490 Mr. E. Meyrick on some 



three-fourths from costa ; an indistinct white subterminal line from 

 apex to anal angle, touching hind margin in middle, upper half 

 curved inwards, lower half thrice sinuate ; space between second 

 and subterminal lines on upper half, and beyond subterminal line 

 towards apex suffused with whitish ; a pale reddish semicircular 

 anal blotch, anteriorly bounded by second line, including a blackish 

 ring occupying anal angle ; a white hind-marginal line, marked 

 with a black dot in middle and another above anal blotch ; cilia 

 pale green, tips whitish. Hind wings with hind margin obtusely 

 bent ; veins 3 and 4 stalked, 6 and 7 stalked ; bright yellowish- 

 green ; three or four indistinct white strigulfe on basal half; second 

 line white, subdentate, strongly curved ; subterminal similar but 

 very indistinct ; space between second line and hind margin pale 

 reddish on upper half, sprinkled with blackish, including an elon- 

 gate semi-oval white marginal spot at apex, and a ferruginous spot 

 below this ; a cloudy whitish anal blotch, extending to second line ; 

 a white hind-marginal line, marked with three or four blackish 

 dots about middle, and another at anal angle ; cilia round apex 

 white, thence to middle pale reddish mixed with ferruginous, lower 

 half pale green, tips whitish. 



Port Moresby [Kowald] ; one specimen. This species 

 so closely approaches i^artita, Walk., that it also is 

 doubtless referable to Eucrostis ; I formerly placed it in 

 lodis provisionally, but without examination of structure, 

 having only seen the British Museum specimens. 

 E. calliptcra is a much smaller and more neatly-marked 

 insect than E. ijartita, and the palpi are green, not dark 

 reddish-fuscous ; the pectinations of the antennae are 

 relatively much longer ; the latter point appears con- 

 clusive as to their specific distinctness. 



CoMOSTOLA, Meyr. 

 To the generic characters should be added : Posterior tibiae in $ 

 with all spurs present. Fore wings with veins 3 and 4 sometimes 

 stalked, 11 anastomosing with 12 or free.
