G. nigra Wilem. The position of this species is uncertain, since nothing is mentioned about the shape nigra. 
of the antennae. Thorax and forewing sooty black, at the cross-vein white scales. Hindwing smoky grey. 
40 mm. Formosa. 
24. Genus: Crargettisoia gen. nov. 
Palpi bent up to the frons. Antennae of finely ciliated. Base of abdomen long-haired. Forewing 
somewhat broader than in Gargetta, vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 + 10 + 8-1-9 stalked. Hindwing at the 
base at the costal margin densely haired, veins 6 + 7 on a very short stalk. Type: melanosticta J. db T. 
G. melanosticta J. <£■ T . (81 g). Forewing brownish ochreous and dark brown, also with a greyer ground- melano- 
colour, with numerous rows of black dots. Near the base an oblique band distally. Behind the exterior row 
an almost triangular spot at the costal margin. Reniform macula black-edged. Before and at the distal margin 
a stronger row of dots. $ 52 mm. New Guinea (Arfak Mts., 1200 m). 
G. punctatissima B.-Bak. A plain melanosticta. Fore wing cinnamon-brown, at the base and costal punctatis- 
margin dark brown, with indistinct rows of dots, only the marginal dots more distinct. $ paler, so that the dark 
dots are prominent. 50 mm. New Guinea. 
25. Genus: ISesida Wkr. 
Palpi rising to the frons. Antennae ciliated. Abdomen very long, with a hair-pencil. Legs feeble. Hind 
tibiae with 2 pairs of long spurs. Forewing elongated, costal margin straight, apex rounded. Neuration not 
mentioned. 
B. xylinata Wkr. Ground-colour reddish-yellow. Forewing more or less hued with a violettish brown, xylinaiu. 
At the inner margin some brown spots. Some oblique rows of brown dots, submarginal dots black, at the anal 
angle a white streak. Hindwing pale brown. 20 lines. Java. Perhaps identical with Osica albiplaga (81 g). 
'26. Genus: Osiea Wkr. (Ortholomia Fldr.) 
Palpi long, densely haired, erect. Antennae of $ finely ciliated. Patagia pointed. Thorax behind with 
a feeble tuft. Base of abdomen with a tuft. Forewing elongated, interior angle rather sharp. Veins 2, 3, 4 well 
separated, 6 almost from the end of the accessory cell, 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. Type: glauca Wkr. 
0. glauca Wkr. Thorax brownish-white, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing whitish-brown or greyish- glauca. 
brown with numerous rows of darker brown dots. At the cross-vein a large pale broad spot, edged with dark. 
Close behind it a notched line from 3 / 5 costal margin to x / 2 inner margin, a submarginal row of black dots and 
an interrupted marginal line. 46—60 mm. Queensland. - In New Guinea the species is cpiite different. — moluc- 
cana Fldr. is probably a damaged $ of glauca. In Felder’s figure (in “Novara-Reise“) the inner margin of the 
forewing is broad light. A specimen of the Berlin Museum, from the Raniu R. in New Guinea, is darker at the 
inner margin, otherwise similar. Described from Amboina. turneri, from New Guinea, is probably also only 
a form of glauca. 
0. turner! B.-Bak. (81 f) shows on the forewing an angled basal band, a dark reniform macula, and turneri. 
behind it a scarcely notched dark line. At the inner margin before the latter line as far as the basal line whitish. 
Behind it a double row of dots and behind the latter at the inner margin dark brown. Before the margin a 
light straight dentate line and a row of black dots. The forewing may be also dark brown, almost black, in 
which case the reniform macula is lighter. funerea B.-Bak. is dark grey, the reniform macula whitish, with funerea. 
a white partition-line and a dark margin. The line behind it is notched. — albiplaga form. nov. (81 g) is rather albiplaga. 
unicoloured brownish ochreous. Traces of a basal and interior dentate line. Reniform macula narrow, light, 
with 2 black dots inside. Behind it a mostly strong dentate line. The submarginal black dots are distinct. 
At the anal angle a large white spot. 50—60 mm. Java, Borneo. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
27. Genus: €*allaJ>a Wkr. 
Palpi very long. On the frons a hair-tuft. Patagia large. Antennae of $ and $ pectinated to the tips. 
Forewing at the base strongly bent, then straight. Vein 5 a little below the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from 
the accessory cell, 10 from its apex, 7 close by. Type: duplicata Wkr. 
G. duplicata Wkr. Thorax and forewing blackish-brown, slightly strewn with white and reddish-brown duplicata. 
scales. Interior and extei'ior lines feebly traceable. Before the centre of the costal margin a black spot edged 
with white, below it often 2 or 3 smaller ones. In the centre of the wing an oblong black spot with a white 
edge. Abdomen and hindwing greyish-brown. 37—40 mm. Queensland. 
G. ochropepla Trnr. Thorax and forewing greyish-white. Centre of wing white. At the base in the ochropcpla. 
centre of the wing 2 black oblique streaks. Interior line grey, double, from % costal margin excurved to + 3
