first line preceded by a pale ochreous-yellow fascia except on costa ; 

 discal spot preceded by a small round pale ochreous-yellow blotch ; 

 second line followed by a large pale ochreous-yellow blotch on 

 costal third, and a narrow fascia-like spot on dorsal third. Hind 

 wings suffused with pale ochreous-j^ellowish towards inner margin. 

 Rest as in male. 



Tonga (MatJicw) ; Fiji (Lucas) ; three specimens. 



Macaretzera, n.g. 

 Forehead oblique ; ocelli present ; tongue well developed. An- 

 tennae four-fifths of fore wings (?). Labial palpi moderate, arched, 

 ascending, second joint with dense projecting scales beneath, 

 terminal joint rather short, flattened-conical. Maxillary palpi 

 short, filiform. Fore wings with vein 10 closely approximated to 

 9, 11 very oblique. Hind wings broader by a fourth than fore 

 wings ; vein 3 from angle of cell, 4 and 5 stalked from a point 

 with 3, 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to near middle ; 

 lower median loosely pectinated towards base. 



Although the male is unknown, the genus appears 

 sufficiently distinguished from its allies by the neuration 

 of the hind wings.

 fascia almost on hind margin, deeply indented above middle ; an 

 oval spot in disc before this indentation, infiiscated beneath ; two
