dark scales, an indistinct oblique line extending from the centre of this band to the centre of the inner margin. 
Hindwing and under surface reddish-brown. Fringe whitish-grey, spatulate reddish-brown at the tornus. 
Expanse of wings: 18 mm. New Guinea, in December. 3 type from Fak-Fak (British Museum). — The forewing 
exhibits a dent of scales in the centre of the margin, so that the species may be separated as a special genus 
later on. A $ belonging to it from Mt. Goliath has whitish-grey forewings, with hardly any traces of markings, 
and 1 A from Mambare with a brownish ochreous ground-colour of the forewings (Tring Museum). 
N. doenia Mr. (86 c). Forewing varying from ochre to brown, with 2 light oblique lines extending docnia. 
from the inner margin and enclosing a frequently darker band which is almost semicircularly bent to the 
tornus and contains a silvery white, black-dusted longitudinal spot inside at the bend. Apex with a dark 
spot. Expanse 20—22 mm. April—May, July and September, October. — The larva of the type of the lohor- 
larva, but smaller and light green, lives on Erythrina. Cocoon globular. India, Ceylon, Sumatra, Java, 
South China. 
N. pectinata sp. n. (86 c). 3 with antennae shortly pectinated to the ends, but otherwise entirely pectinata. 
corresponding with the genus. The species almost exactly resembles N. concinna (86 b), the whitish postmedian 
line is more curved in the anterior part, projecting farther towards the tornus below, with more oblique 
brown inner-marginal streaks. Expanse of wings: 24—26 mm. New Guinea, February—March. 3 , $ types 
from the Arfak Mts. (Tring Museum). 
8. Genus: Arbelarosa gen. nov. 
Palpi short, slightly rising, not reaching to vertex. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Antenna pec¬ 
tinated basally in the 3 , gradually decreasing towards the centre, terminal half quite bare as in the §. Vein 11 
of forewing somewhat less bent to 12, 10 remote from the stalked 7—9, 6 and 7 of hindwing arise distantly 
separated, 8 connected with the cell before its centre by a cross-vein. The habitus of the imago recalls that 
of Arbelidae. — Generotype: A. rufotessellata Mr. 
A. rufotessellata Mr. (86 c). Forewing ochreous, with red transverse bands more or less broken up into rufo- 
spots, a thick brownish-red spot at the cell-end. Hindwing and under surface red. Expanse of wings: 25—35 mm. ie ‘ 
India, Tse-kou, Kwangtung. 
A. mediodorsata sp. n. (86 cl) is separated from the preceding species by its more irregular colouring; medio- 
a remarkably lighter spot in the centre of the inner margin is bordered by two dark, light-edged stripes and ^ 01 
extends to the cell. Two dark, light-edged marginal spots at the tornus. Ground-colour of forewing otherwise 
more pinkish-grey, 3 almost red-brown, with less light transverse marking, hindwing blackish, red at the inner 
margin. Under surface black, partly tinged red (^), or quite red ($). Expanse of wings: 25—30 mm. Borneo. 
3 type from the Kina-Balu, $ type from Banguey, in the Berlin State Museum. 
9. Genus: Squ»anosala B.-Bak. 
Palpi upcurved, extending to vertex, antenna pectinated to apex. Hindtibiae with 2 pair of spurs. 
Veins 7—9 of forewing stalked, 10 separated from them, 11 bent towards 12. 6+7 of hindwing stalked, 7 
(recte 8) connected with cell by cross-vein. 
S. nigrostigmata B.-Bak. (86 c). Body reddish-brown, with a dark dorsal streak. Forewing reddish nigro- 
ochreous, the basal two thirds covered with darker coarse reddish scales, partly finely dusted with black. A stigmata. 
black stigma filled with reddish, below the costal margin beyond the cell; an irregular blackish line extends 
from this stigma to the inner margin. Hindwing pale reddish ochreous. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Dinawa, 
in August. 
10. Genus: JSTarosoicleus Mats. 
3 antenna pectinated to the end, palpus porrect, not projecting beyond the frontal tuft. Hind tibiae 
only with terminal spurs. Veins 7—9 of forewing stalked, 10 remote from them, 11 bent very near to 12. 
6 + 7 of hindwing stalked or from the same place, 8 connected by cross-vein with the anterior edge of the cell 
before the centre of the cell. The habitually similar species of Miresa show the antenna only pectinated in 
the basal half, 11 not bent so near to 12. To this place belongs also the palaearctic Miresa flavidorsalis Stgr. 
N. vulpinus Wil. (= formosanus Mats.) (86 d). Body golden yellow, head and under surface rust- vulpinus. 
brown. Forewing brownish-yellow, darker brownish in and beyond the cell; lighter (more yellowish) is in f. 
aurisoma an area at the inner margin and beyond the subterminal line. Median line brown, only from the 
posterior edge of the cell to the inner margin, subterminal line blackish, incurved above the inner margin, 
broadly bordered towards the base with silvery grey, the same also a marginal stripe. Hind wing varying from
