line white slightly defined inwardly by brown, the area beyond it suffused with brown; slight terminal dark 
striae; fringe brown and white; hindwing white suffused with reddish brown. Christmas Island. 
M. euryzona Hmps. (26 c). Forewing rufous ochreous; a subbasal black bar from costa to submedian 
fold; a broad black median band, its inner edge strongly excurved, its outer edge incurved below cell; a black 
spot beyond it at lower angle of cell; hindwing pale ochreous suffused with fuscous; fringe pale ochreous. Bel- 
gaum, Madras; described from a single $. 
M. fuscimima spec. nov. (26 c). Fore wing white; the costa at base, a median fascia, and the ter¬ 
minal area olive brown; the median fascia is bounded inwardly by the vertical wavy black inner line; its outer 
edge is irregularly oblique, the fascia being twice as broad on inner margin as at costa; the terminal area is 
closely preceded beyond cell by a black comma-shaped mark forming an angle at its lower end; fringe olive 
brown; a slightly paler line before termen; hindwing grey; underside luteous white, sprinkled with grey; 
head and thorax white; the abdomen grey; the <$, slightly smaller than the $, is more clearly marked and has 
the costa dotted with olive brown, and the terminal dark area somewhat broken up by traces of a pale sub¬ 
terminal line. A few specimens from Ajmere. Type in Tring Museum. 
M. angustitaenia spec. nov. (26 c). Forewing white; the costa at base, a narrow wavy edged vertical 
median fascia, and a narrow terminal band dark olive brown; hindwing very pale grey; underside greyish 
luteous; head, tegulae, patagia, and abdomen white; palpi externally, the base of patagia, and the thorax 
brown. A few examples from Derby District, West Australia (Tunney). Type in Tring Museum. 
M. pulverosa spec. nov. (26c). Forewing whitish, powdered with lilac grey and ochreous; a median 
fascia and the terminal area pale olive brown; the fascia is bounded by the fine blackish white-edged inner 
and outer lines; the inner vertical, minutely waved; the outer bluntly angled outwards beyond cell; the reniform 
stigma an indistinct 8-shaped mark with pale outline and darker centre; subterminal line white, waved; fringe 
pale grey with a dark middle line; hindwing pale grey; underside luteous, suffused with grey in forewing, speck¬ 
led only in hindwing; head and thorax whitish speckled with grey; abdomen grey; palpi externally brown. 
2 $$ from the Upper Aroa River, British New Guinea, March 1903 (A. S. Meek). Type in Tring Museum. 
M. comes spec. nov. (26 c). Forewing resembles that of pulverosa, but the fascia and terminal area very 
dark brown, the suffusion brownish grey; the lines and outline of reniform snow white; the inner line more oblique 
and less wavy; the terminal half of hindwing darker grey and the base whitish; head and thorax brownish grey. 
A good series from Kumasi River and Angabunga River, British New Guinea. Type in Tring Museum. It is 
quite possible that M. pulverosa may be a local form of this species. 
M. furcata spec. nov. (26 c). Forewing shining white; a blotch at base of costa, the median fascia, and 
a broad diffuse streak from apex joining its outer angle deep red brown; the inner line evenly curved, black; 
the outer not reaching costa, which is broadly white between the fascia and the apical streak, coalescing with the 
broad white annulus of the reniform, the centre of which is represented by two black spots; termen irre¬ 
gularly and narrowly dark, forming a blotch at anal angle; subterminal line white, interrupted; fringe white 
with a row of grey spots near base; hindwing grey; underside of fore wing brownish grey, of hindwing whitish 
dusted with grey; head and thorax white; abdomen brownish Avith the segmental rings pale; palpi externally 
with second segment brown, its tip and the third segment white. A long series from the Solomon Islands. 
Type in the Tring Museum. 
M. chionozona Hmps. (26 c). Forewing yellowish suffused and irrorated Avith fuscous brown, except 
on termen from beloAV apex to vein 3; the inner marginal area much less suffused; a white spot at base of costal 
area; an inner white band, bent outwards and waved from subcostal vein to submedian fold, slightly edged 
outwardly Avith black; cell spot small, white; an ill-defined Avhite outer band, almost obsolete betAveen veins 6 
and 3; fringe blackish traversed by a yellowish line; hind wing fuscous broAvn Avith a cupreous gloss; fringe
