208 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916-. 



Rnk (Caroline Islands), June 1896. Type in coll. Tring Mas. 

 The unique type is unfortunately a good deal rubbed, but shape, colour, and 

 structure will render it easy of recognition. 



49. Strepsichlora remissa nom. nov. 



Strepsichlora acutilunata $ Warr., Nov. Zool. xiv. 136 (1907) (nee £). 



Although I am still unacquainted with the true ? of acutilunata and the c? of 

 the present species, I have no hesitation in separating the two. The species of this 

 genus show no sexual and little individual variation, and the costal and median 

 markings, the dotted termen and fringe, etc., of remissa are absolutely distinctive ; 

 the abdomen has the white spot on second tergite enlarged, the others obsolescent, 

 whereas acutilunata has a uniform row of small dots. The coincidence of the 

 occurrence of the two species in the same locality, which misled Warren, is less 

 remarkable when it is observed that the single ? (remissa) was taken in January — 

 probably a straggler from an earlier brood — the series of S S (acutilunata) February 

 to April. 



It may be here remarked that dissimilis Warr. (Nov. Zool. six. 73) is a rather 

 more strongly marked race, if not indeed a synonym, of acutilunata. 



50. Oxychora dentilinea (Warr.) 



Oxypora dentilinea $ Warr., Nov. Zool. xix. 80 (1912) (nee £). 



Warren described this species from the $ and added a brief reference to the g 

 which he believed to belong to it. This c?, however, is a quite distinct species, 

 exactly matched by a ? from the same locality with strongly pectinate antenna, 

 as in tenuis Warr. (cfr. Nov. Zool. xx. 432). This pair may, at least provisionally, 

 be merged with assimilis Rothsch. (Lep. Brit. Orn. Un. Exped. p. 9), described 

 from a unique and rather faded <?, which looks yellower green, with less fuscous 

 costal edge and some other trifling differences.

51. Oenospila lucifirnbria glaucilinea snbsp. nov. 



Brighter green than lucifirnbria lucifirnbria Warr., the lines twice as thick, of 

 a more decided glaucous, the costal and distal edges brighter yellow. 



Rook Island, July— August 1913 (A. S. Meek). Type $ and 6 ? ? in coll. 

 Tring Mas. 



52. Berta anteplaga spec nov. 



<?, 24-26 mm. General coloration of chrysolineata Walk. Antennal pectina- 

 tions rather less long. 



Forewing with termen smoother and more regular; SC 1 arising from cell, 

 though close to its end, anastomosing rather strongly with C ; the white spots 

 rather less intense, much less regularly and qnite differently distributed, those of 

 the proximal and distal areas being very small, those of the median mostly wanting, 

 replaced by a large, irregularly quadrate patch shortly beyond the cell, bounded by 



R 1 and R 3 , and a much smaller subcostal patch anterior to its distal extremity. 



Hindwing with termen rather less deeply dentate; distal spots much smaller than 

 in chrysolineata. 



Khasis, March 1894 (type) and February 1894 (3), all in coll. Tring Mus.
