NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 217 



green ; a median bent in cell ; outer bent at veins 6 and 4 ; an obscnre subterminal ; 



termen deeper green ; fringe violet-grey. Hindwing white, tinged with very pale 



grey in S, darker in ? ; the termen towards apex faintly greenish; the veins 

 darker grey. Underside grey, darker in forewing than hindwing : both wings with 

 a yellow-green apical patch, stronger in the ? . 



Palpi and antennae purplish brown ; head and thorax pale green ; abdomen 

 white, the dorsum dark grey. 



A pair from Momeit, Burma, June 1S90 (W. Doherty). In shape and appear- 

 ance much resembling apicebrunnea Warr. from the Khasia Hills, but the fringe 

 is different, and the lines green in both sexes, the ? without the rosy tinge. The 

 last two species may be distinguished from roseifera Btlr. by the longer wings 

 with pale green fringes. 



Parerastria gen. nov. 



Tongue well developed ; frons smooth ; palpi upturned, the second segment 

 moderately scaled, the third short and smooth ; antennae of <$ serrate, pubescent; 

 the basal segment enlarged, with a slight tuft ; head and thorax roughly scaled ; 



metathorax slightly crested ; dorsum smooth. Forewing elongate triangular ; 



the costa protuberant beyond middle ; apex blunt ; termen shallowly excised 

 between 7 and 4, which is somewhat prominent, then oblique ; the tornus with a 

 strong tooth of scales ; inner margin sinuate, incurved before the scale tooth ; fore- 

 wing with veins 7, 8, 9 stalked, 10 and 11 free, from the cell ; 5 from just above 4 

 in both wings ; in hindwing 3, 4 and 6, 7 from angles of cell. 



Type : P. castaneata spec. nov. 



30. Parerastria castaneata spec. nov. 



Forewing chestnut brown ; the costa at base and the terminal area narrowly, 

 white: inner line dark, oblique and straight from costa to submedian fold, then 

 inwardly oblique to near base of inner margin ; the costa spotted with brown before 

 the protuberance ; orbicular stigma a small annulus with brown outline ; reniform 

 large, somewhat oblique, with dark outline and brown centre ; outer line oblique 

 outwards to vein 7, then slightly lunulate-dentate, vertical to 4, incurved to sub- 

 median fold and again outcurved, followed by another dark line, and a brown band, 

 of which the outer edge is lunulate-dentate ; termen white, except at apex ; a 

 terminal line of dark grey lunules ; fringe pale grey ; the tooth of scales whitish 



with two black marks. Hindwing whitish at base, becoming grey towards 



termen beyond a dark curved onter line. 



Mackay, Queensland. 



31. Chloroplaga pallida spec. nov. 



Forewing greyish ochreous, thickly sprinkled with dark green scales ; a dark 

 green oblique costal patch at one-third connected with a curved green lunulate 

 patch in cell ; a small green costal patch at two-thirds ; from these patches an 

 inner vertically waved line and an outer sinuously curved line can be traced to inner 

 margin, where they approximate ; submarginal line startiug from a green spot close 

 before apex, formed of green spots or lunules between veins, indented on each fold 

 and outcurved between, preceded by a pale ochreous band ; fringe grey mottled 

 with dark. Hindwing in both sexes whitish towards base, straw yellow in outer
