C. xantholopha Hmps. (18 li). White, quite minutely marked yellowish-grey. Hindwing very small xanlholo- 
compared with the very broad forewing. Cell quite differently shaped from crassicornis, stunted, and the lower r>,ia 
angle produced. At the costal margin of the forewing a fine hair-comb, at the distal margin long hair-fringes, 
and at the proximal margin a beard. The figure is produced according to the type in the British Museum, of 
course delicate forms are not delineated here. From Pnlo Laut. 
C. fasciolata Eothsch. In the $ the antennae, head and thorax are creamy-white; abdomen dull fasciolata. 
white. Forewings dirty creamy-white; an antemedian oblique band, 2 crossed, irregular median bands, a broad 
postmedian oblique band from the costa to the anal angle and a series of small marginal spots are brick-yellow; 
in the middle a brown stigma. Hindwings milky white. Length of forewings: 10,5 mm. Curnusi River, British 
New Guinea, in July. — subsp. punctistriata Rothsch. from the Oetakwa River (Snow Mountains) differs from pundisiria 
the typical form by the purely white forewings and the antemedian and postcliscal bands being dissolved into 
spots. The $ is semidiaphanous white, and the median band of the forewing is entirely absent, the postcliscal 
band is parted, so that a subterminal band is separated from it. 
19. Genus: Sclifstophleps Hmps. 
The 10 species of this genus have very broad forewings, in which the costal runs rather far away from 
the costal margin, so that the impending costa-stripe has to be supported by transverse veins extending from 
the costal to the costal margin. Otherwise the 2nd subcostal vein is petioled with the 3rd and the 4th with 
the 5th, the 1st being absent. The two radiajs and the 3 median veins run parallel. Cell long, napiform. India 
and Australia. 
S. obducta Luc. (13 k) is the darkest species. Forewdngs greyish-brown, the basal area secluded obduda. 
by an ochreous-yellow dentate band; before the margin a yellow dentate band, in front of it a white one; hind- 
wdngs somewhat transparent greyish-brown. Queensland. 
S. fulvia Hmps. (18 h). Forewdngs ochreous yellowish-grey and with diaphanous dull white bands, fulvia. 
Hindwdngs whitish, in the basal part ochreous. Sunda Islands. 
S. bipuncta Hmps. (18 h). Ground-colour dull, somewhat diaphanous white, with scanty grey trans- bipunda. 
verse bands of the forewings, before and behind the middle; between them a dark discal dot. India and Ceylon 
as far as Burma. 
S. albida Wkr. (13 k). Almost entirely white, only very faint ochreous-yellow traces of the antemedian albida. 
and postmedian bands of the forewdngs. Eastern Australia. 
S. costimacula Rothsch. antennae light brownish-yellow, head and thorax milky-white; abdomen costimacula 
greyish-white. Forewdngs milky-white, an antemedian, postmedian and broad median spot at the costa greyish- 
brown, at the distal and proximal margins some very fine, small dusty spots. Hindwings white. The $ is larger, 
and its fore- and hindwings are huecl dirty yellow. Length of forewdngs: <$ 12, $ 14 mm. Mambara River, 
British New r Guinea, 5000 ft., in March. 
S. noloides Rothsch. In both sexes the head, antennae and thorax are light brick-grey; abdomen noloidcs. 
greyish-white. Forewings creamy white; in the basal half a brown oblique band from the costa to the median 
fold and a brown spot in the costal area, the distal half covered with confluent, dark brownish-grey spots almost 
covering the ground-colour. Leugth of forewdngs: 11.5 mm. Mambara River, British New Guinea, 5000 ft., 
in March. 
S. aroa B.-Bak. (13 g) has greyish-white forewings with 2 dark dentate lines and a black dot at aroa. 
the cell-end; the marginal area is dusted with grey towards the apex. — From the Aroa River, taken in 
April. 
S. hyalina B.-Bak. head and thorax quite light straw-coloured; abdomen whitish. Forewings hyalina. 
uniformly diaphanous faded straw-coloured, with minute traces of a greyish postmedian line; 20 mm. Owgarra. 
S. punctata Semp. Dull bone-colourecl; the forewing slightly tinged ochreous. From the costa through pundata. 
the upper costal part of the forewing extend small, faded nebulous bands, and similar nebulous diffuse spots 
are in the middle of the distal margin and above the proximal angle; hindwings whitish. Philippines. 
S. bicolora B.-Bak. shows 3 large, greyish-brown costal spots on the whitish forewdngs, the most proxi- bicolora. 
mal one of which is connected with a similar spot in the middle of the proximal margin. Marginal area dusted 
dark. — Aroa River, March. 
20. Genus : Castislo Wkr. 
Hereto belong the most beautiful Lithosia; they are variegated animals with very bright markings 
and mostly transverse bands; they partly fly also in day-time, but I found also single specimens in day-time 
hidden in clefts of rocks. The hindwings are often Catocala- like, orange or bright yellow, with black margins.
