EUPROCTIS. By Dr. E. Strand. 
marked black spots which are connected by a black line. Hindwing and under surface whitish-yellow. Fringes 
reddish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Milne Bay, New Guinea. 
huntei. E. huntei Warr. forewing deep yellow, with some reddish-brown scaling except in the marginal 
area; into this lighter area, however, the brown colouring extends between the veins 3 and 5, and faint brownish 
patches are in the marginal area between the veins. Costa and veins in the terminal half yellow. A pale whitish- 
yellow spot immediately outside the discocellular spot. Fringes reddish-brown. Hindwing uni-coloured light 
orange, along the dorsal fold somewhat deeper; fringes yellow. Head, thorax and antennae yellowish, abdomen 
dark brown with narrow lighter segmental rings, anal hair greyish-brown, anal segment snow-white. — Most 
closely allied with E. edwardsi Newm. from Australia. Expanse of wings: 52 mm. British New Guinea. 
faceia. E. faceta Swh. (44 f). palpi, frons, head and thorax white, forewing greyish-olive with a white 
costa and two white transverse lines, one of which is antemedian, being on the costal margin proximally curved 
and composed of two broad-crescentiform streaks, the posterior of which forms the distal border of a large 
white spot, whilst the other transverse line is dentate, formed of crescentiform figures and being midway curved 
distally. Fringes white with grey spots at the ends of the veins. Hindwing and abdomen dirty ochreous-white. 
Under surface whitish and uni-coloured, but in the forewing with grey streaks below the costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 22 mm. Kapaur (New Guinea). 
revera. E. revera Sioh. is allied with E. lodra Moore (44 h). In both sexes the antennae, frons and head 
are ochreous, thorax dark brown, abdomen black. In the the basal halves of both wings are blackish, the 
apical halves ochreous, in the 2 the wings are uni-coloured blackish, except the ochreous terminal third of 
the costal margin of the forewing and the ochreous margin of both wings. Expanse of wings: 29%, $ 44 mm. 
New Guinea. 
peela. E. peela Swh. (43 h). antennae, palpi, head, thorax and forewing bright yellow; two brownish- 
black transverse bands, the first being antemedian and interrupted, not reaching the costal margin, the other 
discal, before the middle dentate, with a tooth reaching the margin. Abdomen, hindwing, and under surface 
whitish, slightly hued yellowish. Expanse of wings: 24% mm. Milne Bay, New Guinea. 
leucospila. E. leucospila Wkr. Both sexes dark brown. Forewdng with 6 white marginal spots, the anterior one 
of which is situate at the apex and much larger than the others, the second and third being smaller, the fourth 
and fifth being quite small, the sixth being larger than the second. In the $ the abdomen is ochreous at the 
apex with yellowish-grey woolly hairing; hind wing with white fringes, but unspotted. Expanse of wings: 
28% to 45 mm. Celebes. 
submargi- E. submarginata Wkr. <$: brown. The thin palpi extend far beyond the head. The pinnae of the 
tialci. outside of the palpi are much longer than those of the inside. Abdomen with pale yellow anal wool. Forewing 
lighter than hindwing, with 5 white marginal spots, the first of which is apical and much larger than the others, 
the second small, the third likewise small and distantly remote from the fourth and fifth. Hindwing with similar 
white marginal spots, the posterior ones of which are connected. Expanse of wings: 24% mm. Celebes. 
biplagiata. E. biplagiata Wkr. ?: blackish-brown, abdomen laterally yellowish, the margin with white spots between 
the veins. Forewdng with a yellow inner-marginal spot near the base, the first, second and-third marginal spots 
large and streak-shaped, between the first and the costal'margin two small streaks, the fourth, seventh and 
eighth small, the fifth and sixth very small. Hindwing with equally large spots. Expanse of wings: 57 mm. 
Celebes. Of Euproctis biplagiata Wkr. there are 2 specimens before me from Minahassa. Walker’s description 
is good. , ' 
leucospilo- E. leucospilodes sp. nov. (44 a; $ as leucospila). From ,,Celebes“ there is a $ form before me beside 
des. several specimens from the Minahassa, which I have seen for certain as E. leucospila Fldr. which species is 
identified by Swinhoe with Walker’s species of the same name. Whether the latter is correct does not 
seem to be quite sure to me, since Walker mentions ,,a white fringe” on the liindwdngs, whereas Felder’s 
figure of the under surface represents these fringes blackish-grey, but a white, almost linear marginal band 
of the hindwing. At any rate the present form is neither identical with Felder’s leucospila nor that of Walker, 
nor can it be the other sex of E. biplagiata Wkr., as this is also present in the female sex. -— Forewdng as in 
leucospila Fldr. (cf. Novarra Reise, Lep., t. 98, fig. 16); the number of the white spots varies from 6 to 8, that- 
defeda. in area 3 being always small and sometimes quite absent (ab. defecta Strd. ab. nov., which has consequently 
7 spots at most). In the hindwing there are 7 or 8 white marginal spots little different in size, of which 
the two posterior at most touch each other, though they are never quite confluent. 
inepta. E. inepta Btlr. (43 h) is allied with E. moorei and anguligera. Forewdng, thorax and antennae light 
ochreous, hindwing and abdomen ochreous-wdiitish. Under surface creamy-whitish. Forewdng of U above in
