494 List of Species belonging to the Family Pyralidae 



fuscous ; anal tuft black ; femora and tibiae of all legs tinged on outer 

 side with glossy fuscous hairs mixed with black ones, especially on 

 the hind legs. Fore wing on upperside with costa broadly bordered 

 with glossy-fuscous reaching at basal half as far as lower median, 

 except an oblong narrow patch just before discocellulars and the disco- 

 cellulars themselves ; beyond discocellulars a broader fuscous mark ; 

 outer margin bordered with fuscous to beyond half-way to 

 disco-cellulars, except at tornus, where it suddenly becomes narrower ; 

 this border is diffused on the inner side, but getting more and more 

 glossy towards the cilia, where it gets a silvery scaling as in pfeifierae ; 

 cilia fuscous. Hind wing with diffused elongate discocellular mark ; 

 outer marginal border as on fore wing, extending for nearly one-third 

 width of wing ; cilia fuscous. Underside as above, but less glossy. 



2 like $ , but costal border of fore wing with two broad streaks 

 of clay colour ; white patch in cell larger and an additional rounded 

 white spot just above it, which was only indicated in the $ ; outer 

 marginal borders of both wings less diffused on inner side, less glossy 

 and narrower, about two-thirds of that of $ ; discocellular mark of 

 hind wing as narrow as in pfeiferae, but in some ? 2 almost as 

 broad as in $ . Underside lighter than in $ . 



Exp. $ type, 32 mm. ; 2 type, 40 mm., in coll. Janse. 



Habitat. — Central Ceram, Manusela, 6,000 feet, October- 

 December, 1919. 



Eleven $ $ and twelve 2 2 , including types. One specimen from 

 Kenali (Sumatra), H. Forbes. 



There is a possibility that this species is identical with Sir George 

 Kenrick's G. pfeiferae var., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., pi. lxviii, fig. 21 

 (1912), which I take to be a 2 , but the colour of the cilia is entirely 

 different, and the $ $ oi M. joiceyi have the outer marginal suffusion 

 broader. 



48. Margaronia curvilinea sp. nov. 



This species resembles M. nigropunctalis Brem. very much, but 

 the postmedial lines of both wings are not on the same place and 

 are irregularly curved, especially in the hind wings. Besides the hind 

 wings are more curved at the outer margin, and the species is also 

 rather larger. 



$ . Head, palpi, thorax and abdomen on upper and under side, 

 legs and wings pure white, wings with a mother-of-pearl gloss ; 

 tegulae and patagia and palpi on upper part mars-yellow (iii) ; a
