S. triangularis sp. n. (83 h). Thorax green, tegulae red-brown. Forewing green. Interior line black, 
undulated, inside with black spots. Exterior line double, the interior branch stronger, almost parallel to the 
distal margin, behind it below vein 3 a short black patch, above vein 4 a long one, above its exterior end some 
more as far as vein 7. Submarginal greyish-black spots and a black notched marginal line. Abdomen and hind¬ 
wing red-brown. 60 mm. Burn, 1500 m, Malacca. Type in the British Museum. 
S. Hchenina Btlr. Forewing pale green, with white scales especially in the base of the costal margin. 
Ring-macula and reniform macula close together, forming a grey 8, centred with dark. An undulated grey 
interior and exterior line is traceable. The dark submarginal line is more distinct. Costal margin with many 
oblique red-brown streaks. Hindwing pale chocolate brown, the costal margin lighter, with the usual Stauropus- 
spots. 50 mm. Borneo. 
S. baruna Mr. has been omitted here, because it has been described on p. 295 among the Lymantriidae 
as Dasychira. Cf. pi. 41 f. 
53. Genus: l&sikostsiiiro|»us gen.nov. 
In the neuration similar to Stauropus, but the wings broader. Antennae of $ with shorter pectinations, 
but as far as the tips. Hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. 
0. glaucoviridis Rolhsch. (84 a). Forewing pale bluish-green, spotted white. A dark brown interior 
band is incurved in the submedian fold. Exterior line fine, dark, notched, with white lunae, at the costal margin 
with a dark brown spot. At the margin brown rings, before it white dots. Hindwing pale red-brown. $ 40—45 mm. 
New Guinea. 
54. Genus: Xiiparogisls Hmps. 
Palpi small. Antennae of the $ strongly pectinated. Forewing broad. Vein 5 very far in front, 6 + 7 
+ 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing very large. Type: postalbida Hmps. 
L. postalbida Hmps. (= formosana Wilem.). Forewing white, at the base and behind the exterior line 
from the inner margin to vein 4 brown. Hindwing white, at the anal end feebly brownish and with a brown 
spot at the apex. 26—30 mm. Naga Hills, Kwangtung, Formosa. 
L. celebensis sp. n. (84 a). On the forewing the interior border of the violettish-brown base somewlmt 
more oblique. Exterior line from 3 / 5 costal margin to vein 4 outwards, concave, then divided and straight and 
inwardly notched to the anal angle, ending shortly before it. Behind it at the costal margin a brown triangle. 
The brown marginal streaks are feebler on the hindwing. <$ 30 mm. Celebes. Type in the British Museum. 
55. Genus: Cascera Wlcr. 
Palpi rising to the frons. Antennae of $ pectinated and tufted, or only tufted as far as + 3 of their length, 
in the $ plain. Thorax behind with a feeble tuft. Forewing broad. Vein 6 almost from the centre of the 
accessory cell, 7, 8 + 9 and 10, or 7 + 8 + 9 and 10 from its apex. In the hindwing vein 8 is almost fused with 
the cell. Type: muscosa Wlcr. — Nearly all the species occur in the mountains of New Guinea. Most of them 
exhibit on the forewing a white-edged median band which is broad at the inner margin and is divided from the 
median vein in front, where it encloses a black spot and despatches above vein 2 a white spur outwards. The 
sj)ecies can only be distinguished by coloured figures. It is questionable whether all the species quoted are 
really distinct species. It is only the examination of the genitals that could throw light upon this question. 
I. Antennae of the $ pectinated and tufted. 
C. muscosa Wkr. According to Turner bella B.-Balc. is the same species; we therefore use its description. 
Marking greenish-brown, the space before the submarginal line faded, outside browner, inside greener. 40—45 mm. 
Queensland, bella from New Guinea (Arfak Mts., 1200 m). — inconcisa Swh. from Mysol will be a blurred 
specimen of the same species having turned yellow. — Judging from the’comparison of the coloured and non¬ 
coloured figures, irrorata Rothsch. is a form of bella. The brown band before the submarginal line is inside 
sharply defined, in bella faded. pallida Rothsch. is somewhat paler, the white spot at the median band stronger. 
All these forms from New Guinea. 
C. callima B.-Balc. In the original description it is stated: “similar to bella". Judging from the text 
it might be no Cascera at all. Fore wing pale pinkish-brown. Below the base of the median vein a dark diffuse 
patch. A dark twin-line through the centre of the cell. At the end a dark spot centred white, and behind it 
dark spots. Hindwing pale grey. $ 50 mm. New Guinea (Mt. Kebea, 2000 m).
