FAUNA OF THE MONTE BELLO ISLANDS, 647 
16. ANUMETA ZUBOIDES, sp. n. (PI. I. fig. 12.) 
This may prove to be merely a form of Anwmeta zuba Swinh., 
to which in any case it is very closely allied. Compared with 
specimens in the British Museum, the following distinctions are 
readily observed : somewhat larger in size; the white line across 
the fore wings in the majority of specimens much more distinct, 
waved instead of straight ; hind wings darker in colour. Expanse, 
50 mm. 
The specimens were taken on sugar, Hermite, July 1912. 
17. CIRPHIS ABDOMINALIS Walk. 
Recorded from North Australia. Hermite, scarce. 
18. Amywna ocro Guen. 
Widely distributed, occurring from India to the New Hebrides. 
19. Amyna sprtonota Lower. 
A North Australian species, recorded from Port Darwin. 
20. EUBLEMMA DUBIA Butler. 
Distributed over the greater part of the Australian continent. 
21. PotypEsMA LAwsont Feld. 
Western Australia. Specimens identical with examples from 
the Sherlock River. 
PoOLYDESMA MARMARINOPA. 
Also identical with specimens from the Sherlock River. 
COLEOPTERA. 
The following very meagre provisional list comprises all the 
beetles found upon the islands, although considerable pains were 
taken in their collection. Searching the sand and vegetation at 
night by the aid of a lantern yielded the best results, but there 
ean be few species and those by no means abundant. Of these 
three appear to be new, but they are not now described, as many 
type-specimens of West Australian species have not been examined. 
The list will serve at least to show the type of the fauna.
