GARUDINODES; PSEUDOBLABES. By Dr. M. DrattdT. 
excisa. G. excisa Rothsch. Head, antennae and thorax light purple-red; abdomen pale wood-brown, anal 
tuft yellow. Forewing in and behind the middle of the costa deeply excised, light purple; a large discal spot, 
at the proximal margin very broad, at the median the narrowest, is dark olive-yellow; in the costal excision 
there is an oblong, yellow spot. Hindwings yellowish greyish-brown. Length of forewings: 9 mm. Oetakwa 
River, Dutch New Guinea. 
irijasciata. G. trifasciata Rothsch. Antennae brown; head and thorax golden-yellow; apex of shoulder-covers 
and metathorax purple chestnut-red; abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing golden yellow with 3 oblique purple 
bands with an intense blue reflection. Hindwings diaphanous yellowish-reddish. Length of forewings: 8 1 /, mm. 
Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains in Dutch New Guinea. 
95. Genus: GiariMlfiiortes B.-Bak. 
Palpi very small, proboscis developed; + antennae doubly combed with long and short, very fine ciliae; 
middle tibiae with 1 pair of spurs, posterior tibiae with 2 pair of thick spurs. Forewing at the costa very convex, 
margin uniformly curved; 1st median and 3rd radial rise from the same place at the lower cell-angle, the middle 
radial vein is absent, the 3rd subcostal to the 1st radial petroled; 1st subcostal vein absent. On the hindwing 
the 1st median rises with the 3rd radial, and the subcostal with the 1st radial on a long petiole. All the species 
of this genus have become known only of late. Mostly only the types are known : they are in English Collections 
and at present not available for being figured; they all originate from New Guinea. 
hicolorana. G. bicolorana B.-Bak. has a white head, chocolate-brown thorax with white patagia, and greyish- 
brown abdomen. Forewing white with a pale chocolate-brown antemedian band; the postmedian area as far 
as the margin is of the same colour; at the margin a white apical spot; fringes white. Hindwings monotonously 
light brownish. 20 mm. Ekeikei (New Guinea), taken in March and April. 
trizona. G. trizona Hmps. Head white, palpi and antennae red-brown, thorax and abdomen red-brown, the 
ends of the shoulder-covers whitish. Forewings white with 3 broad, oblique, chocolate-brown antemedian 
median and marginal bands; the median band widens towards the costa and proximal margin, the distal one 
exhibits at the apex a small, white spot. Hindwings chocolate-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Dutch New 
Guinea. 
affinis. G. affinis Rothsch. + antennae yellowish-brown; head snow-white; thorax reddish chocolate-brown, 
the larger terminal half of the shoulder-covers, and a spot on the mesothorax, snow-white. Abdomen yellowish- 
brown. Forewing chocolate-brown with the usual, large, rough-haired spot in the basal half; apex and distal 
margin, as well as 2 spots at the costal margin snow-white. Hindwings yellowish cinnamon-brown; proximal 
margin brown, in the middle with a white spot, fringes at the proximal angle white. The $ is without the rough- 
haired spot, the whole body is brown; the forewing is reddish chocolate-brown, a basal, median and postmedian 
transverse band, the apex and the upper two thirds of the distal margin are white. Hindwings chestnut-brownish. 
Length of forewings: + 10 1 / 2 mm, $ 9 mm. Collingwood Bay (British New Guinea). 
castaneus. G. castaiieus Rothsch. Antennae, head and thorax chestnut-brown, abdomen somewhat lighter. 
Forewing deep chestnut-brown with a large, rough-haired spot; a median stripe in the costal area and a pad- 
like, rough-haired spot in the apex are dirty white. Hindwings light brown, at the proximal margin darker. 
Length of forewings: 10 mm. Collingwood Bay, British New Guinea. 
re?urviloba. G. recurviloba Rothsch. is well distinguished by the basal half of the costal margin being expanded 
into an enormous lobe, which is inverted and covers the whole basal half of the forewing as far as the inner- 
marginal vein, its colour being a satiny chocolate-brown. Antennae brown, head, collar, and anterior half 
of thorax canary-yellow, posterior half and shoulder-covers chocolate-brown; abdomen yellowish-grey. The 
forewing is in the basal two thirds greyish-yellowish-white, with a yellow proximal margin, the distal third 
is chocolate-brown with 2 irregular, yellow spots. Hindwings diaphanous yellowish-grey, distally brownish. The 
$ is much smaller and without the costal lobe; forewings metallic golden yellow with red-brown spots at the 
base, in the middle and at the apex; the middle spot only extends to the median fold. Length of forewings: 
B 12 mm (Lobe: 6 + 3 mm), $ 9 mm. Biagi on the Mambare River in British New Guinea. (February). 
96. Genus: PseutloMabes Zell. 
Proboscis strong; the porrect palpi do not project beyond the forehead; male antennae ciliated, tibiae 
with moderately long spurs. The short and broad forewing has a curved costal margin and rounded apex. The 
middle radial vein is absent, the upper one comes from below the upper cell-angle; the 3rd subcostal vein is 
absent, the other subcostal veins are petioled except the uppermost. On the hindwing the 1st median anastomoses 
with the 3rd radial; 1st radial and subcostal rise on a joint footstalk. The + hindwing is deeply excised below 
the apex and shows an elliptic scent-scale spot below the costal margin on the upper surface.
