inner margiu, in the first on the inner edge, in the second on the onter ; submarginal 

 line preceded by spots between the veins, the two above and below vein 6 blotched 

 together, that below vein 4 preceded by a grey clond ; the speckling beyond the 

 submarginal suiuetimes also massed into slight spots on the veins, of which that 

 on vein U is always larger and greyer; a black spot at base on median vein, a black 

 discal spot, and black marginal spots ; fringe like wings. 



Ilitiflwinq : similar ; the inner line grey without spots : no grey blotch below 

 vein 4. 



Underside without speckling, and with the markings grey. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen coucolorous ; the shoulders, the patagia, and each 

 dorsal segment with a pair of black spots ; palpi e.xteriially blackish ; the foretibia 

 and first tarsal segment dark. 



Expanse of wings : S , ~<3 mm. ; ? , 3U mm. 



1 <J,2 ? ?. 



These are identical with the straw-coloured fourth form of carians alluded 

 to below. 



82. Eugnesia lineata Waxy. 



Like the last species E. decolorata, but with darker speckling ; the costa 

 of forewiugs black ; the lines all black and concise ; the shades before and beyond 

 submarginal line darker, subdentate, and more or less entire ; the blotch on vein 

 6 black ; a straight black streak from outer line to hindmargin between veins 

 3 and 4, and a less marked one along vein 6 ; all the rest as in decolorata, but with 

 the black markings intensified. 



Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 



2 ? ?. 



This is the form described by me as Si/ntaracta varinns ab. lineata. 



Swinhoe was probably right (cf. 7>. E. S. 1902. p. 606) in considering it a 

 distinct species, although his sinking the other two forms to camptogrammaria 

 proves to have been premature. 



83. Eugnesia varians Warr. 



In Nov. ZooL. i. p. 409 (1894), I described .5 ¥ ¥ from Gunoiig Ijan, four 

 of which varied somewhat from one another, as Synturacta varians, ditferentiating 

 the most marked form as ab. lineata. I have not met with another example 

 of any of tiiese forms till now, when the three most variant have turned up 

 among the insects caught by A. S. Meek on the Upper Aroa Kiver, British New 

 Guinea ; two of these are represented by c?d" as well as ? ? ; and these S <S having 

 jierfectly simple antennae, it follows that the species must be transferred to the 

 genus Euynesia. With them came also three examples, all ? ?, of Eugnesia 

 corresijondens Warr. described from Luzon, and, except for a single e-xamjile from 

 Nias Island, only received hitherto from that locality. 



Of the form first described, to which must be restricted the original name 

 varians, there are three i S and thirteen ? ?, the latter very close indeed to 

 Ibyntaracta camptogrammaria Gueu., the S S distinguishable at once by the 

 antennae, the much darker costa, and the more bulging hindwings ; they are also 

 more brightly coloured than the ? ? . 



They are all dated February and March, 1903, and measure 32 to 34 mm. in 

 expanse on the average, though small ? ? occur of 28 mm.
