220 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 191G. 



38. Pterogonia cassidata spec. nov. 



3. Forewing lilac-grey along inner margin and towards apex above vein 2, 

 the rest of the wing suffused with red-brown and shagreened by pale and dark 

 transverse striae ; the lines pale outwardly edged with reddish ; the inner oblique 

 to median vein, then vertical to vein 1, then again oblique; the outer shortly 

 angled outwards at veins 8 and 4, and inwards on both folds ; two or three 

 subterminal black spots ; the spot on discocellular as in episcopalis Swinh., but 

 more rounded inwardly, edged with dark brown, with no black spot below lower end. 



One c? from Coorg, Mercara. 



In this species the median vein and vein 1 are only slightly distorted ; veins 

 6 and 7 slanting downwards to termen. In episcopalis veins 2 to 7 are all greatly 

 distorted, the submedian fold being strongly marked beneath. 



39. Westermannia equina spec. nov. 



Smaller than columbina Warr. (1914). The forewing paler grey ; the dark 

 spot in cell minute or absent ; the median prolongation of the dark terminal shade 

 reaching below vein 1 and bluntly rounded, its inner edge more vertically curved ; 

 the reniform stigma narrower, with a black spot above it and a white (or yellow) 

 one below it ; the figuration, roughly speaking, resembling the head of a horse. 



Little Kei. 



40. Westermannia interrupta spec. nov. 



Forewing greyish brown, growing paler towards costa and termen ; costal edge 

 pale ; inner margin from base of cell to three-quarters cream-colour, indented and 

 often quite interrupted at a little before middle by the brown ground-colour ; lines 

 very obscure; the outer rather darker, ontcurved and more or less parallel to 

 termen ; subterminal more indistinct ; reniform stigma marked by a black dot at 



upper end and a white one at lower end of discocellular ; fringe brown. 



Hindwing whitish washed with fuscous grey, diffusely darker along termen ; the 

 veins dark. 



The ? is decidedly darker in both wings. 



Solomons, from various islands, type from Florida, all collected by A. S. Meek. 



41. Tympanistis rufimacula spec. nov. 



Forewing grey, dusted with greenish grey, without the transverse strigulae ; 

 lines greenish grey, more concise ; the inner bent outwards towards inner margin, 

 the outer incurved below middle, approaching inner line on inner margin, followed 

 by a feebler grey line ; subterminal line formed of slightly connected spots, 

 indented on each fold ; cell-spot red ; the inner margin at base, the basal half 



of submedian fold and a patch along vein 3 to subterminal line red. Hind wing 



red, with costa pale ochreous. 



Khasia Hills, Assam. Much smaller than testacea Moore ; the scaling normal. 



42. Dabareta tumidistigma spec. nov. 



Distinguished from chlorostigma by the stigmata being dark green edged 

 with whitish and much larger, especially the claviform, which sometimes extends 

 below vein 1 and above coalesces with the orbicular.
