Subfamily OENOCHROMINAE 

 1. Ozola sinuicosta grisescens subsp. no v. 



Differs from the name-type (Pront, Gen. Ins., fasc. 104, p. 94) in having 

 the ground-colour grey, not fleshy-ochreous, the markings also less brightly 

 ferruginous. 



Sikkim, 8 <$ <$, 4 ? ? , in coll. Tring Mus. Also in other collections. 



2. Ozola auranticeps spec. nov. 



<$ , 41-44 mm. Head bright orange, the face and palpus mixed with red and 

 blackish. Collar and front of thorax bright orange. Body otherwise dirty 

 ochreous-whitish, mottled with dark grey ; abdomen strongly elongate, anteriorly 

 with slight ochreous dorsal belts. 



Forewing elongate, shaped nearly as in macariata Walk. <$, the apex appear- 

 ing at first glance more falcate on account of a patch of white fringe from close 

 to apex to the gibbosity at R 2 ; colour and markings recalling those of atrofasciata 

 Pagen st., but the ground-colour whiter, irroration coarser and less regularly 

 distributed, markings rather more blackish ; costal margin more heavily spotted 

 and strigulated than in that species, the incomplete antemedian line thicker, more 

 strongly bent in cell, discal dot larger, connected with costa by some dark shading, 

 a pair of spots (sometimes confluent) behind the proximal part of M 2 , dark border 

 less smoothly bounded proximally, the ground-colour encroaching for some distance 



along costa and slightly near hindmargin. Hindwing more heavily dotted and 



spotted than in atrofasciata, the ground-colour slightly projecting into the black 

 border in the middle. 



Underside the same. 



Kalewara, Central Celebes, February 5, 1913 (Dr. Martin). 2 $ $ in coll. 

 Tring Mus. 



A very fine species. 



3. Celerena lerne amplimargo subsp. nov. 



Both wings with the black border considerably broadened, that of the forewing 

 (except in undersized specimens) measuring 17-19 mm. at costa ; the contained 

 white bands broadened, usually very much broadened, sometimes showing some 

 yellow shading in their proximal part. 



S. and S.E. Dutch New Guinea: Oetakwa River district (Snow Mountains) 

 and Ellanden River. Type S, near Oetakwa River, up to 3500 ft, October — 

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



The species was described from Dorei, and occurs in the typical form from 

 Misol to Humboldt Bay.
