220 HYPO SHAD A; LAMBULA. By Dr. M. Dkaudt. 
S. aroa B.-Bak. Head, thorax and abdomen light straw-coloured, the wing somewhat lighter yellow, 
the inner-marginal area is of a somewhat deeper colour, and an indistinct dark spot behind the cell. Expanse 
of wings: 23 mm. Aroa River. 
S. virginea B.-Bak. $ and $ snow-white, the $ fore wing slightly excised between the middle of the 
proximal margin and the anal angle, whilst the hindwing is tinted creamy yellow towards the margin; beneath 
on the $ hindwing an androconial spot, above it a creamy scent-pencil. New Guinea, at an altitude of 5000 ft., 
in April. 
143. Genus: Hyposhacla Hmps. 
This special genus was founded for the only species (described as Scoliacma). It deviates from the 
preceding by the subcostal and median veins being arranged much more closely together on the very narrow 
forewing; the lower median vein is connected with the submedian vein by a transverse vein, the upper median 
vein rises with the two lower radials from the cell-angle; the bases of the costal margin and of the proximal 
margin are beneath hairy. Hindwing uncommonly large with a long cell; the two median veins are fused in 
their course with the lower radial vein which proceeds with the middle one from the lower cell-angle; the sub¬ 
costal vein rises on a long footstalk with the 1st radial and is very much curved. 
H. pellopis B.-Bak. Light greyish-brown, abdomen ochreous-grey, forewing unicolorous, greyish- 
brown, unmarked, hindwing whitish ochreous with a faint lustre. Size of Scoliacma bicolora (14 b). New Guinea. 
The $ is smaller than the 
144. Genus: JLambula Wkr. 
Contains a large number of small, mostly yellow or brown, very variable species exhibiting very few 
common marks particularly in the veins and secondary sexual marks. Proboscis well developed; the porrect 
palpi being haired beneath at the 2nd joint project beyond the forehead. Male antennae covered with ciliae 
and bristles; abdomen roughly haired. Forewing rather narrow, with a curved costal margin; the inner-marginal 
vein mostly approaches the lower median vein AA'ith aa hich it is often connected by a transverse vein; the 1st 
median and 3rd radial on a long footstalk, the middle radial vein absent; 1st radial from close above the middle 
of the transverse vein; the 3 lower subcostal veins petioled, the 2nd subcostal vein rises strongly curved upward 
from the upper cell-angle, the 1st anastomoses with the costal vein. On the hindwing the 1st median is fused 
Avith the 3rd radial and petioled with the 2nd median; the 2nd radial is absent, the subcostal and 1st radial 
fused or petioled. Quite a number of species were recently discovered in Nerv Guinea. 
L. sericea Rothsch. Head and body reddish-yellowish grey, abdomen darker, anal tuft yellowish, 
antennae brown. ForeAving with an inverted costal fold and a deep excision befoie the apex light greyish buff, 
dusted with a darker brownish, and with a satiny lustre. Hindwing light reddish yellowish-grey. Length of the 
foreAvings: 12 mm. New Guinea (Mount Goliath, Angabunga River). 
L. brunneomarginata Rothsch. Body Avood-colourecl brown, anal tuft yellow; forewing aa ith an inverted 
costal fold, creamy with a wood-coloured broAvn base, costal and distal margins with a satiny lustre; hindwings 
yellowish-white. The $, without a costal fold, has satiny lustrous white foreAvings; a broad ante-median band, 
a large, round discal spot, and a distally flawed antemarginal band are bronze-green; hindAvings drab. Length 
of forewings: <3 12, $ 10 mm. Oetakwa River; Milne Bay (NeAv Guinea). 
L. sericeoides Rothsch. is closely allied to sericea. Head, thorax and antennae dark brown; \ T ertex 
and shoulder-covers light reddish AA'oocl-coloifred; abdomen reddish yelloA\-ish-grey, anal tuft orange-brownish. 
Forewing leather-coloured yellowish-white AA'ith an inverted costal fold; the base, a large spot at the inner- 
marginal vein, a broad antemarginal band and a narrow marginal band are bronze-broAvn. HindAvings light 
buff. The $, without the costal fold, has a very coirvex costal margin and a deep excision before the apex; 
head, thorax and antennae chocolate-broAA’ir, vertex and collar snow-white; abdomen orange-brownish, the 
2 first segments grey. Forewings snow-white; a large antemedian spot, a postmedian band and an antemarginal 
band are chocolate-coloured; the t aao bands are more or less confluent, and the antemedian spot is connected 
AA'ith them by a narrow longitudinal streak. Hindwing yellowish wood-coloured. Length of forewings: 12, 
$ KA/o mm. Mount Goliath; Oetakwa River (Dutch NeAv Guinea). 
L. bimaculata Rothsch. is also allied to sericea. Head, antennae and thorax brown; abdomen light 
wood-coloured, the two first segments grey. Forewing yellowish-white Avith an inverted costal fold; the base, 
a large spot at the inner-marginal vein, an irregular spot behind it, a broad antemarginal band and a marginal 
line are bronze-brown. HindAvings yellowish-white. In the ^ the head, thorax and antennae are bronze-brown,
