Underside of forewing, except along inner margin, deep rosy, of hindwing 

 whitish ; outer and marginal lines of spots distinct, the latter especially so in 

 forewing, where they are deep red and triangular. 



Face and palpi pale below, deep red above; vertex, thorax, and abdomen like 

 wings, the last stained with reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 2<l mm.

Apex of forewing slightly prominent. 



iiO. Problepsis craspediata "Warr. and ab. longimacula nov. 

 The description in Nov. Zool. iv. p. 222 was made from a single <S from 

 Simbang. The comjiarison of a good series (9 cj(?, 6 ? ?) collected by A. S. Meek 

 on the Upper Aroa River, British New Guinea, shows that the aggregation of 

 black scales, which follows the discocellnlar of the forewing, normally takes the 

 shape of a black spot followed by a black half-circle. In two of the c? <S , however, 

 these scales form a large oblong black blotch stretching towards, and in one of 

 them touching the onter line, and in this latter case the hindwing also has 

 a black blotch beyond the slender discal mark. They may be distinguished as 

 ab. lo/igi macula. 



57. Problepsis transposita spec. nov. 



Foreicing : greyish cream-colour ; the costal edge brownish ; first line very 

 faint, erect from one-third of inner margin, not reaching costa ; from inner margin 

 shortly before anal angle a brown band rises, at first parallel to hindmargin, tlaen 

 evenly curved inwards to subcostal vein at two-thirds, where it turns and descends 

 parallel to its outer course, bending inwards at vein 2, to inner margin at three- 

 fifths ; the whole surface of the wing from base below subcostal vein as far as this 

 inner line is spangled with metallic scales, which are thicker and almost hide the 

 brown ou the inner line and form a lustrous edge on the inner side of the outer line ; 

 between veins 2 and 4 the ground-colour between the brown shades is pale buff, 

 containing a velvety black roundish centre crossed by vein 3, which is also buff; 

 this buff space, like the black disc, is flattened above and surrounded by a sligiit 

 ring of brownish scales ; a submarginal grey line retracted to costa before apex ; 

 extreme hindmargin grey-tinged : fringe concolorous. 



IlimlwirKj : with a central and submarginal curved band, the latter witli a 

 lustrous sinuous line along its inner edge, the bands incompletely meeting below 

 vein 7 ; the rest as in forewing. 



Underside dull cream-coloured, with the dark markings showing through. 



Palpi ochreous, externally dark fuscous ; face brown above, dusted with 

 pale below ; vertex and antennae brown ; thorax, shoulders, and patagia shining 

 white ; abdomen grey -tinged ; underside and legs cream-coloured ; forelegs fuscous 

 in front. 



Expanse of wings : <S, 35 mm. ; ? , 40 mm. 



1 cJ, 1 ?. 



Easily recognised by the difference in the position of the ocelloid spot. 



Prostenodes gen. nov. 

 A development of Perirera. 

 Forewing : in c? narrowed, only slightly widening outwards ; in ? of normal
