New Lepidopfera from Dutch New Guinea. 371 



in 2 continued as a streak to submedian, two white anal streaks. 

 Tail with a black spot edged with white distally. A black marginal 

 spot bearing a white dot, in 5. 



$ resembles leucomelas $. Upperside of forewing with a brown 

 dot on the discocellular. Hindwing for the greater part white to 

 vein 3 near margin, and to 2 halfway from cell. The remainder, 

 including cell, smoky-brown. 



Underside much as in leucomelas. Hindwing with larger white 

 costal patch and from which the spot in 5 is absent; marginal 

 border little paler than the ground-colour. 



Head, thorax and abdomen vandyke-brown above, in the ^ pale 

 yellow below, white in the $. Palpi white, deeper yellow laterally. 

 Legs black on outside, pale yellow inside. Antennae black, slightly 

 tipped brown. 



Length of forewing : (J 24*5 mm., $ 23*5 mm. 



A series of both sexes. 



21. Dicallaneura exiguus, sp. nov. 

 (Plate LX, fig. 3, S, fig. 4, ?.) 



A smaller form than fulvofasciata, but closely allied to 

 it. The $ shows a trace of a brown stripe in the white 

 band below and in this it differs from leucomelas $ $; 



cj. Upperside of forewing with a shorter band than in ftdvo- 

 fasciata and not reaching costa ; part beyond cell narrower, but at 

 vein 2 is 8 mm. wide. Proximal edge of band merged into the 

 basal brown. Hindwing a little paler than in fulvofasciata, with a 

 brownish costal suffusion. 



Underside with markings lighter and better defined than in the 

 allied form ; the brown line within the band is straight and termi- 

 nates on vein 2. The submarginal line is creamy-white and the 

 costal streak next it is continued as a zigzag line from vein 5 to 4, 

 where it joins the submarginal and encloses a space mostly filled 

 with creamy-white. Hindwing markings much as in the allied 

 form. There is a small greyish-white triangular costal patch at 

 beginning of discal band, and the grey hair does not fill the basal 

 half of cellules 1, 2, 3. 



$. Upperside of forewing similar to fulvofasciata $. Hindwing 

 with white area reduced and terminating on vein 4; veins 2 and 3 

 streaked with greyish-white, and two bands of same colour before 

 the margin across interspace 3. 



Underside similar to (J. A faint brown streak in the white band. 

 On the hindwing the costal patch is enlarged and is white.
