new or little known Heterocera from Madagascar. 595 
middle of the wing and a narrow brown streak on inner margin; 
beyond this is a transverse bar of green bounded outwardly by an 
angulated dark line. Towards the costa the brown colour becomes 
deeper, and together with two darker lines, forms a paler ocellus 
beyond which is a faintly-defined white patch with a dark brown 
mark above and then a paler band turning green at lower angle. 
There is a fine black marginal line, fringes brown. H.w. pale 
ochreous with a lunule and darker broken stria, fringes pale.

Dasychira dubia, n. sp. (Plate XXXII, fig. 23.) 
Head, and thorax white, antennae white with a smoky patch 
near the tip, pectinations brown, palpi and legs white with black 
points, abdomen white with darker crest, tuft white. F.w. white 
with transverse angulated black and grey lines: a short black 
streak near base of hind margin, an interrupted basal line, followed 
by an obscure and broken line, then an angulated antemedian line, 
a dot in the cell and a curved black mark at the end. The post- 
median line is double and widely separated at the costa, beyond 
is a subterminal scalloped line, and there are 9 conspicuous black 
dots on the margin, fringes white. H.w. grey, slightly paler at 
base, some obscure marginal dots.

Dasychira miselioides, n. sp. (Plate XXXII, fig. 28.) 
Head, legs, antennae, palpi pale brown; thorax and abdomen 
the same, with a few paler hairs, the crests of the abdomen darker. 
F.w. dark brown shaded with green, purple, and pale buff; the green 
colour is found at the base, along the costa and inner margin, and 
between the median lines; also in the subterminal line. There is 
a small white lunule near angle of wing from which the subterminal 
angulated line stretches to the costa; fringes dark spotted with 
paler. H.w. uniformly ochreous, a darker subterminal line; fringes 
same colour as wing. Underside of both wings with traces of central 
lunule and a faint stria beyond.
