so that Walker's well-known name must sink. It is doubtful whether the genus 

 is taxonomically separable from the African Terina Walk., which is older than 

 Bursada but younger than Ctimene. 



144. Ctimene hysginospila sp. nov. 



3 ? , 35-38 mm. Head and body black, the underside of the body, together 

 with the legs, paler ; an admixture of orange scales on the sides of the abdomen 

 about the fifth and sixth segments. 



Foreioing with apex rather rounded ; black, with a rather narrow white band 

 beyond the cell, running about from SC 2 to M 2 in such direction that if continued 

 it would reach termen almost at tornus ; around the white band, and as a narrow 

 band from this to costal and hindmargin, also at the extreme termen and on fringe, 



the ground-colour is slightly paler and greyer. -Hindwing black, with a narrow 



red patch about from radial fold to M 2 , arising rather nearer to cell than to termen ; 

 a few red scales in cell towards its end ; termen and fringe as ou forewing. 



Underside more greyish, especially towards hindmargin of both wings ; the 

 bands reproduced ; hindwing with a large red patch iu cell beyond its middle, 

 crossing M. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, March 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type 

 and others in coll. Tring Museum. Also from near Oetakwa River, Snow 

 Mountains, up to 3500 ft., October-December, 1910, in the same collection. 



145. Bursadopsis plenifascia sp. nov. 



3 , 35-36 mm. Head and body dull black, anal tuft mostly light brownish. 



Foreioing dull black, with a moderately broad orange or cadmium-orange 

 band from costal margin beyond middle to hindmargin close to tornus, its proximal 

 edge slightly curved (slightly approaching base at costa), its distal edge per- 

 pendicular from costa about to M 1 , then gradually curving so as to avoid running 

 to termen. Hindwing black. 



Underside the same. 



In an aberration the hindwing shows an orange postmedian patch or short, 

 irregular band from the radial fold to the submedian fold, touching the hinder 

 angle of cell. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, October- 

 December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



Differs from the type species of Bursadopsis (praeflavata Warr., Nov. Zool. 

 vi. 344), in that the stalk of SC 1-2 arises farther down the stalk of SC 3-5 , and 

 that SC 2 does not anastomose with SO 3-4 ; the hindwing is rather less fully 

 convex, indeed from SC 5 to R 3 almost straight. 



146. Bordeta bursadoides superior snbsp. nov. 



? , 52 mm. Larger than Bordeta bursadoides bursadoides Warr. {Nov. Zool. 

 xvi. 127), band of forewing broader (4 mm.), reaching nearly (on underside quite) 

 to M 2 . Abdomen intermediate between the type and ab. uniannulata (loc. cit.), 

 the belts, with the exception of the first, being rather narrow, but not reduced 

 to threads.
