D. punctata limps. The brown forewing shows a faint blue reflection towards the base; the base, 
antemedian spots in and below the cell, median spots at the costal and proximal margins, a small spot at the 
cell-end, and behind it a spot at the costal margin connected with a postmedian transverse line, are orange; 
on the hindwing the basal half of the costal margin and the inner-angular border are orange. New Guinea 
(Milne Bay). 
82. Genus: Teratopora Meyer. 
Distinguished by a very uncommon venation, the forewings apparently having 2 discocellulars. The 
inner-marginal vein despatches in its middle a branch upward, extending to the margin and in its turn sending 
from its middle a transverse vein to the other median vein, so that below the real discocellular there is another 
entirely closed cell; the 1st median and 3rd radial are petioled, so are the 5th subcostal vein and the 1st radial, 
whereas the 3rd and 4th subcostal veins are absent. The 2nd is on a short footstalk with the 1st median and 
the 3rd radial, the 1st subcostal vein comes freely from the cell. The broad hinclwing is faintly excised below 
the apex, so that an obtuse corner is created on the upper median vein. The 1st median vein and the 3rd radial 
are petioled, the 2nd radial is absent, the subcostal anastomoses with the 1st radial. Proboscis well developed, 
the short palpi stretched forward; male antennae with bristles and ciliated; the abdomen is above roughly 
haired. Hitherto 2 forms are known, not lying before us. 
T. irregularis Hmps. is dull straw-coloured, the abdomen above with brownish-black hair. The forewing 
exhibits an indistinct, oblique, faded band from the lower cell-angle to the proximal margin; the marginal area 
is faintly dusted with brownish. Hindwings of a purer yellow. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Queensland, Victoria. 
T. haplodes Meyr. is yellowish-brown, the abdomen at the base grey. The forewing exhibits an 
indistinct, blackish-brown postmedian line from the upper cell-angle to the proximal margin, flawed inwards 
below the cell. Hindwings white, with a yellowish tint towards the margin. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. New 
Guinea (Port Moresby). 
83. Genus: Vospitis Wkr. 
The only, small species is very well distinguished by the very convex costa with rough-haired fringes 
on the forewing. Proboscis well developed; the short palpi are erect, the male antennae ciliated, tibiae with 
long spurs. On the forewing the 1st median and 3rd radial come from the lower cell-angle, the upper radial 
vein from below the upper angle. On the hindwing the 1st median anastomoses with the third radial, the sub¬ 
costal is petioled with the 1st radial. 
T. nulliferana Wkr. Body yellowish-white; forewing pale brown; base, costal margin and distal margin 
pale yellow; the costal base is orange, as well as an oblique short line from the costal margin to the subcosta; 
in the middle of the costal margin and at the cell-end one spot each. Hindwings brownish with pale yellow 
fringes. Expanse of wings: 12 mm. Borneo (Sarawak). 
» 84. Genus: Pacliycerosla Hmps. 
Separated from the preceding genus by longer palpi and serrate male antennae; the costal margin is 
without the fringes. On the forewing the 1st median and 3rd radial rise separately, on the hindwing petioled. 
like the subcostal and 1st radial; the middle radial vein is absent. 
P. bipuncta Hmps. is a small', greyish-brown animal with small dark dots near the base, in the middle 
of the cell and at the transverse vein. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. From the Andamans. 
85. Genus: Omiosia Hmps. 
Similar to the preceding, but the proximal margin is lobularly expanded. On the forewing the two 
lower radial veins are petioled, also the two lowest subcostal veins; the 3rd is absent; the 1st subcostal anasto¬ 
moses with the costal. Hindwings like in the preceding; the $ shows a scent-scale spot in and behind the cell. 
0. fuscipennana Wkr. (16 b) is light ochreous-yellow with a large, elliptical, blackish-brown spot 
in the discal area. Borneo (Sarawak).
