band. Expanse of wings: 19.6 mm. Kapaur, New Guinea. 
E. perpusillatia sp. nov. (44 d) is very similar to E. varians ( pusilla ) (Vol. II, t. 23 b). Expanse of perpusilla- 
wings only 15 mm, thus one of the smallest species of Euproctis. Forewing ochreous-yellow, on the costal margin 
in the basal half a little darker, with traces of two submedian, almost unnoticeably lighter and almost linear 
transverse bands enclosing between them a band less than 1 mm broad of the ground-colour and extending 
subparallel to each other and to the margin. Fringes, head and thorax coloured like the forewing. Hindwing 
beneath and above yellowish greyish-white with a distinct yellow marginal line. Forewing beneath hued pale 
yellowish-brown, in the dorsal area whitish like the hindwing, in the marginal area faintly hued yellowish. 
Antennal pinnae light brownish with a whitish-yellow shaft. Legs light brownish-yellow. Abdomen like hind¬ 
wing, but with a dark yellow apex. New Guinea (Coll. Seitz).

but with an orange anal tuft. Eorewing greyish-yellow, everywhere speckled with black; a black band from 
the middle of the posterior margin along the distal side of the cell to the costal margin, a / 3 of its length distant 
from the base and sending a tooth into the cell; fringes yellow and parted. Hindwing darker grey, less yellow, 
the darkest at the posterior margin; fringes parted, the distal half yellowish-white, the proximal half alternately 
lighter and darker. —- In the $ there appears more ochreous colouring instead of orange, fore wing with a less 
sharply marked and not furrowed band, hindwing coloured as forewing, though dusted darker. Expanse of 
wings: $ 32, $ 44 mm. Preanger (Java). 
E. rubida B.-Bak. <$: head and thorax reddish-orange. Abdomen black, at both its ends yellow, rubida.

E. lavella B.-Bak. is allied with E. varians (pusilla , Vol. II, t. 23 b). head and thorax light lavella. 
yellow, abdomen grey. Forewing light yellow, in the basal area deeper yellow, with a light median and post¬ 
median line being angled at the cell, the space between of a deeper yellow. Hindwing whitish-yellow. $: head 
and thorax orange, abdomen dark grey. Forewing orange. Hindwing yellowish and partly dark grey. Expanse 
of wings: 30, $ 34 mm. Salomons, in February and March.

orange; traces of one postmedian and one median orange undulate line, which lines flow together on the posterior 
margin. Hindwing white, in the dorsal area orange. Expanse of wings: 43 mm. Sometimes the colouring is 
straw-coloured and the nnclulate lines of the forewing more distinct: ab. garra ab. nov. British New Guinea, garra. 
E. arfaki B.-Bak. head, thorax and antennae light brown. Abdomen black, anal segment whitish, arfaki.

E. osuna Sivh. (43 e). $: dull ochreous with a chestnut hue. Forewing long, the distal margin almost osuna. 
as long as the costal margin; two chestnut macular bands, one discal, the other marginal, the first composed 
of 5 or 6 quadrangular spots, towards the base traces of another blackish band, all the spots and the fringes 
speckled blackish. Abdomen and dorsal half of hindwing hued blackish. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. Kapaur

brownish-gtey bands covering almost the whole upper surface, the first occupying almost the whole basal third 
and being separated from the second somewhat narrower band by a yellow, distally curved streak, at the costal 
margin a yellow spot, at the end of the angle of the distal margin of the second band there are two sharply
