9. Cacyparis brevipennis spec nov. 



Like hilaria, but the forewing broader and shorter ; the curved yellow band 

 broader in both sexes ; its lower edge straighter and bent down to inner margin 

 before tornus. 



New Guinea: Kapatir, Milne Bay (type), Humboldt Bay, Oetakwa River. 



10. Cacyparis rectilineata spec. nov. 



Nearest to brevipennis ; the line limiting the basal patch, which is olive-brown, 

 concisely straight from one-third of costa to beyond middle of inner margin ; the 

 yellow area much broader and at termen running up nearly to apex ; the brown 

 subapical area mixed with some grey scales ; the boss of inner margin small ; the 

 fringe pale, slightly lustrous, but without any lustrous scales at termeu before it ; 

 hindwing deep yellow, with a slight grey subterminal cloud beyond cell. 



Two specimens from Cedar Bay, Cooktown, Queensland (A. S. Meek) ; 1 ? 

 from Mulgrave River, Cairns, February 1889 (Barnard). 



11. Hyposcota aurata spec. nov. 



Forewing olive grey-brown, with two faint dark spots in cell ; costa golden 

 yellow to middle, the costal edge throughout ; the apex, tornal area, and termen 



narrowly between veins 2 and 4, with the fringe, golden yellow. Hindwing 



and fringe golden yellow. 



Underside of forewing blacker, the costa towards base marked with yellow ; 

 the yellow areas as on upper side in both wings, but in S hindwing with black 

 spot below cell. 



Face brown ; vertex orange ; tegnlae orange laterally edged with olive fuscous, 

 with metallic boss in middle ; thorax grey ; metathoracic tufts yellow with dark 

 tips ; abdomen yellow. 



A series from Hainan. 



i 12. Gabala australiata spec. nov. 



Smaller than argentata, and superficially most like potyspilalis, from which it 

 is separated at once by the absence of the fringes of hair on hindwing ; but it is 

 also distinguished, along with the following species, by having a yellow triangular 

 spot on middle of costa instead of the oblong white patch of polyspilalis ; the outer 

 half of the wing beyond the basal patch is darker brown, especially along the basal, 

 costal, and terminal pale markings ; the black triangular marks less conspicuous, 

 and the area below them dappled with reddish white, which in the clearer examples 

 takes the form of curved lines ; hindwing yellowish, with the termen reddish from 

 apex to vein 2. 



2 Si, 2 ■ ? ? from Cedar Bay, Cooktown, Queensland (Meek). 



13. Gabala quadrinigrata spec. nov. 



Resembles the preceding, but the whole of the outer two-thirds of forewing is 

 uniform dark snuff-coloured brown, with a faint reddish dot here and there ; the 

 basal area is followed on inner margin by an irregularly quadrate large black patch 

 touching the cell ; the silvery white spots representing the subbasal and inner lines
