Ch. castaneipars Mr. (90 d). Both sexes similar to the $ of albiguttata (90a), separated by the following: caslanei- 
the black dot at the cell-end is absent, instead of it there is one at % of the costal margin, the velvety brown r>ar “ 
spot extends into the cell and is bordered by a silvery yellowish spot outside instead of inside, bordered by 
a more violet colour inside, intensely dusted blackish above the cell and beneath 1 a near the base. Expanse 
of wings: 30—40 mm. Larva chalky white, with a brown head; on Spondias and Trevesia. Imago in February. 
India, Java. 
26. Genus: I'ygmaeoiiiorplia B.-Bak. 
Antenna of pectinated in the basal third or two thirds, then suddenly bare. Palpus moderately 
long, somewhat clubbed towards the end, not projecting beyond the frontal tuft. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of 
spurs. 7 of forewing together with 8 -f 9 from the same place or stalked, 10 arises from this stalk (by which 
the genus is especially characterized) only after 7. 11 bent very near towards 12. 6 -j- 7 of hindwing stalked, 
8 anastomosing near the base with the anterior edge of the cell. Allied to Birthama from which it cannot be 
separated undoubtfully. 
1. Group. Sexually dimorphous species with a white cross-vein dot, distal 
m a r g i n of f o r e w i n g almost s t r a i g h t. 
P. modesta B.-Bak. (= dochmographa Trnr., leucosticta Trnr.) (85 h). variable, reddish-grey, with modcsta. 
a double blackish basal dot, an oblique bent median line touching the silvery dot at the lower cell-end, and 
a straight or bent submarginal line which is distant from the margin by more than its width. Apex with a 
distinctly prominent brown spot. Hindwing varying from reddish-brown to greyish-brown, submarginal line 
divided into two parts by white veins. Expanse of wings: 23—28 mm. North Australia, New Guinea, December 
till May. 
P. rotundata sp. n. (85 i) is very similar to modesta, with a more rounded apex, forewing shorter and rotundala. 
broader, submarginal line nearer to the margin, thicker, separated from the margin by less than its width, 
median line also broader, more copper-red, cellular spot pale golden, without the dark apical spot. Hindwing 
blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 19 mm. New Guinea. $ type from Mt. Goliath, in February (Tring Museum). 
P. aenea sp. n. (85 i). Similar to modesta in the contours of the wings, ground-colour of forewing reddish aenea. 
coppery, submarginal line almost straight, strongly convergent with the margin towards the tornus, termin¬ 
ating into it a little above the tornus, fadedly widened on the inside, apical spot very dark, distinctly defined. 
Hindwing blackish. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. New Guinea. $ type from Biagi, Mambare, in March (Tring 
Museum). 
2. Group. Scarcely sexually dimorphous species, distal margin of 3 fore- 
wing very convex, forewing without a white central dot. 
P. flavula sp. n. (85 i). Body and forewing yellowish ochreous, forewing very scantily dusted with flavnla. 
brownish, with an irregular dark line from the centre of the costal margin to % of the inner margin, where 
it is thickened into a blackish spot, less distinct at the costal margin. An indistinct brownish submarginal 
line from the costal margin before the apex, projecting towards the margin at then to the tornus above 
the margin. Hindwing pale yellow like the under surface. Expanse of wings: 15 mm. Salomons. <$ type from 
Rendova (Tring Museum). 
P. brunnea B.-Bak. (85 i). Forewing brownish, the ochreous ground-colour more or less prominent brunnea. 
in the postmedian area. A mostly indistinct straight transverse line hear the base, a notched median line ex¬ 
tending through the cell-end, and a curved subterminal line characteristically broken at vein 5 are blackish, 
the marginal area behind it darkened. A more or less distinct blackish spot at the origin of veins 2—5 in the $. 
Hindwing brownish-red. Expanse of wings: 20—28 mm. New Guinea and in the islands in front of it, common 
from December to April. 
P. crassilinea sp. n. (85 i). Similar to brunnea , chiefly separated by the course of the median line of crassilinea. 
the forewing, this line very thick at the costal margin and obliquely directed distally, then only notched to 
the inner margin; subterminal line nearer to the margin, base little darker, for which reason the ground-colour 
is chiefly lustrous ochreous brown. Hindwing reddish ochreous brown, paler yellowish towards the inner 
margin. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. New Guinea, above 2000 m, November till February. $ type from the 
Angabunga R. (Tring-Museum). 
P. nigrisignum sp. n. (85 i). Similar to brunnea , immediately discernible by the marginal area not nigri- 
being darkened. Median line, as in crassilinea, strongly thickened and straight in the beginning, though some- signum 
what less oblique, straightly continued as a shadow almost to the tornus; the notched portion distally bordered 
by a somewhat silvery brownish colour, finely projecting blackish inside on the veins. The basal two thirds 
mostly intensely suffused with violettish-brown. Hindwing brownish ochreons. Expanse of wings: 20mm. New 
Guinea, Snow Mts., in September. type from the Upper Setekwa R. (Berlin State Museum, Tring Museum).
