white band, thus linking this species to D. illectalis. It is 

 possible that D. conjuncta may be a distinct species. 



Three specimens, Shortland Island. 



The types of D. cegimiusalis and D. illectalis having been 

 both received from the same locality, it is possible that they 

 may be extreme modifications of one very variable species, 

 in which case D. conjuncta might be expected to occur in 

 Borneo as a third (intermediate) modification ; I therefore 

 hesitate to regard the latter as a species until more examples 

 are received to establish its right to be so regarded. 



8. Heterocnephes felixj sp. n. 



Ivory-white, very slightly pearly : primaries with two bars 

 at the base, an oblique quadrate spot at centre of cell, an 8- 

 shaped patch across the end of the cell, a straight line from 

 the quadrate spot to the inner margin, and a zigzag line from 

 the inner edge of the 8-shaped spot (the area enclosed between 

 these two lines being sordid) shining dark brown ; external 

 third of wing of the same colour, divided near its inner edge 

 by a dentate-sinuate white stripe, and further interrupted by 

 whitish longitudinal streaks on the veins, and a white spot 

 at external angle ; fringe white, spotted with black, with a 

 basal yellowish line and a black subbasal line : secondaries 

 crossed at base and across end of cell by two dark brown con- 

 verging lines, which meet at anal angle, the outer line thick- 

 ened into a large spot at end of cell; a third abbreviated 

 straight line from beyond middle of costa to median vein, 

 external border dark brown, interrupted on anal half by two 

 subconfluent, cuneiform, white patches ; fringe nearly as in 

 primaries : antennae and centre of tegulse dark shining 

 brown ; abdomen dusky, with two spots and a transverse bar 

 at base blackish brown; subterminal segments blackish, anal 

 valves black, with a pure white lateral stripe. Under surface 

 white ; wings with markings as above, but of a bronze colour. 

 Expanse of wings 18 millim.

Allied to H. strangulalis of Snellen, and at first sight very 

 like the Zehronia persipicualis=Botys flexissimalis of Walker. 



Margarodidae. 



9. Glyjphodes deliciosa^ sp. n. 



Primaries above black-brown, changing in certain lights to 

 deep shining cupreous ; an oblique, pearly white, acuminate, 

 triangular patch from costa, near basal third, to below the
