shadow behind the exterior line at the costal margin recalls arcuata. The black arrow-spots before the distal 
margin are scaled white. The dark margin on the hindwing seems to be narrower. — atriferella Strd. lacks the 
U-shaped white spot on the forewing. —- In atriferoides Strd. it is present. The ground-colour is greyer. 
S. swinhoei B.-Bak. (34 f). Forewing lilac brown as far as the median line, lighter at the costal margin 
at the base. Interior line double, bent, cpiite indistinct, like the clistally black-edged ring-macula, too. Median 
line black, oblique, straight. Reniform macula edged with black outside, somewhat triangular, with a white 
dot inside. Exterior line double, notched, excurved as far as vein 4, then obliquely inward. Black streaks on 
both sides before the notched white submarginal line at the costal margin, and reddish yellow spots before that 
line in the discal and submedian folds. Hindwing normal. The base of the $ forewing is lighter, the ring-macula 
bears orange scales, the spots before the submarginal line are also orange. — bakeri E. Prout shows the median 
line inwardly bent below the cell, the margin of the hindwing much broader. 36—40 mm. Both from New Guinea. 
S. plumbeotincta E. Prout (34 f). Forewing greyish ochreous, greyish violet in the marginal area, a spot 
of the ground-colour at the anal angle. Interior line indiscernible. Median line black, somewhat darker before 
it, almost straighter than in swinhoei, slightly angled in the submedian fold, reniform macula greyish lead- 
coloured, narrower in front, but not triangular, towards the base also with a white spot. Another parallel fine 
line behind the median line. Exterior line of brown spots, slightly concave behind the cell, somewhat outward 
at vein 3, then parallel to the margin. Submarginal line light, notched, black spots before it below the costal 
margin and below the middle, dark also behind it below the middle. Hindwing broadly margined. 32—34 mm. 
Rossel I. We figure 1 $ from Sumatra. 
S. stygia Pimps. (34 g) is probably closely allied with timesia Swinh. which was distantly separated from 
it by Hampson. Forewing blackish, brownish at the edge of the costal margin. A stretched greyish yellow spot 
before the apex. Ring-macula and reniform macula indicated by a few yellowish white scales. The exterior line 
forms the border of the apical spot and from vein 3 the border of the anal spot. Submarginal line white, some¬ 
what undulate, with dark spots. Hindwing broadly edged with dark, also at the inner margin. <$ 36—38 mm. 
New Guinea, New Pomerania. 
S. acutangulata sp. n. (34 f). Body and forewing whitish, densely dusted with greyish brown. Interior 
line blackish, inward below the cell, extending somewhat outward at vein 1, faded dark before it. Traces of a 
brown ring-macula. Median line distinctly black, extra-angular in the submedian fold. Reniform macula edged 
with black, more intensely white before it than in bakeri. Exterior line double, notched, black, filled with yellow, 
narrowly white behind it. Red-brown before the white notched submarginal line from the costal margin to vein 4, 
a blackish brown spot in the submedian fold. Hindwing as broadly dark as in bakeri. $ 38 mm. New Guinea. 
biirgersi /. n. (34 d). A few greenish white scales at the base at the costal margin. Dark red-brown as far as 
the median line which is shaped as in acutangulata. In it there are traces of the interior line marked by black 
dots with white scales, the ring-macula is also marked by a black dot. The reniform macula as in the typical 
form. Somewhat lighter between the median and exterior lines. Exterior line with a whiter filling, with long 
outward points, where there are white dots. Idle brown apical spot normal. White behind the submarginal line, 
the fringe speckled. Owing to this varied marking is is somewhat similar to polysticta Prout (p. 370). $ 36 mm. 
New Guinea. Both the forms were collected by Dr. Burgers. Types in the Berlin Museum. 
S. albipuncta Hmps. (34 g). Dark brown. The basal area, the costal margin outside, and a submarginal 
spot below vein 6 red-brown. Coniform macula and ring-macula indicated by black dots with white scales. The 
reniform macula also edged with white scales. Median line black, indistinct, excurved in front, then inward. 
Exterior line double, filled with white lunae, excurved in front. Submarginal line of fine white dots, a large 
conspicuous spot before it in the submedian fold. In the $ the base is also dark, the median line finely white, 
the submedian spot indiscernible. — The $ may also be darker, all the otherwise white spots grey, except the 
spot in the submedian fold. Hindwing broadly edged with brown: cinereipicta Strd. 44 mm. New Guinea. 
S. microthyris Hmps. (34 g). Forewing dark brown. Lighter brownish ochreous in and below the cell- 
end, and a narrow band from behind the upper cell-angle, bent in front, then obliquely inward almost to the base 
of the wing. A lighter red-brown band behind the cell to the distal margin. The double exterior line very indis¬ 
tinct, parallel to the margin. The submarginal line of black dots also parallel to the margin. The hyaline basal 
area of the hindwing is short. 44 mm. Described according to 2 from New Guinea. 
S. whiteheadi Warr. Pale brownish ochreous. A bent black streak at vein l to the interior line. Reni¬ 
form macula large, but indistinctly edged, with a brown spot below. Exterior line doidfie, notched, the interior 
branch brown, the other one lilac black. A brown shadow at the inner margin from vein 3 to the interior line. 
Brownish ochreous between the exterior line and the submarginal line, lilac black behind the notched submar¬ 
ginal line. Hindwing normal. 42 mm. 1 $ known from the Philippines. 
S. suffusa Wilem. &• West . is also similar to microthyris . Forewing reddish brown, dark brown at the base. 
Less dark from there to the exterior line. Narrowly blackish brown at the costal and inner margins. The 
reniform macula is a dark brown spot. Exterior line double, blackish, undulate, faded, excurved as far as
