554 ON MOTHS FROM DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 



Fore wing pale golden, a, very short basal dark line, an oblique 

 antemedian line, a sharply angulated media.n line, a regular 

 CLU'ved postmedian line (all these are dark fuscous and the last is 

 lost in a fuscous patch which extends from the middle of the hind 

 margin halfway up the hind margin). 



Hind wing pale at base, with the whole of the outer portion 

 dark fuscous, the boundary between these is marked by a very 

 irregular angulated line. Fringes rather paler.

Pyrausta flammealis, sp. n. (PI. LXYIII. fig. 20.) 



Male with a tuft of hair at base of fore wing below and a strong 

 fold of costa extending to end of cell ; female with a smaller tuft 

 of hair ; both sexes have the base of the antennae surmounted by 

 a tuft of hair, but this is larger in the male. Head, legs, and an- 

 tennee pinkish brown, also palpi; abdomen ochreous above, darker 

 below ; thorax and patagia flame-colour. 



Fore wing flame-colour, with three transverse fine dark lines : the 

 first ante median and oblique, the second median and angulated in 

 the middle, the third angulated and not reaching below the third 

 nervure ; all the margins of the wing are darker. 



Hind wing uniformly straw-colour with fringes slightly darker ; 

 fringes of fore wing dark. In the female the flame-colour is 

 replaced by Indian yellow. 



Exp. 30 mm.

In addition to these species I have figured two varieties of 

 species already described : — 



PI. LXVIII. fig. 21 represents a form of Glyphodes pfeifferce in 

 which the marginal border to both wings is much deeper than any 

 specimen I have received from New Guinea. 



PI. LXVIII. fig. 22 represents a form of Ccdamachrous alhi- 

 punctalis in which the deep maroon-purple of the wings of this 

 species is replaced by bright chestnut. 



Both of these forms are from the island of Mioswar. 



Although in some cases a good series of the species was obtained, 

 in others only single specimens or two examples were taken, so 

 that the difierences in sex could not be ascertained. 



From this circumstance I am inclined to think that many other
