1892.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM SANDAKAN. 131 



costal margin narrowly ochraceous, speckled with blackish : second- 

 aries with only a discocellular spot to represent the inner stripe of 

 the primaries, but with a well-defined subangulated outer stripe from 

 outer fourth of costa to inner margin, close to anal angle ; marginal 

 stripe blacker than on the primaries : head and collar rufous-brownish : 

 wings below without irrorations, but crossed by a straight discal 

 series of blackish spots on the veins ; primaries tinted with pink, 

 with a transverse blackish dash on the discocellulars ; pectus whitish. 

 Expanse of wings 38 millim. 



This very distinct species is unfortunately only represented by one 

 imperfect specimen ; it is, however, so unlike anything else that I 

 have seen or of which I can find a description, that I have no 

 hesitation in naming it. 



ELPHOS HYMENARIA, var. 



Elphos hymenaria, Guenee, Phal. i. p. 285. n. 446, pi. 16. fig. 4 

 (1857). 



The single female obtained by Mr. Pryer has lost the white patch 

 upon the secondaries. 



TERPNIDIA NELEARIA. 



Hypochroma nelearia, Guenee, Phal. i. p. 2/9. n. 444 (1857). 



HYPOCHROMA NETUNARIA ? 



Hypochroma netunaria, Guenee, Phal. i. p. 279. n. 445 (1857). 

 The two examples, both females, seem to agree fairly well with 

 the description of this species. 



HYPOCHROMA VITTICOSTA. 



Hypochroma vitticosla, Walker, Lep. Het. xxi. p. 438. n. 25 

 (1860). 



A male example in good condition. 



I have to thank Col. Swinhoe for the identification of this species ; 

 he tells me that the type from Sarawak is somewhat faded. 



ASCOTIS SELENARIA. 



Geometra selenaria, Schiffermiiller, Wien. Verz. p. 101 ; Hiibner, 

 Georn. pi. 31. fig. 163. 



A damaged female only was obtained.
