X.Q., Kuraiicla, in August; two specimens received from 

 Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



EUPROCTIS EPIDELA, H. Sp. 



(E'pidelos, conspicuous.) 



Male, 25 mm. Female, 35-45 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, 

 and abdomen ochreous. Antennae pale ochreous. Legs whit- 

 ish-ochreous, Forewings triangular, more elongate in female, 

 costa strongly arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely round- 

 ed ; bright ochreous, in female ochreous or pale ochreous ; a 

 pale transverse line near bas-e; a broader outwardly curved 

 transverse line at ^ ; and a similar sinuate line at ^ ; in 

 female these lines are obsolete; cilia concolorous. Hindwings 

 with termen rounded ; pale ochreous ; in female concolorous 

 with forewings ; cilia concolorous. 



This may possibly be the same as Euproctif< varians, 

 Wlk., an Indian species (Hmps., Moths Ind. 1, p. 475). 



Type in Coll., Turner.

Lymantria novaguineensis. 



Li/mantria vovfK/i'inecnsi.^, Bak.. Nov. Zool., 1904., p. 

 407, PI. vi., f. 35. 



Mr. Bethune-Baker does not mention whether this spe- 

 cies, of which he has a series, is variable. It comes very close 

 to L. turneri, Swin., and may be the same species.
