 lliird segments sometimes more or less infuscatcd : cilia light 

 bronzy, on costa dark fuscous except at ^ of first segment, on 

 n])per mari^in of second and third segments with fuscous apical 

 patches, on lower margin of first segment with fuscous postmedian 

 ])utch nearly reaching a black anteapical scale-projection, on lower 

 margin of second segment with a fuscous median patch and 

 triangular black apical scale-tooth, on lower margin of third 

 segment with a fuscous antemedian patch edged with blackish 

 anteriorly and triangular black apical scale-tooth. ' Hindwings 

 ferruginous, first two segments suffused with dark fuscous ; cilia 

 golden-bronzy, on dorsum with a minute black scale-projection

 emarginate. 



New Guinea, Little Kei I., in January and April ; three speci- 

 mens. Closely resembling alopecodes, but readily distinguished by 

 absence of blackish scale-projection on dorsum of forewings just 

 beyond base of first cleft, and of white rings on legs, absence of 

 da'-k abdominal band beneath, different costal cilia, and other 

 details.

 third segments with fuscous apical patches, on lower margin of all 

 segments with dark fuscous posterior patches seimrated on first two
