3. Iridobapta huntei sp. nov. 



Foreicings: iridescent blnisli white, with> few scattered dark scales; costa 

 brown near base, becoming ochreous in apical half ; inner line at one-fonrth, ochreous, 

 curved, very obscure ; outer line at two-thirds, parallel to hindmargin, lunulate 

 outwards and brownish on the veins; cells])ot black, formed of raised scales, ringed 

 with yellowish ; a fnscons brown marginal shade from below apex, thinning off to a 

 point at anal angle, tlie fringe also fuscous brown. 



Ilimhrimi.-i : without first line and marginal shade; the fringe yellowish. 



Underside dnll jjinkish tinged ; the marginal Ijrown shade on forewings 

 diffuse. Face and palpi dark brown ; thorax and abdomen white.

4. Sarcinodes subfalvida ab. derufata nov. 



Of three examples of a Sarcinodes from British New Guinea, all ? S , two 

 agree well with typical sxh/xli-ida Warr., described from Kiriwini, Troliriand 

 Islands ; the third, of the same si/e, shape, and mai-kings as the other two, differs 

 in the coloration both above and below. The rufous tints of the upperside of 

 the type, as well as its paler tints below, are quite absent, the ground-colour 

 above being liver-brown, dusted with whitish scales before the outer oblique 

 line, and forming an oblicjue hoary fascia between it and the central shade ; 

 marginal space beyond the line broader than in the tj'jie and deep liver-coloured, 

 the teeth of the submarginal line indicated by whitish scales ; the oblique line 

 itself double with a white central thread forming spots at the veins ; the white 

 spots and dashes on costa more prominent. In the hindwings the white thread 

 of the line, which is decidedly autemedian, is continuous, not interrupted between 

 the veins, and touching its inner arm are three white hyaline blotches, one round 

 and large in the cell, a smaller one below vein 2, and a dot between veins 

 2 and 3. 



Underside of both wings wholly dull purplish brown, with darker suffusion 

 in jilaces ; the lines obscurely indicated and marked by white vein-dashes ; the 

 three white blotches of the hindwings surrounded with red and yellow scales ; 

 the frifiges in both wings rich chocolate. Front of collar snow-white. 



NOCTUIDAE.

 grey, obscure ; antemedian, median, and pfjstmcdian, all parallel and at even 

 distances apart, outwardly oblique from costa, bent on subcostal vein, then waved 

 an<l more or less parallel to hindmargin ; the inrjer is preceded and the outer 

 followed liy a siniiliir fainter line ; submarginal line more distinct, formed of 

 blackish lunnlui' patches between the veins ; fringe concolorons, with the base 

 ochreous beyond a series of thin black dashes between the veins.
