two pure white transvei'se spots beneatli co.sta at two-thirds, 

 upper oue the larger ; an obscurely-indicated transverse row of 

 darker spots from apex to anal angle, nearly parallel to hind- 

 margin ; cilia fuscous, with whitish tips. Hindwings scarlet, 

 markings black ; a broad irregular hindmarginal fascia, narrower 

 at anal angle, from one-half of costa to anal angle, enclosing two 

 spots of ground-colour, one below apex, and one beyond and near 

 anal angle, the last hardly separated from ground-colour, inner 

 margin broadly ochreous fuscous, cilia as forewings. Underside 

 dark-fuscous, basal area strongly suffused with ferruginous; on 

 oblique irregular wedge-shape streak of scarlet from immediately 

 beneath costa at one-half, reaching half across wing ; six obscure 

 ovate transverse whitish spots, sufiusedly edged with reddish- 

 orange from near beneath apex to half across wing. Hindwino-g 

 as forewings, a scarlet spot in disc, another beneath apex, paler, 

 a third immediately beneath first, a fourth immediately beyond, 

 and a fifth below and between fourth and fiftli. 



A distinct species well-characterised by the hindwinn-s. The 

 one specimen is not in the best condition, so that the description 

 is a little loosely drawn up. The female may possibly be brighter 

 coloured. One specimen, Fi-aser Range, October 14, 1891. 



Teaea erebodes, spec. nov. 



Female, 42-50 nnn. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs darlv 

 fuscous, hairs of thorax yellowish tinged, tolerably erect. 

 Abdominal segments and anal tuft orange, more pronounced 

 beneath. Antenna ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa nearly 

 straight, hindmargin obliquely rounded; uniform dark fuscous, 

 minutely irrorated with paler ; cilia fuscous, with a blackish line 

 at base. Hindwings with hindmargin rounded, slightly paler than 

 forewings. Underside as upperside. 



Seven female specimens; Fraser Range, in October. It is just 

 possible the male will be found to be much lighter coloured, as is 

 usual with the Team. 



Darala ociiroptera, spec. nov. 

 Male, 55 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen and legs pale whitish 

 ochreous ; thorax fuscous-tinged beneath. Abdominal segments 

 fuscous. Antenna; white, pectinations about 12. Forewings 

 triangular, costa slightly sinuate, hindmargin strongly rounded, 

 rather oblique, pale whitish ochreous, with fuscous markings; a 

 small fuscous basal patch, a curved thick line from beneath costa 

 at one-fourth to inner margin at one-third, darker anteriorly ; a 

 blackish longitudinal ovate discal spot at one-third, and another, 

 transverse, beyond it at about one-half, centred with whitish, both 

 above middle ; a narrow fuscous line from two-thirds of costa to
