Casbia strigaria, sp. n. 



<$ ? . Both wings ash-grey, with very numerous and very 

 fine, short, darker lines, and with broad red stripes. Pri- 

 maries with a subbasal and a median red line, the latter 

 irregular and rather the broader; a dark point at the end of 

 the cell ; a broadish, nearly erect, postmedian red stripe, 

 followed almost directly by a large clouded reddish patch, 

 tapering down narrowly at the torn us. Secondaries with a 

 median, a postmedian, and a subterminal reddish stripe, each 

 broader than its predecessor, the last being very broad and 

 indefinite, and showing but little of the grey ground-colour 

 on either side of it. 



Expanse, $ 25, ? 26 mm. 



Hab. Dinawa, 4000 feet; September. Ekeikei, 1500 feet ;

Hypochrosis pratti, sp. n. 



<£ . Head ash-grey, thorax and abdomen brown-grey, anal 

 extremity yellow. Both wings brownish grey, with a median, 

 broad, irregular, olive-green band, not reaching the costa and 

 edged all round with a black line ; in the primaries there is, 

 in addition, a black costal spot above the green band and a 

 subterminal, waved, dark grey stripe. In the secondaries 

 there is only the subterminal stripe, which is broadly inter- 

 rupted about veins 4 to 6.
