502 List of Species belonging to the Family Pyralidae 



from costa to lb, angled outwardly at uppermedian and plical fold ; 

 some chestnut edging along costa to antemedial ; antemedial from 

 costa to below upper median very oblique outwardly, then very oblique 

 inwardly to vein 16 and sharply angled inwardly on upper median and 

 bluntly angled at lower median ; at plical fold some dark scaling forming 

 an ill-defined spot ; an oval annulus beyond discocellulars as on upper- 

 side, but lines narrower and better defined ; some chestnut-brown scaling 

 beyond it from veins 6 — 8 ; postmedial line double as on upperside, 

 outer line indistinct between veins 5 — lb ; on each line some dark 

 scaling on plical fold, forming two ill-defined maculae ; subterminal line 

 as on upper side, but more seal-brown (xxxix) than black. Hind wing 

 white, well suffused with cinnamon-buff, except the white maculae and 

 an area at inner margin between antemedial and medial lines ; all lines 

 chestnut ; subbasal ill defined ; antemedial well defined and curved 

 outwardly from costa to inner margin and somewhat dentated ; between 

 vein 2 and inner margin a broad heavily scaled chestnut line ; 

 annulus as on upperside ; postmedial as on upperside, but narrower and 

 with only a slight shading beyond it, indicating the second line ; the 

 postmedial runs parallel to outer margin, is outwardly dentate on veins 

 7, 6, 4, 3 and 2 t then obsolete but preceded by heavy chestnut scaling 

 to inner margin as in antemedial line ; the postmedial line is dentate 

 inwardly at discal fold ; subterminal as on upperside, but much less 

 defined ; cilia as on upperside. 



Exp. $ type, 43 mm. ; other specimens 42 mm. 



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

 December, 1919. 



Three other $ $ from the same locality. One of these three is 

 much darker in coloration, it is also minus the abdomen, but I have 

 little doubt that it is also a $ . All collected by C, F. and J. Pratt. 



POCOCERINAE. 

 (Epipaschianae.) 



The genus Epipaschia, type super atalis Clem, is certainly a synonym 

 of Macalla, type thyrsisalis Walk. If the family name is to be based on 

 a valid generic name only and not on a synonymic name, it is clear that 

 the old name cannot be retained, and I therefore adopt the change 

 proposed by Sir George Hampson.
