Type of genus: L. liparina sp. n. 
L. liparina sp. n. (85 h). Forewing dark yolk-coloured, the whole median area broad red-brown, its 
edges somewhat dentate, a conspicuous round dark brown marginal spot between veins 4 and 5, continued 
on to the fringe. Hindwing pale golden yellow like the under surface, forewing beneath with a dark anterior 
half and the marginal spot of the upper surface. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. 2 3+ from Mt. Goliath, New Guinea 
(in the Tring Museum, in January). The species recalls certain Lymantriidae. 
The following species — £ unknown —■ is provisionally placed here. 
L. mediopunctata sp. n. (85 h). §: antennae with short bristly serrate dentations, 7 and 10 of forewing 
arise from the same basis with the stalk of 8 —|- 9, 11 bent very near to 12, discocellular vein plain. Discocellular 
vein of hindwing forked, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 anastomoses near the base with the anterior edge of the 
cell, anterior angle of cell slightly projecting. Dark reddish rusty brown, forewing with a series of indistinct 
brown dots, which are yellowish ochreous distally, extending vertically from the inner margin to the base 
of 2, then distally bent over the cross-vein. An indistinct dark undulate subterminal line from the costal margin 
before the apex to the tornus. Hindwing quite pale reddish. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Fidji. $ t-.vpe in the 
Vienna Hofmuseum. 
23. Genus: Iragsi Mats. 
Antennae of 3 serrate-ciliatecl, palpi porrect, projecting somewhat beyond the frontal tuft, somewhat 
clubby towards the end. Veins 7—9 of forewing stalked, 10 together with them from the same basis or stalked, 
11 nearer to 12, bent towards it or straight. 6 + 7 of hindwing on a short stalk, 8 connected near the base 
with the cell by a cross-vein. Fore wing groovily scaled, as if it were roughened. 
I. rugosa Wil. (86 g). Forewing dark violettish-grey, an inconspicuous rusty brown spot above the base 
of vein 2, another one in the middle of 1 a, and a larger one at the tornus. Hindwing and under surface blackish, 
body with a reddish-yellowish dorsal line. $ unknown. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Formosa, South China, in 
July till September. 
24. Genus: 4 1bJ i 1 cocelis limps. (Chalcoscelis Trnr.) 
Palpi moderately long, appressed upcurved. Basal half of antenna long pectinated, terminal half 
bare, quite bare in the + Posterior tibia with 2 pair of spurs. 7—9 of forewing stalked, 10 together with them 
from the same base, 11 bent very near to 12. 6 + 7 of hindwing stalked, 8 anastomosing with the cell-margin 
near the base. A genus with a marked sexual dimorphism. 
Ch. albiguttata Sn. ( — fumifera Swh., nigriplaga Heyl., sanguineomaculata Heyl., pulchrimacula Holst., 
hemistaura Low. , nephrochrysa Low. ) (3 86 g, $ 90 a). Wings pointed, margin slightly bent. Forewing blackish- 
brown, with an indistinct light submarginal line. The species is characterized by a brownish-black trapezoid 
spot between the centre of 1 a and 1 b, bordered with brownish-red inside, with a white dot. Hindwing brownish- 
black. $ whitish-yellow, with an indistinct submarginal line, with blackish patches and dots at the base, in 
the centre of the cell and the most distinctly so at the cell-end. A large light velvety brown spot below the 
cell almost reaches the inner margin, with a silvery streak or spot on its inside. — Expanse of wings: 25—30 mm. 
Larva on coffee and Erythrina. Very widely distributed, from India across the Malay-Papuan district to 
Australia. 
C. castanica Trnr. 3 : body reddish-brown like forewing which shows a dark red-brown irregular 
punctiform spot on % of the inner margin which bears a white dot on its anterior upper angle; a blackish dot 
beyond the centre at the cell-end. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. North Australia, 
in September. $ unknown. 
Cli. rubra B.-Bak. 3 : body pinkish brown, abdomen somewhat paler. Forewing pinkish-brown, with 
a large dark velvety brown spot occupying the median and postmedian areas as far as the tornus, a similar 
more strigiform spot at the cell-end, both separated by a broader spot of the light ground-colour. Hindwing 
pinkish brown. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. New Guinea, in June. 
25. Genus: Oialeoscelides gen. nov. 
Near to the preceding genus, without a sexual dimorphism. Antenna of <3 uniformly pectinated to 
the end, vein 8 of hindwing connected with the anterior edge of the cell by a cross-vein near the base. 
Type of genus: Ch. castaneipars Mr.
