traceable. The apical band is quite shadowy, grey, very broad, similarly shaped as in intimalis. The grey median 
band on the hindwing is more distinct than in intimalis. 17—20 mm. New Guinea and in the islands surrounding it. 
M. privata Warr. is hardly the size of intimalis. Marking also the same, but all somewhat darker, privata. 
Both wings with a black streak or ring at the cross-vein. Amboina. Banda. 
M. uniformis Warr. is somewhat larger. Ground-colour greyish ochre, the usual bands scarcely recog- uniformis. 
nisable. Two grey triangles at the costal margin, one before the middle, the other larger one at % of the costal 
margin. A similar spot before the middle of the distal margin. Traces of a median and distal band on the 
hindwing. Both wings with a black cellular spot. Salomons. 
23. Genus: I*lesioclesma Warr. 
Forewing triangular, costal margin straight, slightly concave behind the middle and rounded before 
the apex, distal margin curved. Vein 2 arises far ba,sad, 4 + 5 on a long stalk, 6 from the cell-angle which 
is pressed downward; 7 -f 8 on a long stalk, on a short stalk with 9. Hindwing rounded, veins 4 -)- 5 stalked, 
7 arises before the cell-end. Antennae of strongly serrated and tufted, palpi short. 
PI. infans Warr. Forewing dark brown with fine ring-shaped brownish ochreous reticulate lines forming infans. 
indistinct interior, exterior and submarginal bands: fringe with an ochreous base. Hindwing similar. V 15 mm. 
New Guinea. 
24. Genus: Pyenopera Warr. 
> 
Forewing elongate, costal margin straight, apex rectangular, distal margin very oblique below the 
centre. All the veins separate. Hindwing rounded. The inner margin with a fold, very thick, with long hair 
and broad shining scales, as in a fish. Antennae of £ plain, palpi thick and short. 
P. crassisquama Warr. Forewing rusty brown with darker reticulate lines and dark marking. The crassis- 
latter consists of a spot at the base, a band close behind it, another postmedian band distally angled in the quama. 
middle of the wing, and a submarginal band which is thickened in the centre of the wing and somewhat ramified. 
A hyaline spot between veins 3 and 4 on the inside of the median band. Hindwing darker brown, a faded 
blackish spot at the cell-end. <$ 25 mm. North Borneo. 
25. Genus: Symphleps Warr. 
Separated from all the other genera by the neuration. Veins 8 + 9 + 10 of forewing stalked. Type: 
ochracea Pagst. 
S. ochracea Pagst. (= atomosalis Warr.) Forewing reddish ochreous with darker red reticulate lines, ochracea. 
Costal margin with 10—12 snow-white dots. Central spot silvery white. Fringe finely dotted black. Hindwing 
similar, central dot double. $ 24 mm. Aru, Key Is. — pallida Warr. is pale straw-coloured, dark brown only pallida. 
at the costal margin and base, with somewhat darker reticulate lines. Cellular spot small, dark brown. Hindwing 
similar. $ 25 mm. Buru, Kapaur (New Guinea). 
S. perfusa Warr. (93 f). Both wings reddish-yellow, the reticulate lines slightly darker and distinct perfusa. 
only in the lower half of the forewing. The lines on the hindwing are thicker and partly double. No cellular 
dots nor marginal dots. Only the hindwing exhibits 8 white dots at the costal margin, 3 behind the middle 
and 5 before the middle. $17 mm. Celebes.
