65. Spiroterma caranaea Meyr. 



Upolu, Apia, November ; 1 ex. Occurs also in India, Ceylon, and New 

 Hebrides, therefore probably introduced ; the example varies slightly from type, 

 but cannot be separated specifically ; the oblique median line of forewings is 

 rather silvery-metallic in disc, and the blackish irroration is less pronounced 

 and general. 



66. Pyroderces euryspora Meyr. 



Upolu, Apia, November ; 1 ex. Described (Exot. Micr. ii, 471) from a 

 specimen from Fiji ; bred from larvae feeding in dry cotton-bolls, which are a 

 favourite pabulum also of other species of the genus, but probably, like them 

 also, the species feeds on various dry refuse. 



67. Limnoecia arsitricha, n. sp. 



11-13 mm. Head whitish-ochreous, a central stripe on crown greyish. 

 Palpi whitish. Thorax whitish-ochreous. Forewings greyish-ochreous to grey ; 

 very oblique whitish wedge-shaped streaks from costa near base, at \, middle, 

 and f , first rather short, second extended as a line to tornus, third extended as a 

 line to middle of a streak along termen to apex, thickened on upper part of 

 termen, fourth finest not quite reaching this ; a slender whitish supramedian 

 streak from base crossing second of these and running into third, in one example 

 obsolete ; a whitish subdorsal streak from base to tornus ; a black line along 

 terminal edge, interrupted below middle ; a short inwards-oblique whitish wedge- 

 shaped mark on costa towards apex, edged posteriorly by a blackish line con- 

 tinued on costa to apex : cilia whitish, on termen mixed dark fuscous towards 

 base, on tornal area tinged grey. Hindwings grey ; in broader, an expansible 

 tuft of very long ochreous-whitish hairs from near base of costa ; cilia pale grey. 



Upolu, Malololelei, 2,000 feet, Apia, Vailima, March, May, July, December ; 

 6 ex. Occurs also in New Hebrides. 



68. Limnoecia eumeristis, n. sp. 



8-9 mm. Head, thorax bronzy-fuscous, somewhat mixed pale ochreous, 

 face whitish-ochreous. Palpi fuscous, second joint with pale ochreous supra- 

 median band and subapical ring. Thorax in $ with long expansible lateral 

 whitish-ochreous hairpencil from beneath forewings reaching middle of abdomen.
