by a grey stripe ; body white, antenna3 pale bronzy brown ; pri- 

 maries below and costal and external borders of secondaries shining 

 pale brown; a marginal series of black dots; remainder of

 Expanse of wings, 30 mm. 



Gayndab. 



In general tint and pattern this species much resembles 

 Lcucania kwinii, but the differences of structure will at 

 once separate it. 



CAEADEINIDiE. 



Cakadrina, Ochs. 



19. Caradrina striolata, n. s. 



Primaries above dnll copper-brown, costal border dull whity 

 brown, boimded below by a diffused blackish streak, which passes 

 through the cell and then obliquely upwards to apex; a zigzag 

 black line across the basal fourth ; reniform spot small, outlined in 

 black, and immediately followed by a transverse irregularly undu- 

 lated black discal hne from subcostal vein to inner margin ; a series 

 of unequal longitudinal discal black dashes upon the veins, and a 

 marginal series of black dots commencing at outer third of costal 

 margin ; fringe grey, spotted with yellowish at the base and 

 flecked with white ; secondaries creamy white, with a slender 

 dusky marginal hne towards apex, and two greyish spots traversed 

 by a darker line on the fringe ; head and front of collar dull 

 whitish ; thorax fuliginous-brown ; abdomen whitish ; primaries 

 below pale shining bronze-brown, the disc in some lights changing 

 to ash-grey ; internal area whitish ; fringe blackish, with pale basal 

 dots ; secondaries pearly white, with a broad costal brown border 

 not extending quite to the base ; pectus white ; legs and venter 

 pale greyish brown. Expanse of wings, 25 mm. 



Viti Islands. 



Belongs to the same group with C. cuhicularis, of 

 Europe. 



PiADINOGOES, n. g. 



Allied to Caradrina, but differing in its narrower 

 primaries and in neuration, which is that of Hi/di-illa 

 {II. palustris), the subcostal branches and the second 

 and third median branches of the secondaries being 

 emitted from footstalks ; the palpi sufficiently distinguish 

 this genus from Hydrilla, as they are gently curved 

 upwards and not fringed.
