158 ZOOLOGISCHE MEDEDEELINGEN — DEEL VI. 



wings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, 

 termen slightly rounded, little oblique; dark fuscous; a small basal patch 

 of blue-leaden mixture, edge angulated; central fascia blackish-brown, 

 hardly oblique, narrowed and lighter brown on dorsal third, limited 

 anteriorly by an irregular fascia of subconfluent blue-leaden striation 

 rising from two pairs of whitish costal strigulae, posteriorly with very 

 strong acute-triangular prominence beneath costa, beneath this limited 

 by a fascia of blue-leaden striation somewhat mixed with whitish, above 

 projection edged by a very oblique blue-leaden stria continued as an 

 expanding wedge-shaped mark of white suffusion to termen beneath apex, 

 above this some light brownish subcostal suffusion and several white 

 costal strigulae; an indistinct white dot in central fascia near middle ot 

 posterior edge; two erect leaden marks from tornus indicating posterior 

 edge of ocellus: cilia brownish mixed with darker, on upper part of 

 termen whitish-ochreous. Hindwings 3 and 4 nearly approximated at base; 

 rather dark grey; cilia light grey, whitish-sprinkled toward tips. 



Java, Preangor, 5000 feet (Sythoff); one specimen. Also one in my 

 collection from Assam, Khasis. Apparently allied to aprobola, but much 

 broader-winged. 



Argyroploce philocompsa n. sp. 



cT 16 mm. Head whitish-grey mixed on crown with dark grey, lower 

 part of face white. Palpi subascending, dark fuscous, short terminal joint 

 and apex of second white. Thorax grey irrorated with white, with irre- 

 gular dark grey antemedian bar. Abdomen dark grey. Posterior tibiae 

 towards apex and basal joint of tarsi tufted above with long ochreous- 

 white hairscales. Forewings posteriorly dilated, costa gently arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen slightly rounded, little oblique; dark fuscous, almost 

 wholly overlaid by subconfluent violet-grey striation, partially rosy-tinged 

 and with some white sprinkling, striae rising from paired white costal 

 dots; basal patch somewhat darker and mixed with rosy-ferruginous suf- 

 fusion, edge irregular, forming a dark spot on costa; central fascia direct, 

 dark brown, very narrow on costa, rapidly widened so that posterior 

 edge forms a strong acute projection beneath costa, thence gradually 

 narrowed to dorsum, dorsal third ferruginous-ochreous, posterior edge 

 followed by a spot of ferruginous-ochreous suffusion beneath projection; 

 interior of ocellus indicated by an irregular erect rosy-fuscous streak; a 

 similar streak, enlarged above, from beneath costa at 4 / 5 to middle of 

 termen : cilia rosy-brown. Hindwings dark grey; a small fine black hairpencil 

 lying in a subdorsal groove ; cilia whitish-grey, with grey subbasal line. 



Java, Buitenzorg; one specimen. Allied to preceding.
