same shade and intensity as the thorax with darker markings. There is a minute 

 dark point in the middle of the cell; at the end of the cell there is a sublunate paler 

 spot, surrounded by a very fine outer dark line, most distinct basad; at a point a little 

 beyond the middle of the costa there arises a transverse straight postmedian pale line, 

 which runs from this point to the inner margin, which it reaches a little behind the 

 lower angle of the wing; there is no evidence of a basal or subbasal line, and there is a 

 mere suggestion of a premedian line running from the costa to the inner margin; 

 an inwardly curved submarginal line is suggested by a row of small dark dots; all of 

 these lines are very obscure and poorly defined. Behind the postmedian line and 

 below the lower outer angle of the cell there.is a dark brown diffuse subtriangular spot, 

 and beyond this line on the apical area there is a much larger spot of the same dark 

 shade, the boundaries of which are not sharply defined, but which has the general 

 outline of a triangle with its base on the costa from the point of origin of the post- 

 median line to the tip of the wing, and its apex on vein 5. The hind wing on the upper 

 side is ochreous, and has on its inner margin a large tuft of long hairs, which are a trifle 

 darker than the rest of the wing. On the imder side both wings are uniformly 

 ochreous a trifle deeper in shade than the vipper side of the hind wing. The only dark 

 marking on this side of the wings is a vaguely defined short band of dark scales at 

 the end of the cell of the fore wing. Expanse, 45 mm. 



The type, which i.s unique, was taken at Avakiibi, August 30, 1910, 

 and is in the American Museum of Natural History. 



This small species may be easily distinguished from D. arcifera 

 Hampson, which it comes nearest, by the absence of the subbasal lino 

 of the fore wing, its smaller size, the peculiar dark spots and the generally 

 clouded and diffuse character of the markings of the fore wings.

One male specimen taken at Gamangui, February 11, 1910. It 

 agrees perfectly with the type of the species, with which I have com- 

 pared it. 



Sir George F. Hampson, in his 'Catalogue of the Phalaense,' XII, p. 

 453, gives a good description and a fine figure of an insect, which he 

 determined to be the one to which I applied the specific name producta, 

 as above cited. I am quite positive that he is in error. Neither his 

 description nor his figure agree with the type of Anua {Minucia) pro- 

 ducta Holland, which is before me as I am writing these lines. I have
