with thecosta black-spotted, basal area specked with blackish, 

 the cell terminating in a large black spot ; a dark grey spot 

 on each of the median branches ; external third black-brown, 

 with a costal spot, an apical spot, a spot on outer margin, and 

 a dot at external angle yellow : secondaries with a small lunule 

 at the end of the cell and a large apical spot black, several 

 scattered greyish dots and lines. Expanse of wings 1 1 lines. 

 The general appearance of this species is very similar to 

 that of Sandava scitisignata (Cidaria scitisignata= Sandava 

 melaleucata = Istarba varialis of Walker) from Australia. 



Hypenidse. 



56. Agamana insignis 1 sp. n. 



$ . Primaries above dull pink, changing to flesh-colour 

 internally, the costal margin reddish ferruginous ; a sinuous 

 white-edged blackish-olive band, widest towards the base of 

 inner margin, where it commences, compressed in the middle, 

 then angulated externally, and tapering to the apex ; a black 

 dot at the end of the cell : secondaries pale fuliginous brown, 

 with darker outer border ; costal area whity brown ; fringe 

 rosy greyish : thorax reddish olivaceous, barred with pink ; 

 abdomen pale fuliginous brown ; palpi red internally. Under 

 surface pale brown ; primaries with the central area greyish, 

 the inner margin whitish ; secondaries with whitish basal 

 area : body below whity brown, legs reddish. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



The palpi of this species differ from those of the typical 

 species in being porrect instead of depressed : the specimen of 

 that species, however, is a female ; and in the sexes of the 

 Deltoids there is frequently a considerable difference in the 

 palpi. The neuration appears to be identical. 



Cledeobiidse. 

 57. Actenia? signata 1 sp. n. 



Most like A. brunnealis : primaries flesh-tinted, black- 

 speckled, with diffused olive-brown borders ; a broad, exter- 

 nally diffused, dark brown oblique stripe across the basal 

 fourth, and an internally diffused similar but angulated stripe 

 across the disk ; a large, whitish-bordered, black spot at the 

 end of the cell : secondaries stramineous : head and thorax 

 flesh-tinted ; abdomen stramineous. Under surface strami- 

 neous : wings crossed by a greyish discai stripe and with 

 sordid external border, blackish discocellular spots ; prima- 

 ries with the base of the cell greyish. Expanse of wings 

 1 inch.
