Lepidoptcra from the South Pacijic. 193 



3 and 4 stalked, G aud 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing with 7 from near 

 base to near transverse vein. 



3. Crethcis cymatodcs, n. s. 

 5 , 24 mm. Head ferruginous, with a white band between 

 antennae. Antennae white. Palpi, thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 ochreous-yellowish. Fore wings moderate, triangular, hind margin 

 rounded, slightly waved ; light ochreous-yellow, with about four- 

 teen waved slightly curved purplish brown lines ; hind margin 

 with dark reddish fuscous dots on and between veins ; cilia pale 

 ochreous-yellow. Hind wings somewhat elongate, hind margin 

 bent below middle, waved ; colour, hind-marginal dots, and cilia, 

 as in fore wings ; four waved purplish brown lines on posterior 

 half of wing, bent below middle, and indications of lines on 

 anterior half. 



New Hebrides (Mathew) ; one specimen. 



Remodes, Gn. 

 Palpi very long, straight, porrected, with appressed scales. 

 Antennas stout, flattened, simple in both sexes. Middle tibitc in 

 male without spurs ; posterior tibiae in male without spurs, tarsi 

 bent, clothed with long hairs, extremity aborted ; posterior tibias 

 in female with middle-spi;rs absent, end-spurs very short. Fore 

 wings with vein 6 from a point with 9, 7 from angle of areole, 10 

 anastomosing strongly with U, 11 rising out of 10 before 9, 12 free. 

 Hind wings with veins 3 and 4 stalked, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anasto- 

 mosing with 7 from near base to near transverse vein ; inner 

 margin in male folded to form three superposed pockets. 



I have not seen a male of this genus, and the character 

 of the inner marginal pockets of the hind wings may 

 probably be variously modified in different species. Two 

 species have been described from the Malay Archipelago ; 

 a third is given here, and I have a fourth undescribed 

 from Eastern Australia.

 Abdomen and legs ochreous-whitish. Fore wings moderate,
