Argiva ceramica, nov. 



$ . Black-brown, the inverted comma-shaped discoidal 

 mark very obscure, hardly traceable ; the subapical streak 

 more curved than in the other forms, slightly thickened on 

 the costa, but otherwise of fairly even width, ending in a 

 point quite close to the outer margin; colour ochreous white; 

 no other markings. Underside paler, the subapical streak 

 similar ; the hinder marginal space of the fore wing slightly 

 suffused with grey. 



$ . Fore wing with the basal two-thirds ochreous brown, 

 the ring of the discoidal mark the only distinct part of this 

 mark, its tail well separated from its beginning and connected 

 with a highly curved black line to the hinder margin ; the 

 outer third of the wing dark brown ; the subapical streak 

 broad, narrowing hindwards, its end blunt and not reaching 

 the outer margin ; a large white spot in the middle of the 

 disk : hind wing with the basal half dark brown, the outer 

 half ochreous brown, divided by a series of indistinct whitish 

 marks. Underside paler; both wings uniformly coloured, 

 except that the hinder margin of the fore wing is slightly 

 greyish ; the subapical streak and discal spot as above ; a 

 minute whitish spot in the upper disk of the hind wing. 



Expanse of wings, $ 3, ? 3^ inches (text-fig. 19). 



Hab. Ceram Island. 



Genus Cariona, nov. 



Differs from the genus Patula in having the hind wing 

 normal, the neuration normal. In Patula the costal half is 

 aborted, and forms a fold turned over on the upper surface 

 containing a large glandular patch, making the veins aborted.
