Malayan Micro-Lepidoytera. 
round posterior part of costa and termen : cilia dark grey, becoming 
whitish towards tips. Hindwings orange; a blackish triangular 
apical patch covering \ of wing, lower angle slightly produced on 
termen; cilia yellow, base orange, round apical patch dark grey 
with whitish tips. 
Lombok, 1 Queensland (Mackay), 1 exactly 
similar and I think certainly identical. 
Etlimia ij ullata, n. sp. 
9. 30-34 mm. Differs from praeclara only as follows ; palpi 
longer; abdomen with dorsal spots absent on two basal segments, 
and very small or absent on third ; forewings rather shorter and 
broader, marginal dots ten in number and more quadrate, tips of 
cilia not whitish; hindwings with apical patch much larger, occu¬ 
pying ^ of wing, triangularly prominent near costa, extended on 
termen as a narrow streak to middle, on undersurface with a dark 
fuscous costal band throughout. 
Solomon Is., Guadalcanal' (Meek); four specimens. 
This species is at once distinguished from all the similar 
species by the dark fuscous costal band of undersurface 
of hindwings, this area being usually orange. 
Ethmia argopa, n. sp. 
9 . 32-34 mm. Differs from praeclara only as follows : subbasal 
band of second joint of palpi incomplete anteriorly : abdomen with 
dorsal spot absent on basal segment, very small or absent on second; 
forewings somewhat broader, black dots larger, lowest of three 
approximated dots towards termen below middle absent, two lower 
of praeapical dots coalesced, marginal dots nine in number, cilia 
paler grey ; hindwings ochreous-yellow, cilia pale yellow, round 
apical patch pale grey. 
Malay States, Padang Rengas; two specimens. It 
seems convenient to describe here also the following 
closely-allied Australian species. 
Ethmia thoraea, n. sp. 
. 27 mm. Differs from praeclara only as follows : head whitish- 
grey with black spot behind each antenna, base of collar with four 
subconfluent black dots ; palpi longer ; antennal ciliations |; thorax 
whitish-grey, black dots larger : forewings rather shorter, costa more 
arched, termen more oblique, whitish-grey, black dots larger, post¬ 
median subcostal placed at § instead of |, lowest of three approxi-
