To p. 44, Heliomystis: 
The enormously developed thoracic crest and even the entire scheme of markings show that this genus 
is almost the direct ancestor of Dindica, differing only in the somewhat more primitive venation (as Archaeo- 
balbis from Neobalbis ) and in the pectination of the A antenna, which continues nearly to the apex. 
H. electrica Meyr. Has been taken in scattered localities from the National Park, Queensland, to Tas¬ 
mania . 
To p. 45, Sterictopsis: 
S. argyraspis Lower ( = inconsequens Warr.). Goldfinch has confirmed this synonymy from a study 
of Lower's type, for which the locality (Blackwood) was perhaps erroneous. The well authenticated range 
is from Queensland to Victoria. Variable, at times more or less melanic. 
S. divergens Goldfinch, founded on 4 EE taken at light in Eucalyptus forest at Mittagong, N. S. W., 
has the 1st radial of the hindwing stalked or connate; thus a surer generic distinction of Heliomystis is 
in its exaggerated crests. Larger than argyraspis (44 mm), white with black irroration and yellowish suffusions, 
the fine zigzag lines of the forewing arising from black costal marks, somewhat more suggestive of the scheme of 
subrubescens (Aeolochroma) than of argyraspis. Hindwing, however, whitish with a broad dark border, much 
as in typical argyraspis. 
To p. 46, Archaeobalbis cristata: 
xuthopletes subsp. nov. (5 h) is smaller, with the submarginal bands beneath broader, vinaceous-tawny 
at the edges, more testaceous in the middle, entirely without black admixture. Bansal, E. coast of Sumatra, 
3 June 1907 (0. John), the type $ in Mus. Senckenberg. It will probably prove a good race, nearly parallel 
to subtepens except in leg-structure. I believe I have seen the same form from Perak, but I passed it over 
as an extreme ab. subopalina of cristata. 
To p. 46, Actenochroma: 
A. pullicosta Prout. Smaller than muscicoloraria and distinguishable at a glance by having a broad 
blackish-fuscous costal streak on the forewing; only towards the base (for a distance of perhaps 4 mm) this 
divides into a costal line and an ill-defined subcostal one. Kulambugan, Lanao Plains, Mindanao, only the type 
9 known. 
To p. 47, Epipristis: 
E. truncataria Walk. Following Swinhoe, I have previously sunk this to minimaria Gnen. It was 
founded on a very worn A from Sarawak, which seems to have the 3rd joint of the palpus slightly longer than 
in minimaria and, in spite of its condition, shows indications of the following characters, whereby I distinguish 
it from that species: more green-tinted ground-colour, with cloudings more reddish, present at base of hind¬ 
wing (bounded by indications of a subbasal line), obsolescent in middle of subterminal region of hindwing, 
subterminal line brown rather than black, cell-mark of hindwing ill-developed, dark borders beneath not very 
strong. I therefore unhesitatingly refer to truncataria a very small Epipristis which possesses these characters 
and which I now know from Borneo, Selangor and Singapore. 
E. nelearia oxycyma Meyr. Variable in size (27—39 mm), the 9$ materially larger than the ES and 
with more strongly developed maculation between the postmedian and the subterminal. — ab. (?) australis 
Goldfinch is more decidedly green (perhaps only because in fresher condition), the postmedian line strongly 
blackish, on the forewing filling-in the bases of the vein-teeth so that they only appear as small dashes, the 
maculation outside it very complete in the 9- Founded on a pair from Toowoomba (E 32 mm, $ 39 mm). There 
seems no doubt that Goldfinch has misidentified as oxycyma the following species; unfortunately he gives 
no description of the latter, nor differential characters. 
E. oxyodonta sp. n. Smaller than nelearia (E 24—-28 mm, 9 26—33 mm), greyer, more noticeably irror- 
ated, on the underside with more strongly and uniformly dark borders, reaching from the postmedian line to 
the termen on the forewing and almost to the termen on the hindwing. Altogether more suggestive of a small 
dull minimaria (for which it seems to have been misindentified by Turner and Goldfinch, with oxycyma 
wrongly sunk to it) but with the postmedian line fine, acutely dentate. Cell-dot of forewing more concisely 
punctiform than in any other Epipristis. Port Darwin (fairly common), Cape York and perhaps Kuranda; 
type in my collection. 
To p. 48, P. nobilis: 
As synonym should be added ruginaria Goldfinch (nec Guen.) and to the range N. Queensland.
