1 6 . Base Camp, sea-level, Setakwa River, Nov.-Dec. 1912. 



Walker's type from the Aru Islands is in good condition in the British Museum and 

 is clearly a Cleitamia. The species is intermediate, as regards its wing-markings, 

 between C. liturata (Walk.) and C. kerteszi Hendel, differing from the former in 

 having a dark costal margin at the apex of the wing, and from the latter in the larger 

 brown patch at the base of the wing.
