Expanse of wings : 33 mm. 



1 S. 



In the absence of the S I leave tliis species in C/'n/soletie, witli wliich it agrees 

 iu neuration ; bnt the palpi arc longer ttian in that gcnns, the scaling luncli 

 smoother, and the shape of the wings different. Snperficially it might easily be 

 taken for an Ennomid. 



Eremocentra gen. nov. 

 1 tiud on examination of two gooJ SS of the species I called Bra(:hi/i;ola 

 /iavareata from Penang (Nov. Zool. iv. p. 215) that its reference to Brachjcola 

 is eri-oneons, the strnctnre of the hindlegs being quite different from that and all 

 others of the allied genera. The femora are not shortened, bnt slightly larger than 

 the tibiae, and the first segment of the tarsus is as long as the tibia itself ; the tibia 

 has no spurs properly so called, bnt from the end a long slightly curved projection, 

 rough-scaled beneath. In the better preserved specimen, from Sudest Island, the 

 hindfemora and -tibiae are clothed with rosy hairs ; the second, lately received from 

 A. S. Meek, comes from the Ui)per Aroa River, British New Gninea, so that the 

 species appears widely distributed. I propose the above generic name for its 

 reception, 



50. Mesotrophe? rufiplaga spec. nov. 



Foreicing : dull straw-colour, with very slight dark dusting ; a curved line 

 near base, marked liy dark dots on the veins ; au outer line at three-fourths, 

 similarly marked; a thin dentate-lunulate grey median shade at two-thirds; cell-spot 

 round, brown ; fringe straw-colour, with black dots at base between the veins ; 

 beyond the outer line a large pale brick-red blotch on inner margin touching vein 3, 

 and a smaller one beyond the cell, both traversed by the pale submarginal line. 



Jlindicing : the same ; but the cell-spot with a white centre. 



Underside speckled with dark ; cell-spots iu both wings, and in forewing 

 traces of the median shade, outer line, and blotch beyond cell. 



Face and palpi pale below, red-brown above ; thorax and abdomen like wings ; 

 vertex paler. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



1 ?. 



Probably a Mesotrophe ; the S must be waited for. 



51. Perixera? glomerata spec. nov. and ab. coudensata nov. 



Forewing : putty-coloured, very thickly irrorated with greyish purple atoms, 

 the narrow space immediately beyond outer line alone without speckles ; inner line 

 close to base and outer line at five-sixths marked by dark vein-dots ; the inner 

 also marked by a very faint grey cloud, forming a rounded projection above and 

 below median vein ; the outer with the dots connected by a slight lunnlate grey 

 shade ; a faint sinuous grey median band ; cell-spot linear, blackish ; marginal dots 

 black ; fringe jmle ochreous. 



llindwing : with cell-spot thicker, the line joining dots of outer line and the 

 dots themselves more conspicuous ; slight dots at the vein-ends as well as between 

 them. 



Underside pale ochreous ; forewing thickly washed and speckled with dull rosy, 

 hindwing along costa only ; outer and submarginal lines marked towards costa.
