1. Genus: ]^ervi<i?omg&Fe$sa B.-Bak. 
Described as a Limacodid genus, but surely an Eupterotida. As the genus was not described at that 
place, the description follows here. Palpi small, drooping, very hairy, body and legs very hairy. Wings short 
and broad, cell extremely short, less than % of length of wings. Vein 1 c absent! Vein 2 of forewing arises 
near the base, 5 nearing or stalked with 6—9, vein 9 is very much curved and pressed near to vein 11, 11 
nearing 12, vein 10 absent. Vein 5 of hindwing from the same place or stalked with the stalked 6 + 7. Vein 8 
bent off from the anterior cell-margin, only touching its extreme base. Hitherto only known from New Guinea. 
1. Fore wing without a round whitish-yellow spot at the cell-end. 
N, lunulata B.-Bak. (85 e). d body brown, abdomen orange brown. Forewing basally % red-brown, 
with a dark transverse band, distal third ochreous, border-lines between both crescentiform. The yellowish- 
ochreous area is traversed by a grey line formed of crescents and dotted black on the veins, a red-brown 
spot below the apex at the margin. Hindwing paler, the yellowish-ochreous distal area darkened towards the 
margin. $ pale brownish-grey, with 2 darker transverse bands, beyond them a series of dark dots, with a dark 
subapical area. Hindwing ochreous, with 2 undulated darker transverse stripes, between which there is a 
short row of dark dots, interior margin purple brown. Expanse of wings: 42—45 mm. Dinawa, Aroa. 
N. unistrigata B.-Bak. (85 e). Body dark brown. Wings brownish ochreous, with an almost straight 
dark greyish-brown central stripe. $ paler. July to September. Expanse of wings: 39—43 mm. Dinawa. 
N. kebeae B.-Bak. (85 e). G body dark brown, abdomen dark orange. Forewing cinnamon-brown, 
paler in the centre, with a straight, oblique purple brown median transverse line followed by a similar somewhat 
curved transverse line which is bordered with light distally and provided with black vein-dots. Hindwing 
orange, the two transverse lines only traceable, the dark vein-dots distinct. March and April. Expanse of 
wings: 42 mm. Kebea. 
N. dubia B.-Bak. (85 e). $ body blackish brown, abdomen orange. Forewing pale tan-coloured, darker 
at the margin, especially below the apex. Lines similar as in kebeae, the interior one curved, distally to the exterior 
one dark vein-dots. Hindwing orange, with an undulated postmedian line and dark vein-spots behind it. 
September. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. Dinawa.
