above without any black spots, and all the wings below of a 
deeper rose-colour almost to the borders. HExpanse of wings

New Britain and Duke-of-York Island. 
We have a still larger female (58 millim. in expanse) in 
the Museum collection, presented by Messrs. Salvin and God- 
man: it was received from New Ireland; and hitherto I have 
regarded it as probably the female of the more narrow-winged, 
paler, and somewhat differently spotted Aloa bifrons of 
Walker. The receipt of the true male, however, puts this 
quite out of the question; indeed I am of opinion that A. 
bifrons, with its elongated narrow wings, is congeneric with 
Cramer’s Phalena amasis, and I would suggest its being 
placed with it under Hiibner’s generic name Rhodogastria ; 
the first two species placed under the latter group by Hubner 
fall into other genera. 
42. Damalis tigrina, sp. n. 
6. Bright ochreous; primaries deeper-coloured at the 
base; with the exception of a large patch at the end of the 
cell, the apical half of the costal border, and the base, all the 
interspaces enclose longitudinal broad blackish stripes : abdo- 
men with dorsal and lateral series of black spots. Under 
surface ochreous, the wings with a decreasing border of inter- 
nervular black stripes ; primaries with black costal margin ; 
collar, prothorax, and front of pectus orange-ochreous. Ex- 
panse of wings 56 millim.
