Lcpidoptcra from the South Pacific. 197 



rately arched, hind margin moderately rounded, slightly waved ; 

 light ochreoua-yellow, basal half siiffusedly strigulated with deeper 

 ochreous-yellow ; costa broadly strigulated with dark grey, more 

 strongly towards base ; a deep ochreous-yellow hardly curved 

 streak from centre of disc to inner margin beyond middle ; a broad 

 rather dark fuscous-gi-ey hind-marginal band, anterior edge 

 irregular, running from before two-thirds of costa to anal angle ; 

 cilia gi-ey (imperfect). Hind wings moderate, apex somewhat 

 prominent, hind margin slightly rounded, waved ; colour, strigula- 

 tion, and cilia as in fore wings ; a nearly straight entire deep 

 ochreous-yellow central transverse streak ; a moderately narrow 

 dark fuscous-grey hind-marginal band, nearly evenly broad 

 throughout, anterior edge indented above middle. 



Port Moresby, New Guinea iMathciv) ; one specimen. 



Celerena, Walk. 



Face smooth. Palpi moderate, porrected, basal joint rough- 

 scaled, second joint smooth-scaled, attenuated at apex, terminal 

 joint moderate, cylindrical. Antennae rather more than half fore 

 wings, in male filifonn, towards apex thinly ciliated. Thorax 

 densely hairy beneath, and with a double dense expansible tuft 

 between second and third pairs of legs. Abdomen beneath with 

 basal tuft of long fine hairs, and a large prominence near base, 

 clothed with a dense cushion of long hairs. Posterior tibiae greatly 

 dilated, and with a long expansible tuft of hairs on inner side in 

 middle, their apex prodiiced above into a long horny projection, 

 median spurs below middle, long, slender, crooked, outer about 

 two-thii'ds of inner, terminal outer spur absent, inner stout ; 

 j)osterior tarsi with basal joint long, its median third dilated 

 beneath into a large rounded projecting plate, second joint very 

 short, somewhat swollen. Fore wings beneath with a fold con- 

 cealing a deep furrow above posterior half of cell ; vein G from 

 below 9, 10 and 11 long-stalked, 10 anastomosing at a point with n 

 before 8, 12 anastomosing strongly with 11 before 10. Hind wings 

 with veins 6 and 7 separate, aiDproximated to 7 towards base. 



It is probable that the various tufts of hair and 

 abnormal structures of the legs are mainly sexual and 

 specific characters, and are not to be considered as 

 essential to the genus, which is sufficiently distinguished 

 otherwise ; they are therefore only provisionally included 

 in the generic definition.
