S/auropus chloriolus, sp. n. 

 (Fl. I. fig. 15.) 



Near dubiosus* , B.-Bkr., and miviaf, B.-Bkr., but distin- 

 guislied I'rom the former by the black markings and green 

 scaling o£ the fore wing, and from the latter especially by 

 the darker fore wing and increased green irroration. This 

 and other New Guinea Stauropus constitute a section of the 

 genus having the antennpe of ? pectinated, the comb being 

 nearly as long as in the (^ . The hind wing with the disco- 

 cellular oblique and not sharply angled. 



? . Upper side. — Fore wing with dark reddish -brown 

 ground-colour, irrorated with bright green scaling, especially 

 at base and at distal margin. A thick black basal line and 

 an antemedian line nearly parallel to it; a faint and oblique 

 discal line, not distinct above vein 3, and nearly touching 

 ante-mediun line at inner margin ; a green lunulate disco- 

 cellular spot; a heavy, black, irregular post-discal line, 

 angled at veins 5 and 4 ; a well-defined black subterminal 

 line, its lower part below vein 2 formed by two separate 

 lines, the lower more proximal than the upper, crossing 

 cellules 2 and 1 c. Hind icing rufous-brown ; costal edge 

 dark brown to the middle, followed by a streak and a 

 quadrate apical patch, as in other members of the genus, of 

 dark brown. 



Underside rufous-brown, paler in the basal area. 



Antennae with comb black, shaft rufous-brown ; palpi 

 rufous- brown, mixed with green on inside ; head and thorax 

 grey-white, mixed with brown ; abdomen, pectus, and legs 

 ruibus-brown. 



Length of fore wing 25 ram.

Slauropus leucocraspedus, sp. n. 

 (H. II. fig. 2.) 



Allied to mediobrunnea, B.-Bkr.i, but easily distinguished 

 by the broad white distal margin of the fore Aving. 



$ . Upperside. — Fore iving with proximal two-thirds 

 deep reddish brown with black markings. A baso-costal 

 grey-white patch tinged with brown ; a heavy, black, oblique
