136 ON SOME HETEROCERA FROM SARAWAK 



25. Parasiccia marginipuncta sp. nov. 



This species agrees with the genus Hyposiccia in having 

 vein 11 anastomosing with 12, but the palpus is longer and 

 reaches well to the vertex of the head. Veins 4 and 5 of the 

 fore wing are separated at their origin. 



cf 9 • cT with antennae bipectiuate with moderate 

 branches. 9 antenna serrate with fascicles of ciha. 



Fore whig white with blackish-brown lines and spots. A 

 dot at the base and one at base of cell. A spot on costa near 

 base, a larger one beyond it from which runs a discal line; 

 discal line curved outwards to edge of cell and thence straight 

 and directed inwards to inner margin, accentuated by a dot 

 on lower edge of cell, one on submedian, and one on inner 

 margin. A rounded spot in middle of cell, and one on the 

 discocellular. Two post-discal lines separated by a space less 

 than the distance between cell-spot and discocellular spot. 

 These lines are accentuated by costal spots from which they 

 curve outwards to margin of cell and vein 7, thence incurved 

 to vein 4, the inner one broken by the discocellular spots, and 

 directed obliquely inwards to the inner margin on which they 

 bend slightly outwards ; these lines are accentuated by dots 

 on the veins. A submarginal line of spots on the veins, the 

 one at the apex being larger. A series of 6 marginal dots 

 between the veins, interspace 3 without a dot. A slight 

 brownish marginal suffusion between vein 4 and the apex. 

 Hind wing white with a slight brown tinge. 



Underside white with a brown tinge. Antennae, head, 

 thorax, and abdomen grey- white. Palpi grey- white, black at 

 the sides. Legs grey- white, fore and mid legs marked with 

 black. Anal tuft of cT pa-le buff. 



Length of fore wing (j' ^ 12 mm. 



Hah. Mt. Poi, 6200 feet— 2 d*, 1 9 (cT and 9 Types); 

 7350 feet— 1 9 . 



26. A sura crust ATA sp. nov. 



Distinct from other forms of this genus in the possession of 

 a band of raised scales in the cell of the fore wing. 



(2f. Fore wing crimson mixed with yellow, but slightly 

 rubbed. Costa and outer margin narrowly black; a black 

 costal mark reaching the discocellular s, a second mark proxi- 

 mal of this but faint. Cell rather narrow and filled by a 

 mass of raised scales having a mother-of-pearl gloss. Lower 

 edge of cell bent outwards, giving place for a dense tuft of
