Fa mil J Deilemereidae. 



Deilemera luzonica, nov. 



? . Belongs to the evergista group, nearest to cerea^ Boisrl., 

 and gerra, Swinhoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1903, p. G3, pl.iv. fig.l); 

 fore wing of the same blackish-brovvii colour ; a longitudinal 

 white streak near the base, shorter than in gerra ^ with a small 

 white s))ot below it near the base; a very large white patch 

 with waved outer side, commencing at the upper end of the 

 cell in a narrow rounded form, broadening hindwards to the 

 internal vein ; its inner side is slightly excavated at the lower 

 margin of the cell, and then runs inwards below the outer end 

 of the basal streak, occupying a large portion of the central 

 space of the wing ; two large while, rounded, submarginal 

 spots as in gerra, but much larger : hind wing with a narrow 

 costal blackish-brown band and an even outer marginal band, 

 as in gerra^ with a submarginal white spot in it, a little 

 below the apex. Head and body yellow ; collar with two 

 black spots ; thorax covered with short green scales ; abdo- 

 men with broad black segmental bands. 



Expanse of wings l^^^j- inch. 



llab. Luzon, Philippines. 



Deilemera purata, nov. 



? . Milk-white ; palpi white, the last joint black; top of 

 liead with a black spot, two on the collar; thorax with a 

 black medial line, and another thinner line on each side of it; 

 abdomen with a dorsal row of pale blackish spots; legs white, 

 without markings : fore wings with the veins grey, a darker 

 grey blotch or patch at the lower end of the ceil : hind wing 

 with dark grey streaks at the vein-ends, decreasing in size 

 liindwards. Underside with all the vein-ends grey and a 

 large space on the fore wing blackish from the base to the 

 end of the cell, extending upwards to the costa, the veins 

 through this black space white. 



Expanse of wings lyo inch. 



Uab. Luzon, Philippines. 



Figured by tSemper as a female aberration * of Deilemera 

 sonticum, Swinhoe, also from the Philippines ; but I have in 

 my museum both sexes of sonticum from JMindanao and 

 Luzon. The sexes of that species are alike and are widely 

 diti'erent from this form, though the palpi, head, and body 

 are similarly marked.
