Tineidae, Subfamily Gelechianae — Insert Brachmia, 

 sp. One imperfect example, closely allied to arotraea, Meyr., 

 from Ceylon and India. Subfamily Tineinae — For Tinea, 

 sp. (page 56), substitute Tinea, n. sp. 



Arctiadae — Nesiotica cladara, n. gen. et sp. This has 

 been already described. 



Family GEOMETRIDAE. 

 Subfamily BOARMIANAE. 



Cleora idiocrossa, n. sp. (iSioKpoo-cro?, with peculiar margin). 



9, 40 mm. Head grey-whitish. Palpi 2; grey-whitish. 

 Antennae grey-whitish. Thorax and abdomen whitish-grey 

 with a few darker scales. Legs grey-whitish irregularly 

 speckled with fuscous; anterior and middle tarsi annulated 

 with fuscous. Forewings with term en dentate; 10 and 11 

 separate; whitish-grey sparsely irrorated with fuscous; mark- 

 ings brownish-grey and fuscous ; antemedian and median 

 lines brownish-grey, suffused, ill-defined; a dark-fuscous 

 dot on lower edge of cell posterior to antemedian line; a 

 pale-centred fuscous median spot just posterior to median 

 line; a well-marked dark-fuscous line from § costa to § 

 dorsum, strongly but irregularly dentate, slightly projecting 

 above middle; immediately posterior to this a brownish-grey 

 shade; twin roundish subterminal fuscous spots above middle, 

 and a short subterminal fuscous line from dorsum; an incom- 

 plete fuscous submarginal shade; a fine dark-fuscous terminal 

 line thickened in indentations ; cilia grey-whitish, towards 

 tornus whitish. Hindwings somewhat elongate, termen 

 strongly dentate ; as forewings but without antemedian and 

 median lines; subterminal line completely developed. Under- 

 side whitish with fuscous median circular spots, fine dentate 

 postmedian line, and incomplete broad terminal band on each 

 wing. 



A very distinct species of the acaciaria group, easily 

 distinguished from its allies by the strongly dentate termen 

 of both wings. Mr. Prout writes "near samoana, Butl., 

 termen slightly less oblique and postmedian line less out- 

 bent at veins." One example in fair condition.

<5 , 20 mm. Head and thorax pale fuscous slightly
