18 STOVITATES ZOOLOOICAB XXIII. 1916. 



41. Scopula discrepans sp. no v. 



S, 16-17 mm. Face and npperside of palpus black. Vertex and base of 

 antennal shaft cream-colour; antennal ciliation long. Thorax, abdomen, and legs 

 cream-colour, the abdomen dorsally with a few minute black dots ; hindtibia 

 thickened, rather longer than femur, fringed with projecting scales above ; tarsus 

 slender, nearly three-quarters tibia. 



Forewing rather broad, apex blunt, termen sinuous, very faintly subconcave 

 anteriorly, rather ventricose posteriorly; cream-colour, slightly washed with pale 

 greyish as far as postmedian line, and with a few scattered black scales ; costal edge 

 and a slight terminal shading more ochreous ; antemedian line fine and very 

 indistinct, ochreous-tinged, very oblique outwards from one-third costa to discal 

 dot, here right-angled, thence oblique inwards and sinuous ; discal dot minute, 

 black ; postmedian line fine and not very strong, black, from costa before three- 

 fourths, very slightly curved outwards anteriorly and inwards at radials, then 

 straightish to hindmargin not far from tornus ; a narrow, slightly ochreous shade 

 distally to this line, mixed with grey scales at tornus and marked distally with 

 two confluent black teeth (forming a sort of W) between R 3 and M 2 ; terminal line 



slight, ochreous, mixed with blackish scales; fringe ochreous. Hindwing with 



termen irregularly convex, slightly prominent at R l and at R 3 , feebly sinuate 

 between and again near tornus ; a minute black discal dot ; a very faint sinuous 

 ochreous line beyond it, followed by a band of greyish shading as far as the pale 

 submarginal area ; distal margin, terminal line and fringe as on forewing. 



Both wings beneath smoky grey from base to a darker grey postmedian band ; 

 distal area cream-colour, thus strikingly contrasted ; costal edge of forewing and 

 all fringes more ochreous. 



Kumnsi River, N.E. British New Guinea, low level, August 1907 (A. S. Meek). 

 Five $ $ in coll. Tring Mus. 



42. Xenocentris subcolorata sp. nov. 



S ? , 14-16 mm. Similar to, and agreeing in leg-structure with gravipes Warr. 

 {Nov. Zool. xiv. 138, Argi/roscelia), but smaller, antennal ciliation apparently 

 longer (unfortunately a little damaged in gravipes type). 



Forewing slightly less elongate towards apex, rather more glossy, costal margin 

 darkened with purplish grey gloss (towards base redder), sinuous reddish lines 

 more or less indicated, the antemedian at hindmargin only, or obsolete, the 

 proximal subterminal more or less broadened into a band, sometimes nearly 

 meeting the postmedian, ending in a more distinct spot at hindmargin, spots on 



fringe minute and weak. Hindwing with termen more gibbous, the reddish 



lines more or less continued. 



Forewing beneath clouded with vinous anteriorly, in cell, and (more or less 

 band-wise) in distal area ; hindwing with two ill-defined vinous bands distally. 



Goodenongh Island, 2500-4000 ft., March 1913 (type S) to May 1913 

 (A. S. Meek), in coll. Tring Mus. 



43. Timandra punctinervis sp. nov. 



S ?, 31-36 mm. Face and palpus reddish brown. Head and body concolorous 

 with wings. 



Forewing nearly as in amata L., but with a rather dense grey irroration giving 

 it nearly the tone of extremaria Walk., the lines, however, remaining well
