73. Botys amplipennis, sp. n. 
Greyish brown, with bronze reflections, and in certain lights 
with a slight tint of lilac: primaries with an indistinct oblique 
arched dusky line across the basal fourth, a slender discocellu- 
lar dusky litura, a widely arched discal line, retracted and 
zigzag below the first median branch, and an arched greyish 
submarginal streak divided by paler nervures: secondaries 
with a small black spot at the end of the cell, immediately 
followed by a white spot; an irregularly angulated and crenu- 
lated dusky discal line; a marginal series of blackish spots ; 
fringes of all the wings smoky brown, with whity brown basal 
line and spots: body paler than the wings and somewhat 
pearly. Wings below whitish, with small black discocellular 
spots; a discal series of blackish dots on the veins, immedi- 
ately followed by an indistinct dusky crenulated line: pectus 
snow-white; anterior femora brownish above; anterior tibice 
with black distal half; venter whitish. Expanse of wings 
39 millim.

74. Botys perfenestrata, sp. n. 
Dull rose-colour; the wings spotted with gamboge-yellow 
spots, many of which have hyaline whitish centres, and ar- 
ranged much as in Pygospira tyres, though less numerous ; 
they consist in all the wings of two large discoidal spots, a 
very irregular discal series duplicated in the middle, and a 
marginal series ; body spotted with gamboge-yellow. Wings 
below greyish, with pink reflections; all the spots white, with 
a slight bluish reflection: body sericeous bone-white, the legs 
streaked with dull pink or flesh-colour. LExpanse of wings 
32 millim. 
New Britain. 
A variety occurs in which all the wing-spots are much 
smaller than in the type. : 
Aigeriide. 
PHLOGOTHAUMA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Paranthrene, with which it agrees in the structure 
of its body and secondaries: the primaries, however, are 
slightly broader and quite different in neuration ; the sub- 
costal emits its first branch before the end of the cell, the 
second at the end, and its two others from a long footstalk ; 
the discocellulars are very long and strongly angulated, the 
radials being emitted on each side of the angle; the first and
