PYRALID^. 
nerviile ; some black specks on the margin below the apex. Hind wing white, with a large 
black spot at the end of the cell ; two indistinct dusky waved postmedial Imes which meet at 
the middle and become faint towards the anal angle ; on the apical half of the margin are 
black submarginal and marginal lines, with some black spots between them. 
Nearest to P. diminutalis, Snell. 
Parapoynx crisonalis, Wlk. (Plate CLXXIV. fig. 8.) 
Hydrocampa crisonalis, Wllc. Cat. xix. p. 961. 
Expanse ^ inch. 
Dull brown. Fore wing with indistinct obliquely placed antemedial black specks; two 
black specks at end of cell ; a postmedial ochreous band recurved below the angle of cell ; a 
submarginal clouded band and submarginal and cilial fine lines. Hind wing with traces of a 
dark medial and fulvous postmedial line ; submarginal and cilial fine lines. 
Parapoynx griseolalis. (Plate CLXXIV. fig. 12.) 
Expanse \ inch. 
Male and Female. Pale grey. Fore wing with the costa fuscous at base ; dark ante- 
medial and postmedial straight, nearly erect lines ; a spot at end of cell aud marginal line 
expanding into a series of lunules on a white ground towards the apex. Hind wing with a 
spot at end of cell and dark postmedial and marginal lines meeting at the anal angle. Abdo- 
men with the end of each segment white. 
Closely allied to P. hartoghialis, Snell., from New Guinea, from which it differs in having 
the two transverse lines of the fore wing closer together, and in wanting the white blotch on 
the postmedial one. 
Oligostigma niveinotatum. (Plate CLXXIV. fig. 32.) 
Expanse, J* ^, ? 1 inch. 
Male and Female. Head and thorax brown, irrorated with white scales ; abdomen in the 
male white, in the female pale fulvous, each segment edged with black. Fore wing dark 
brown ; the costa and outer margin bright fulvous ; a broad, pure white, somewhat irregular 
oblique band from below the end of the cell in the middle of the interno-median interspace 
to the centre of the inner margin ; a subtriangular pure white spot beyond the end of the 
cell from the fifth subcostal to the first median nervule; a broad pure white submarginal 
band outwardly edged by a black line, narrowing towards the outer angle, and not quite 
reaching the costa or inner margin ; a series of marginal black specks. Hind wing with the 
basal half dark brown ; the oblique medial band of the fore wing continued across it as a 
subbasal band, but not quite reaching the inner margin ; a medial fulvous line slightly angled
