band reaches the internal margin, 

 and again at the anal angle. Beneath wholly pale green. Legs and 

 abdomen whitish beneath, both with long hairs, especially on hind 

 tarsi. AntenucTe testaceous. i $ . 



Exp. wings 45 mm. Length of body 22 mm. 



Somewhat resembling M. peninsularia, Gr. but the color is much 

 brighter, and the bands and spots less distinct.
