Ilhuhrhiiis : witli Maclcish modiau ami postnicdian waved lines ; subma,rginal 

 sliado formod of distinct Inunles of blackish .scales, disconnected, preceded by a 

 distinct curved fulvous band. 



Underside of the forewiugs sjieckled witb darker, of the hindwings paler ; 

 both wings with three waved darker diffnse lines. Head and thorax like wings ; 

 abdouicn rather paler. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One ? from British New Guinea. 



The scales of this species are pale at base with dark tips, and are regularly 

 arranged so as to form alternate pale and dark, slightly shining ripples. There 

 is a cJ unnamed in the British Museum collection from Queensland. 



Pterocyclophora huntei sp. nov. 

 Forenings : pale wood-brown, sparsely black-speckled, and with some dull 

 green shades in places ; base of wing at inner margin with some brown and black 

 scales, and a small snow-white tooth at their edge ; a minute whitish dot in 

 cell, and a diffuse pale spot on discocellular ; median and postmedian brownisji 

 diffnse lines distinct only in upper half of wing ; the former from middle of costa 

 obli(|uely curved outwards and subcrenulate to the median vein, then strongly 

 incurved dentate-luuulate to beyond middle of inner margin ; the latter from two- 

 thirds of costa parallel to the median, the lunnles more strongly marked between 

 the veins and followed by a pale greenish shade which alone is continued to inner 

 margin, a straight double brown line from anal angle into apex, the outer area 

 thickened with blackish scales ; a fine, paler, internally black-edged liuK close 

 before margin, marked between the veins with double white spots also internally 

 black-edged ; marginal space beyond the double line darker brown than rest of 

 ■nnng, the fringe also darker and with a blackish sjiot beyond veins ; costa finely 

 whitish in basal half, brown with two white dashes towards apex. 



Uindwinys : deep yellow ; the outer fourth only wood-brown, with the double 

 brown line emphasised, and lost in upper half of wing in a large black blotch : 

 the apex itself white ; traces of two or three inner brown lines on inner margin 

 only ; marginal line as in forewings ; teeth of the hindmargin, especially that at 

 vein 4. much produced and scale-fringed. 



Underside pale stone-colour, speckled with grey and black ; inner half of 

 forewing for two-thirds from liase yellow ; a jiale^discocellular blotch resting on 

 a broad outwardly oblique black bar running from upper margin of cell to sub- 

 median fold ; lower half of the inner arm of the double line blackish, preceded 

 by a diffuse black cloudy blotch, which here appears to run continuous with the 

 ujijjcr half of a postmedian line, not corresponding with that of the upperside ; 

 these black marks are represented above by dull green shades : fringe wood- 

 brown, preceded by black submarginal dots between the veins corresponding to 

 the white dots of the upper snrface ; hindwings with distinct crennlate curved 

 dark meilian and dotted, less curved, postmedian line, a zigzag obscure sub- 

 marginal shade, ])artially double ; a black dot at end of cell, followed by a 

 similar one. Head, thorax, and tuft on basal segment of abdomen brown and 

 black : abdomen coucolorous with forewings ; abdomen beneath, pectus, and legs 

 wiiitish : lateral streaks of abdomen, and tarsi brown.
