by a blackish spot in base of cell, and a smaller one at base below it; lines waved, oblique outwards from 
costa; the inner blackish, excurved on submedian interval; median line deep brown, excurved beyond cell with 
slight indentation on cell fold; outer line redbrown, edged outwardly with whitish, lunulate dentate below 6, 
the teeth marked with white on the veins, indented on both folds; subterminal line formed of black spots, the two 
top ones preceded by whitish lunules, the upper of which runs into apex; terminal line redbrown, thickened be¬ 
tween the veins; fringe redbrown; hindwing paler, more pink, with the four lines repeated; under side pinkish 
white dusted and suffused with darker; cell of fore wing with some yellow scaling; the lines darker, the outer follow¬ 
ed by a row of black dashes; head, palpi, and forelegs deep red brown; thorax and dorsum paler, more pink; 
base of patagia whitish; tarsi fuscous Avith white joints. 1 from Woodlark Island, April 1897 (A. S. Meek). 
Probably akin to E. pulvinariae Olifj from New South Wales. 
A. longiplaga spec. nov. (24 e). Porewing greyish brick red; costal edge pale, interrupted by dark 
spots at the origin of the lines; inner line black, interrupted, toothed outwards below costa, angled inwards 
on the veins, widely excurved beloAV median vein; a long black brown streak in cell nearly touching a small 
brown cell lunule; median line well beyond middle, rufous edged with pale, oblique outwards to vein 6, there 
bluntly angled and oblique and straight inwards; outer line just beyond median, formed of black pale-tipped 
spots on the veins, outwardly oblique to vein 4, then oblique inwards to touch median line on submedian fold, 
and angled outwards on vein 1; subterminal line of dark wedgeshaped spots inwardly whitish edged; the ter¬ 
minal area greyer; hindwing with the median line straight; underside pinkish ochreous coarsely black speckled; 
the outer line marked by black spots; face, thorax, and patagia like wings; palpi and tegulae darker, olive grey; 
dorsum paler, pinkish grey. 1 $ from Sandakan, Borneo, January 1893. Type in Tring Museum. 
29. Genus: Alypophaiies Tmr. 
Tongue present; irons flat, somewhat sloping; palpi upcurved, with appressed scales; antennae of <$ 
lamellate, subserrulate beneath; basal segment with a small eyecap; thorax and dorsum smooth; the dor¬ 
sum with a white patch on second segment; legs smooth, without hair or spines; the spurs large; fore¬ 
wing with 7, 8, 9 stalked; hindwing normal; wings of delicate structure and bright coloration. Type A. 
iridocosma Tmr. 
A. phoenicoxantha Hmps. (24e). ForeAving yellow with deep rose pink suffusion, forming three blotches; 
a small basal one, a larger antemedian with dark lateral edges and not reaching inner margin, and a still larger 
one filling the terminal third, and leaving the extreme termen yellow, more broadly at apex and middle; 
hindwing Avholly rose pink except a broad yelloAV tooth at middle of costa and the extreme termen; fringe 
in both wings yelloAv; thorax and dorsum deep pink; the face, vertex, an oval spot on second segment of dor¬ 
sum, and the anal tip yellow; in the ab. purpurata ab. nov. (24e) the pink is suffused with purple and the dark 
edging of the blotches is velvety black. NeAv Guinea, Milne Bay and Humboldt Bay; Goodenough Island; 
Fergusson Island. 
A. flavirosea Hmps. (24 e). Much smaller than phoenicoxantha, paler and more delicate pink, without 
any darker edging or suffusion; the blotches all reach the inner margin; in the hindwing the costal yellow tooth 
extends across the Aving, curving narrowly round into inner margin; the yelloAv dorsal spot is obscure or absent. 
Solomon Islands. 
A. iridocosma Tmr. Differs from the two preceding species in the suffusion being violet grey; in size 
it equals phoenicoxantha. Queensland. 
30. Genus : iienocryptis gen. nov.

segment pointed; antennae of $ ?; of $ simple, filiform, the basal segment enlarged and porrect, the 
shaft angled from it; thorax and abdomen smooth, the latter long; legs without hairs or spines, the spurs 
long; forewing elongate, narrow; the costa slightly insinuate in middle and depressed at apex, which is bluntly 
rounded; termen bluntly elbowed at vein 3, excised above and very oblique below; hindwing triangular,
