inwards, the second from before the centre, the third equally far away, somewhat broader, the fourth parallel 
to the distal margin as far as the centre of the wing. Hindwing with 3 pale brown bands from the costal margin 
and 2 submarginal lines which are united in a large spot at the anal end. Marginal spots as in puellaria. 
Expanse of wings: 38—44 mm. Waigeu, Bismarck Archipelago, Fergusson Is. 
Sf. angulilinea Warr. Forewing without the two interior lines. Hindwing with but 2 lines. Both angled 
and dentate in the middle. Some brown streaks before the distal margin, black marginal dots. Expanse: 
36—40 mm. Dili-Timor, Wetter. 
St. quadripunctata Warr. (72 g). Costal margin of forewdng with fine black dots, a large apical spot. 
Hindwing with a small spot in the little tail and a fine dot analward. Beneath all white. Expanse: 28—32 mm. 
New Guinea, Fergusson Is. 
St. nigroapicata Pag. (= bipunctata Warr. 2, combinata Warr. <$) (72 g). The $ of this species by its 
marking frequently forms a transition to the genus Acropteris. White with pale brown bands. On the forewing 
from y 3 of the inner margin and behind the middle convergent to the apex, not reaching the latter. On the 
hindwdng a basal, median and exterior band. In a from Waigeu only the last of these bands is present in the 
hindwing. On the forewdng a black apical spot, a small one below it. and one at the anal angle. — In apici- 
puncta Warr. the latter spot is absent, and at the apex the 2 small ones are united, forming a large one w r hich 
is also present beneath. In all the before me the brown bands are absent. In the forewdng vein 2 -j- 3 on 
a longer stalk than usual, in the hindwing also 3 y 4 and 6 + 7 slightly stalked. Expanse': 28—34 mm. New 
Guinea, Waigeu. Anteia acrosema Meyr. is probably the same species. 
6. Genus: Pseudomicrouia Mr. 
Palpi short, porrect. Antennae thickened, flattened. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Fore wing 
slightly bent at the costal margin, apex rounded, distal margin straight. Veins 2 and 3 arise from the same 
place. Veins 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 + 10 stalked. In the hindwdng veins 3 and 4 from the lower, 6 and 7 from the 
upper angle. Type: coelata Mr. 
Ps. coelata Mr. (= fraterna Mr.) (72 d). Similar to Strophidia fasciata. White. Costal margin of fore wing 
with fine black dots. Bands pale brown, parallel, bipartite, margin narrow blackish-brown; 2 black spots at 
the little tail of the hindwing. Expanse: 38—42 mm. India, Ceylon, Borneo, Ceram. 
J-' 
Ps. unimacula Warr. Similar to a small coelata. Recogmzable by the only large black spot at the little 
tail of the hindwing. Dili-Timor. 
Ps. sitnplicifascia Swh. Interior, median and exterior bands oblique, narrowly pale brown. Median 
band forked at the costal margin; 2 fine submarginal lines. The spot at the little tail is brown. Expanse: 
46 mm. Andamans. 
Ps. advocataria Wkr. (= opposita Sn.) (72 f). White with pale brown lines from the costal margin 
obliquely outward to the inner margin. Subbasal line very indistinct, the four next ones are inclined to double. 
Submarginal line plain. On the hindwdng the first line is absent, the second incomplete, the third and fourth 
broader. In the little tail an elongate spot and another one proximad to it. Borneo, Ceram, Flores, Amboina. 
— In trimaculata Warr. (72 f) the forewing lacks the subbasal line, the following 3 lines are forked. On the 
hindwing another third spot near the anal angle. Minahassa, Celebes. Expanse: 38 -40 mm. 
7. Genus: Jlicronia Gn. 
Palpi porrect, delicate, long. Antennae thickened, flattened. Hind tibiae of A with a hair-pencil, a 
middle spur, a terminal pair. Forewing bent at the costal margin, apex pointed, distal margin straight. Veins 
2 + 3 on a short stalk (£), or 3 and 4 from the same place (2), 6 and 7 from the same place, 8 + 9 + 10 stalked. 
Hindwing as in Pseudomicronia. Type: aculeata Gn. 
M. aculeata Gn. (= gannata Gn.) (72 f). This common species has already been dealt with in the 
palaearctic part, Vol. II, p. 276. It flies in the whole of South Asia: India, Philippines, Formosa. — f. sondaicata 
Gn. is somewhat more yellowish, otherwise hardly different. Sunda Is. 
M. obliterata Warr. Forewdng white with fine brown striae and 2 pale brown bands parallel to the 
distal margin. The first behind the centre, the second half way to the anal angle, no marginal line. On the 
hindwing the distal line is somewdiat dentate, more remote from the hirst, nearing it at the inner margin. Fringe 
brownish. The spots in the little tail small. Beneath white. Expanse: 45 mm. Larat. 
M. pluviosa Warr. (72 g). Similar tc a large aculeata Gn. White. Forewdng wdth dark grey transverse 
streaks and 3 smoke-grey bands, parallel to the distal margin, the two exterior ones somewhat forked at the
