Both the edges at the costal margin and in the middle introangular. Hindwing the same. Median band near 
the inner margin bent inwards. 28 mm. Khasis. 
E. flavida Warr. Quite different, recalling the Geometrid genus Plutodes. Pale yellow. A pale grey flavida. 
basal spot edged with red, prolonged at the upper cell-margin. A similar spot before the distal margin extends 
to vein 2. On the hindwing the marginal spot is narrower, interrupted. At the centre of the inner margin a 
violet spot. Cellular spot black. 25 mm. Malacca. 
E. nigromaculata Pag. is likewise very different. Forewing brownish, costal margin blackish. A black nigromacu- 
stripe of spots from y 3 costal margin to the distal margin and one at the distal margin. Hindwing brownish, 
costal margin light yellow, with a large black central spot. 18 mm. Aru Is. 
We append some species of Epiplema described by Rothschild in the account of the Ornithologist’s 
Union Expedition to New Guinea. As there are no statements about the shape of the distal margin, they 
cannot be ranged. The two species figured look like a Gathynia (warreni) or a Ghaetoceras ( boarmiata). 
E. wollastoni Rothsch. Wings pale wood-brown. Forewing somewhat paler. In the cell an indistinct wollasioni. 
brown spot. A curved dark brown band behind the middle of the costal margin to vein 4 and a dark brown 
spot above the inner margin. Hindwing darker, more faded, with postmedian dark brown spots and some at 
the little tails. Some specimens are very dark. 28—32 mm. Dutch New Guinea. 
E. warreni Rothsch. (59 f). Forewing pale cinnamon brown and red-brown. An interior, median and warreni. 
exterior band between veins 2 and 8 brown. Hindwing with a subbasal and median band and a marginal line, 
all 3 brown. The median band is interrupted by a radial streak. 20 mm. Dutch New Guinea. 
E. boarmiata Rothsch. (59 f). Forewing yellowish-red, dusted with red-brown, the least at the disc, boarmiata. 
An angular row of dark spots from the apex to vein 2. Hindwing similar but with dark spots at the anal angle, 
at and above vein 2 at the margin. 52 mm. Dutch New Guinea. 
18. Genus: I*aroecia Warr. 
Antennae of $ bipectinate. Forewing of d with a scaled spot at the base above vein 1, short and broad, 
costal margin and distal margin bent. Hindwing slightly dentate at veins 4 and 7. Neuration as in Epiplema. 
Type: acutepicta Warr. 
P. acutepicta Warr. (59 f). Forewing whitish grey, densely dusted brown. Lines brown. The first near acutepicta. 
the base, bent, enclosing the scent-spot. The second in the centre, running across the cross-vein, then indistinct. 
The third at the margin, inside with black dots, introangular on vein 7. Hindwing without a marginal line. 
18 mm. New Guinea. 
19. Genus: Phazaca Wkr. 
Hindwing with but one angle, otherwise scarcely different from Epiplema. Type: erosioides Wkr. 
Ph. erosioides Wkr. (= kohistaria Swh., undulata Warr.) (59 g). Forewing white, dusted with iron erosioicles. 
grey. Interior line absent, exterior line rusty red from % costal margin to a little before the anal angle, in the 
centre with a feeble dent outwards, then strongly incurved. Submarginal line of fine black dots. Hindwing 
paler, at the costal margin smoke-brown. A dark curved interior line and a double exterior line. Submarginal 
line of black lunae. 22 mm. Borneo, Andamans, Fergusson I. 
20. Genus : S*later«sia Warr. 
Palpi short, delicate, proboscis absent, antennae thick, flattened. Forewing narrow, costal margin 
somewhat concave in the middle, apex and distal margin rounded, with a slight excision above the anal angle. 
Inner margin excurvecl near the base. Hindwing round, broad, distal margin undulate, with sharp dents at 
veins 3, 4, 6 and 7. Neuration of forewing: vein 4 from the lower cell-angle, veins 5 + 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 stalked, 
10 and 11 anastomosing. In the hindwing vein 3 arises shortly before 4. Type: rotundipennis Warr. 
P. rotundipennis Warr. (59 g). Forewing white, dusted with greyish-brown, with 2 dark grey spots rotundi- 
in the centre of the inner margin. Lines indistinct. The first from % costal margin to the first spot, the second, pennis 
dark grey from the centre of the costal margin, excurved in the middle, to the second spot. In the anterior 
half a grey marginal streak. On the hindwing the interior line near the base, the exterior line rusty red, inter¬ 
rupted,. bent. Behind it black spots. Submarginal line rusty brown, interrupted. 22 mm. Fergusson I.
