ochreous, in the $ with a black hue in the dorsal area. Under surface light ochreous, in the $ with a similar 
blackish line as above. Expanse of wings: 37, $ 51 y 2 mm. — Presumably it is similar to E. deficita. Queens¬ 
land. 
E. niphobola Trnr. <$ and $ dark brownish. Anal brush of ochreous, of $ grey. Forewing scantily 
speckled with large, triangular, white scales, with a straight subterminal, white nebulous band and white marginal 
spots. Hindwing with a whitish terminal band crossed by the veins. 37 to 42 mm. Queensland, in February 
and September. 
Note: Eup. bipunctujera Strd. (45 f) is a form of the almost exclusively palearctic E. flava. distinguished by 2 black 
apical dots of the forewing. Of. Vol. II, p. 135. —■ E. comparata (fig. 45 g) is a form of vitellina from Cashmir and has been 
dealt with in Vol. IT. p. 137. As to further particulars about E. limbata Bilr. cf. also Vol. II, p. 139. 
40. Genus: l>asyclilroi<les B.-Balc. 
Palpi erect, densely long-haired. Antennae of <$ very long-combed. Legs hairy. Margin of forewing 
rounded off and hardly oblique; 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 forked, 11 and 12 anastomosing quite shortly. In the hindwing 
3. 4, and 5 rise near the angle of the cell, 6 and 7 from the anterior angle. -— Without definitely stating it, 
the author seems to want to enlist his genus in Dasychira. The genus Dasychiroides B.-Balc. is diagnosed by 
Turner, as follows: palpi porrect or feebly inclined upwards, 1 st joint moderately [long or thick?], 2nd joint 
below long-haired, last joint very short. Thorax and abdomen without crests. Forewing: 7+8+9 +10 
forked, 7 rises before 10 , 11 anastomoses shortly with 12 . Hindwing: 5 and 4 close together at the base, disco- 
cellular angular. 6 and 7 fused, 7 anastomoses shortly with 8 before the centre. •— Distinguished from Euproctis 
by the anastomosing veins 11 and 12 on the forewing, from Axiologa Trnr. by the absence of an areola. 
D. obsoleta B.-Bak. (46 f). <$: head and thorax greyish-white, palpi black with grey apex, abdomen 
dark brown; legs grey, spotted black. Forewing whitish, traces of a black, dentate basal line, with double 
antemedian and median, dentate, interrupted lines, a postmedian serrate line, and an antemarginal line almost 
appearing as a row of lines; margin spotted black. Hindwing greyish-black, with similar fringes. Beneath 
the wings are dingy grey below the cell, of the same colour is the centre of the costal margin; hindwing dark 
grey, with traces of a lunar spot in the cell. Expanse of wings: 44 to 50 mm. Is said to be common in British 
New Guinea; it flies near the coast in May and June, in more mountainous districts in August. 
D. nigrostrigata B.-Bak. (46 g as nigrostriata). : very similar to D. obsoleta. but with blurred markings, 
and at the end of the cell a broad black, oblique transverse band extends from the centre of the costal margin 
to the anal angle. Expanse of wings: 47 mm. British New Guinea. 
D. pratti B.-Bak. (46 1 ). A- head and thorax greyish-white, palpi black, laterally edged with white, 
abdomen brown with a whitish anal brush, legs greyish-white, tibiae and tarsi of hind-legs brown, wings dark 
brown with white fringes which exhibit a dark parting-line in the hindwing, whilst in the forewing they are 
traversed by black lines. Forewing with a white basal and marginal area and a whitish spot in the centre of 
the costal area. Black, dentate transverse lines are to be recognized. In the $ the light parts of the forewings 
are not white, but light grey. Expanse of wings: <$ 50, $ 75 mm. Rather common in British New Guinea; 
it flies in January-February and July-August. It also occurs in Kuranda in North Queensland, where it flies 
in October. 
D. bicolora B.-Bak. (46 e). $: head and thorax grey with a dark median streak, pectinations orange- 
red, abdomen dark brown. Forewing whitish grey, in the costal area in the discal half a dark brown area 
posteriorly roundish, and from here to the base of the wing a dark grey costal-marginal band; fringes as in 
D. pratti. Hindwing uni-coloured blackish-brown, with similar fringes. Beneath both wings are uni-coloured 
dark brown. Expanse of wings: 43 to 44 mm. Closely allied to D. pratti. British New Guinea. 
D. brunneostrigata B.-Bak. (46 t). £ : forewing white; beyond the cell a narrow brown, angular transverse 
band which is angularly broken at vein 6 , where it bifurcates, so that one branch extends anteriorly and proxi- 
mally to the costal margin, whilst the other is expanded towards the apex which, however, it does not reach. 
Hind-margin almost in the centre with two black spots. Hindwing dark grey. Head, thorax, and anal brush 
whitish. Abdomen dark grey. Expanse of wings: 51 mm. British New Guinea. 
41. Genus: Hsiplopseiisiis Meyr. (Acnissa Trnr.) 
Proboscis feebly developed, palpi obliquely porrect, last joint small. Antennae in both sexes bi-pectinate, 
thorax with a posterior tuft of scales. Abdomen in both sexes smooth. In the forewing vein 2 rises from 73 ,
