second line rather thick, dark fuscous, forming a quadrate loop in 
lower part of disc, filled by a rather dark fuscous blotch projecting 
anteriorly; a suffused dark brown terminal fascia, narrowed 
opposite loop of second line; terminal edge very finely and 
interruptedly whitish : cilia grey, a dark grey basal shade. Hind- 
wings thinly scaled, iridescent whitish-grey ; a small dark grey 
discal spot; second line cloudy, dark grey, median third forming

Piletocera nasonia, n. sp. 
cJ 20-22 mm., $ 16 mm. Head, palpi, thorax fuscous, palpi 
(3 terminal joint ascending or deflexed, drooping, much longer than 
second joint, slender, cylindrical, tolerably pointed ( $ terminal 
joint apparently broken). Antennae <3 serrate, ciliated, with 
swollen and notched contortion about middle. Forewings rather 
elongate-triangular, costa slightly arched, termen rather obliquely 
rounded, cell hardly reaching J, 11 short, running into 12 (con¬ 
current) ; fuscous ; costa suffused dark fuscous ; a thick suffused 
dark fuscous ring on end of cell; second line pale greyisk-ockreous, 
irregularly waved, from cc^sta at |, indented beneath costa and 
slightly excurved to tornus, thence abruptly broken inwards to 
beneath middle of disc and continued to dorsum at §, where it is 
preceded by a dark fuscous spot; some small ochreous-whitisli 
terminal dots: cilia fuscous (imperfect). Hmdwings grey; cilia 
light grey. 
Fiji, Yunidawa, January, June; 3 ex. (type Brit. Mus.), 
Accepting a wide view of the definition of Piletocera, this species 
can be included within it, notwithstanding the exceptional palpi, 
being naturally related to other Melanesian forms. 
Piletocera enneaspila, n. sp. 
£. 16 mm. Head dark bronzy-fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous. 
Antennae blackish, apical fourth silvery-white. Thorax dark indigo- 
fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous, segmental margins 1-3 slightly 
touched whitish. Forewings rather elongate-triangular, costa 
slightly sinuate, posteriorly gently arched, termen obliquely 
rounded ; blackish ; markings snow-white ; a transverse spot in 
disc at a larger roundish one pointed above on end of cell, 
a triangular spot on costa at J, two slight erect marks from dorsum 
at 1 and |, and a small spot on termen just above tornus : cilia 
grey, a dark fuscous basal shade. Hind wings dark fuscous ; 
a small white spot in middle of disc, one on termen towards tornus, 
and a slight mark from dorsum towards tomus; cilia as iu fore¬ 
wings.
