B. latiplaga Rothsch. Head, antennae, thorax and abdomen are black. Forewings black; a large, laiiplaga. 
orange spot occupies the whole basal half of the wing except the base and costal margin; in the distal half 
there is a large, wedge-shaped, orange-red spot with the apex at the proximal angle. Hindwing orange with a 
broad, sooty-black border and a blackish-brown proximal margin. In the <$ the orange spot is much smaller 
and the distal margin of the hindwing is deeply excised between the proximal angle and the upper median vein. 
— Specimens with a still more reduced orange-yellow and a very much darkened red cuneiform spot were deno¬ 
minated ab. reducta by Rothschild. Length of forewings: <$ 12 mm, $ 14 mm. -— Oetakwa River, Snow Moun- reducta. 
tains in Dutch New Guinea and from Biagi, British New Guinea. — subsp. pallidior Rothsch., from the Arf’ak pallidior. 
Mountains (Ninay Valley) in Dutch New Guinea, differs by its lighter yellow, not orange colour, and by the 
Isabel-coloured costal margin of the hinclwing. 
B. atrsoena Rothsch. Body black, beneath lustrous blue; the distal two thirds of the antennae and amoena. 
the tarsal joints are yellowish; head, pro- and mesonotum deep chrome-yellow; anal tuft beneath dirty Isabel- 
coloured. Wings above deep chrome-yellow; on the forewing the yellow area is extended to beyond the cell-end 
(base and costal margin are not black); the lustrous bluish-black marginal area encircles an oblong, pear-shaped, 
orange-red spot not reaching the proximal margin. The hindwing has a narrow, slate-black border, of the same 
colour is the proximal margin. Length of forewings: 9 to 11 mm. Isabel (Salomons), taken in June and July. 
76. Genus: &tenoscapfia Hmps. 
Differs from the preceding genus by straightly porrect palpi. On the long, narrow forewing the middle 
radial vein is absent, the lower radial and 1st median rise separately; the three lower subcostal veins are petioled, 
the two upper ones rise separately from the. cell. On the hindwing the 1st median vein anastomoses with the 
3rd radial, and the subcostal with the 1st radial. In the the costal margin of the hindwing is very convex, and 
near the rise of the costal there is a scent-scale spot. For a long time only one species was known: in 1904 
another species not lying before us was described: phlogozona Trnr., from Australia. phioyozona. 
S. venusta Lucas (16 d) has orange-yellow wings; the base, a postmedian transverse band, and the venusta. 
marginal part enclosing a yellow spot are black. Hindwing orange with a black marginal band. Head, collar 
and shoulders orange, thorax and abdomen black, anal tuft yellow. Queensland. 
77. Genus: Ciarucliiiistfs Hmps. 
Proboscis well developed; palpi erect, slender, not reaching as far as the vertex; male antennae ciliated; 
spurs rather long. On the narrow forewing the cell is very narrow, the submedian fold shows a tuft of very 
long hair. The 1st median and 3rd radial rise on a long footstalk; the middle radial vein is absent with the 
transverse vein, the upper radial rises with the lower from the same place. On the hindwing the 1st median 
and 3rd radial are petioled; subcostal and 1st radial are not petioled. 
G. eburneana WTcr. (26 a) has yellowish-white forewings; the base, an oblicpie median band somewhat cbirrneana. 
expanded below the cell, and an antemarginal spot are pimple-brown. Hindwings yellowish-white. Borneo. 
G. aroa B.-Bok. (18 k). Head lemon-coloured; shoulder-covers and metathorax chestnut-brown; aroa. 
abdomen yellowish-brown. Forewing lemon-coloured with a chestnut-brown spot, with a darker border, at 
the base and a large, similar postmedian spot occupying almost a third of the wing. Hindwing straw-coloured 
with a darker border. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. From the Aroa River. 
78. Genus: Blabioides Hmps. 
The porrect palpi do not extend beyond the forehead; proboscis well developed; male antennae finely 
serrated and tuftily ciliated; the $ is distinguished besides by a short, thick, hairy scent-scale spot at the upper 
cell-end and a tuft of longer hair on the under surface at the median; the veins like in the preceding genus, 
but the transverse vein well developed and the first radial from below the upper cell-angle. The hindwing exhibits 
a deep excision below the apex and a scent-scale spot in the middle of the costa; the middle radial is present. 
B. snelleni Rits. (16 cl) has dark brown forewings with an orange median band. Hindwings semi-dia- snelleni. 
phanous orange, at the margin purple-brown. Java.
