228 Mr. A. G. Butler on 
parallel to the outer margin across the disk; a submarginal 
series of pale. grey dashes: antenne ferruginous; collar 
lilacine grey, a little more chocolate-tinted than the markings 
on the wings, and with whitish posterior margin. Wings 
below blotched and banded with chocolate-colour, the most 
prominent markings being two central bands, a large apical 
blotch on the primaries, a subapical blotch and a discal series 
of spots on the secondaries, a submarginal series of dashes, 
and the small ocelli; the basicostal areas are washed with 
clouded flesh-colour: venter with a series of brown dots on 
each side. Expanse of wings 147 millim. 
New Britain. 
Allied to S. disjuncta (Antherwa disjuncta, Walk.) ; the 
genus is really much closer to Copaxa than to Antherea. A. 
lepoides from Borneo is also a Syntherata. 
48. Humeta maxima, sp. 0. 
dg. Primaries pale red-brown, with the subcostal area, in- 
cluding the discoidal cell and a broad longitudinal interno- 
median band, beginning at the base and tapering to a point 
upon the first median branch before reaching the outer margin, 
semihyaline whitish grey, with black margins; veins black : 
secondaries smoky brown, with reddish outer margin and 
hyaline greyish costal area: body pale sericeous cupreous 
brown, almost golden ; abdomen with dorsal tufts of smoky- 
brown, tipped with white towards the base, the anal half 
clothed with woolly fuligmous hair; genitalia shining 
mahogany-brown; antenne black. Wings below smoky 
greyish brown, with pale costal borders and a marginal series 
of pale reddish spots: primaries with pale sericeous brown

blackish hair. Expanse of wings 53 millim. 
Duke-of- York Island. 
Nearest to L. Layardit of Moore, and the largest species of 
the Psychidee that I have seen.

@. Allied to Z. strix; pinky white, clouded with pale 
purplish brown, reticulated and spotted with black ; the pri- 
maries with the base, a broad costal patch at about the basal 
third, a series of costal spots beyond the latter, a large patch 
immediately beyond the cell, and a discal series of large spots 
broken into three parts, each division placed further from the 
outer margin than the preceding one, so as to form an inter- 
rupted zigzag series, black: secondaries with the costal area
