Exp. $ type, 32 mm. ; $ , 35 mm. ; other $ specimens, 28 — 32 mm. ; 

 $ specimens, 30 — 35 mm. 



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

 December, 1919, collected by C, F. and J. Pratt. Besides the types, 

 eight $ paratypes and eight $ paratypes ; twenty-six other specimens 

 in rather poor condition. 



This species comes in Hampson's Section II B (6) ; antennae are 

 normal and biciliated in the $ ; veins 4 and 5 of both wings are closely 

 approximated. The outer margin of the fore wing is in the $ slightly 

 incurved at plical fold. 



80. Endotricha simplex sp. nov. 



$ . Fore wing, head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs vinaceous- 

 rufous (xiv) ; anal tuft light orange-yellow (iii). Fore wing of an 

 almost uniform colour, except along costa, which is darker ; whole 

 wing slightly sprinkled with black scales ; a series of small light orange- 

 yellow spots along costa ; basal area slightly irrorated with light 

 orange-yellow scales ; antemedial line oblique and almost straight, 

 faintly indicated by a darker line than the ground-colour and scaled 

 outwardly with light orange-yellow scales ; some black scaling at 

 discocellulars ; subterminal line thin, light orange-yellow and curved 

 outwardly near apex, then obliquely to tornus and slightly lunulate 

 between the veins ; small black terminal spots between the veins from 

 above vein 3 to apex ; cilia vinaceous-rufous at basal half, then light 

 orange-yellow. Hind wing maize-yellow (iv) at basal area, suffused 

 with vinaceous-rufous at outer half from lc to apex and along inner- 

 margin at between la and 16 ; some light orange-yellow scaling 

 between lb and 2, covering the whole of the area near the tornus ; an 

 indistinct maize-yellow postmedial line from near costa to vein 2, then 

 curved and obsolete to tornus, near which it becomes more distinct ; 

 .some fine black terminal points ; cilia as in fore wing, but basal half 

 tipped with black from lb to vein 3. 



Underside : Fore wing with ground colour as on upperside, but less 

 dense, especially between inner margin and 16 ; spots along costa as 

 on upper side, but costa itself only narrowly edged with fuscous-black ; 

 black irroration very thin and only at medial area from vein 2 to 

 costa near subterminal line ; black scaly macula at discocellulars ; 

 subterminal line more distinct than on upperside, double, dentate 

 inwardly on the veins, first line orange-buff (iii), second line light 

 orange-yellow; veins 2 — 7 and costal area beyond it streaked with
