242 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptions of 



obsciu'e j'ellowisli spots ; a moderately broad ochreons-yellow 

 hind-marginal band, attenuated to anal angle ; cilia light yellow. 



Felder's figure is reasonably good. 

 Fiji (Lucas) ; one specimen. According to Felder, 

 also from Amboina. 



Semioceros, Meijr. 

 88. Semioceros allocosma, n. s. 



^, 23 mm. Head and thorax fiiscous mixed with whitish, 

 collar reddish ochreous. Palpi white, upper edge blackish, apex 

 reddish brown. Antennae very shortly ciliated (]•), not bent before 

 middle ; whitish oclireous, tnft dark grey. Abdomen fuscous, 

 beneath white, with a black lateral line on basal half. Legs snow- 

 white ; anterior tibiae, basal half and apex of anterior femora, a 

 median ring of middle and posterior femora, and an apical spot on 

 middle and posterior femora and tibiae black ; posterior tibiae with 

 outer spurs half inner. Fore wings elongate-triangular, costa 

 sinuate, posteriorly moderately arched, apex obtuse, hind margin 

 sinuate, oblique; rather dark fuscous; alight yellowish ochreous 

 streak along costa, beneath somewhat suffused and reddish-tinged, 

 interrupted at five-sixths by a narrow dark fiiscous bar ; about 

 thirteen prismatic violet-white spots, margined with a darker 

 suffusion ; a small round one in disc at one-fourth, and a larger 

 roimd one before middle ; two small ones placed longitudinally 

 close together above inner margin at one-fourth ; a roundish one 

 below middle of disc, followed by two small ones placed trans- 

 versely ; a rather large transverse cxu'ved-oblong one in disc at 

 two-thirds ; a sinuate transverse row of five small ones, three of 

 which closely follow the large posterior spot, the other two bemg 

 lower down ; cilia whitish ochreous, A\dth a fuscous line and barred 

 with dark fuscous, and with a clear white spot above anal angle. 

 Hind wings rather dark fiiscous, with prismatic violet-white 

 markings ; a broad basal band, outer edge straight ; a moderately 

 broad central fascia, attenuated beneath, anterior edge rather 

 irregular and separated from basal band only by a narrow fascia of 

 gi-ound colour, which is somewhat expanded and internally whitish 

 towards costa, posterior edge forming a short broad projection in 

 middle ; a cm-ved series of fom- small spots close beyond this pro- 

 jection ; cilia as in fore wings. 



The structure of the antennas approaches nearest to 

 S. amphiccddJia. 



Fiji {Midheu-} ; one specimen.
