stalked from the eud of cell, 11 free, shortly before them : 9, lO stalked out of 7, 8 

 at oue-third from cell, 9 atiastomosiug at two-thirds with 7, 8 ; 7 slanting down- 

 wards to hiudmargin below apex, 8 parallel to 7 into apex : hiudwings, 7 from 

 long before end of cell, anastomosing at once and strongly with 8, the rest as in 

 forewings. 



Tj'pe : Speciroreta Injalodisca Hmpsu. {Greta). 



2. Teldenia strigosa spec. nov. 



Forewings : white, crossed by three brownish oclireous ill-defined streaks ; 

 first antemcdian, from one-third of costa to middle of inner margin, apparently 

 consisting of small spots between the veins ; second broader and more dift'nse, from 

 beyond middle of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, parallel to first ; third 

 snbmarginal nearly jjarallel to hindmargin, formed of ill-defined Innnles between 

 the veins ; fringe white. 



Hindwings : with the two outer lines only, these nearly meeting at anal angle. 



Underside white. Head, thorax, and abdomen white ; palpi brown. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



One <? from between Holnicote Bay and Owen Stanley Range, New Guinea. 



The single specimen is somewhat worn, so that the description here given 

 of the constitution of the transverse lines is not so precise as could be wished. 

 2\ obsoleta Warr., from Timor, has a snbmarginal and traces of a postmedian line, 

 but also distinct black marginal spots, which this species lacks ; T. inconspicua 

 Leech, from West China, must resemble it in some respects. 



Family TIIYRWIDAE. 



3. Brixia particolor spec. nov. 



Forewings : with basal half pearl-grey, with a jniikish ochreons tinge, palest 

 along costa ; this jjale area crossed in middle by a curved band slightly darker and 

 with darker edges ; marginal half chestnvit-brown, becoming pinkish ochreons along 

 hindmargin, and there marked by very fine but regular black dots and streaks, 

 which between veins 5 and 6 form a small black sjwt ; before the apex a white 

 triangular costal blotch with some brown scales on it ; apex narrowly white to 

 vein 7 ; costal edge finely dotted with black ; fringe pinkish ochreons. 



Hindwings : pinkish ochreons, crossed by transverse rows of black dots and 

 striae, and with a broad diflnse smoky fuscous band from middle of costa to 

 anal angle. 



Underside of forewings with basal area chestnut-brown, separated by abroad 

 grey fascia from the chestnut-brown apical area, which is very narrow on inner 

 margin ; costal half of the grey fascia, costal triangle, and apical streak whitish ; 

 hindwings yellowish ochreous, with the middle band and rows of spots brownish. 

 Head, palpi, and shoulders chestnut-red ; thorax and abdomen pearl-grey, with the 

 fifth and last segments brown above ; anal claspers very long, with oclireous hairs ; 

 underside of abdomen and the legs dull fulvous. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm.
