sinuate, little oblique; light brownish-ochreous, with indistinct strigulae 

 of fuscouslrroration; costa whitish-ochreous distinctly strigulated throughout 

 with rather dark fuscous ; basal patch obscurely infuscated except towards 

 dorsum, edge oblique, obtusely angulated on fold; a triangular dark 

 brown patch mixed with blackish-fuscous extending beneath costa from 

 before middle to near apex, and reaching 2 / 3 across wing; space between 

 this and termen silvery-whitish-iridescent, traversed by a rather irregular 

 dark fuscous subterminal streak; a small brown apical spot cut off by a 

 whitish strigula: cilia whitish-ochreous, with postmedian shade of light 

 greyish mixture. Hind wings 3 and 4 stalked; light grey; cilia ochreous- 

 whitish. 



Java, Preangor, 5000 feet (Sythoff); one specimen. Near the variable 

 ceriodes, but certainly distinct. 



Lobesia proterandra n. sp. 



cf 1 12 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax, and fore wings as in aeolopa. 

 Hindwings normal, as in Q? without tornal prolongation ; veins 3 and 4 

 equalling 2 / 5 of wing; grey; cilia pale greyish, with darker subbasal shade. 



9 Indistinguishable from aeolopa Ç. 



Java, Ardjoeno (Hekmeyer); two specimens. The hinclwings in aeolopa 

 tf are triangular, with tornal area somewhat produced and termen straigh- 

 ter, whitish towards dorsum, with dorsal and tornal cilia white, and 

 veins 3 and 4 are very short; in genialis cT the tornal extension and 

 white area are greatly exaggerated ; the females of all three species 

 are indistinguishable, so far as I can perceive. 



Argyroploce phaeopelta n. sp. 



cT 9 15 — 19 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax grey- whitish, more or less 

 suffusedly irrorated with grey. Abdomen in tf light grey or whitish- 

 ochreous sprinkled with grey, in 9 dark grey. Posterior tibiae without 

 tufts. Forewings posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 

 termen slightly rounded, little oblique; ferruginous, with curved trans- 

 verse subconfluent striation of iridescent-violet suffusion, sometimes for- 

 ming slight whitish dots on costa; a semioval grey dorsal patch irrorated 

 with whitish extending from base to beyond middle and reaching to fold; 

 basal patch above this limited by a fascia of deeper ferruginous; central 

 fascia broad, little oblique, deep ferruginous, broadest in disc but little 

 defined; ocellus represented by a somewhat darker streak broadly edged 

 laterally with iridescent-violet, sometimes connected above with a similar 

 streak from 3 / 4 of costa to middle of termen : cilia pale violet-brownish, 

 with darker subbasal line. Hindwings grey, becoming dark grey poste-
