Distiuguisbed from all tbe otber species by tbe antennae of tbe ? being shortly 

 bipectiuate, tbe pectinations witb an apical bristle. 



133. Gonophaga subpulchra Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. p. 4ii0. 



Tbe type, described from Maokay, Queensland, was a ? , and till lately I bad 

 only seen one other example of tbe species, a c? from Sudest Island. Now, in tbe 

 collection from tbe Upper Aroa River, Britisb New Guinea, made by A. S. Meek, 

 tbere come 6 ¥ ¥ and 1 S. Tbe S differs from the ¥ on tbe underside in having 

 the whole outer area fawn-colour instead of dark brown, and in wanting the large 

 white apical patch. Of the ¥ ? three are typical, tbe other three represent two 

 distinct forms of aberration. 



ab. innotata nov. 



This form is withont markings except the submarginal line of hindwing ; the 

 other lines being replaced by obscure dots on veins. 



1 ¥. 



ab. nigromaculata nov. 



This form develops a large velvety black blotch on inner margin of forewing 

 at the base of the outer line. 



2 ¥ ¥ , one of which combines tbe characteristics of tbe two aberrations. 



In the cj original description the upper half of hindmargiu of forewing is said 

 to be subcrenulate : it should be noted that the creuulation is very slight and 

 confined to tbe end of vein 6. The antennae of the t? are shortly and evenly 

 pectinated, with simple apex. 



134. Heterodisca ignea spec. nov. 



Forewing : fiery coppery, with blackish striae ; tbe lines exactly as in 

 H. scardamiata, the first from one-fourth of costa to before middle of inner margin, 

 tbe outer from five-sixths of costa to beyond middle of inner margin ; but, instead 

 of the lustrous line, marked by black and white dashes on tbe veins, the white ends 

 pointing inwards in the first and outwards in the second line ; cell-spot dark with a 

 few pale scales inside ; no continuous marginal line, but slight marks of black 

 white-dusted scales between tbe veins ; fringe concoloroas, witb conspicuous white 

 chequering beyond veins. 



Uhuhv/ng : similar ; tbe line central, marked witb dashes only. 



Underside smoky ochreous, washed witb brown and freckled witb grey ; tbe 

 lines showing through ; the curved lines of dark spots, which are obscure above, 

 here marked in black ; a streak of whitish scales to ajjex above vein T and the base 

 of fringes white-scaled ; the white chequering more distinct. 



Head, thorax, base of abdomen, pectus, and forefemora fiery red ; rest of 

 abdomen violet with paler segmental rings ; hindlegs drab ; fore- and midtibiae 

 and tarsi dark fuscous.
