$ Of a uniform bright ochreous colour. Fore-wings with a cluster of 

 black speckles forming a ringed spot at the end of the cell, two parallel 

 ochreous grey transverse nearly straight lines or thin bands, one just 

 before the middle running through the spot, the other beyond the 

 middle, both inclining outwardly from the hinder margin ; these bands 

 are slightly speckled with black, a sub-marginal band of black speckles 

 and some black speckles on the hinder margin and on the long hairs 

 of the fringe on this margin ; marginal line on both wings slightly 

 darker than the wing colour. Hind- wings and underside unmarked. 



Expanse of wings I/Q inches. 

 a. Philippines (type). b. Philippines. 



Example b is slightly different, being paler, the medial lines on 

 fore-wing hardly visible, and a dark ochreous shade on the interior 

 portion of the wing, but is evidently of the same species, not differing 

 more than is usual in this Genus. 



879. Artaxa servilis. 



Euproctis servilis. Walker: xxxii. 350 (1865). 

 Darala prima. Walker : xxxv. 1917 (1866). 



a. Celebes (type) (Wallace). b. Makessar, Celebes (type 



prima) (Wallace). 



880. Artaxa inturbida. 



Leucoma inttirbida. Walker: xxxii. 345 (1865). 

 Artaxa megaxantha. Walker: xxxv. 1913 (1866). 



a. Celebes (type ?) (Wallace). b. Batchian (type megaxantha 9) 



(Wallace). 



Walker described both these types as males on account of their 

 pectinated antennas, but they are both fine specimens, and their 

 divided frenulum and genital organs distinctly prove their sex.
