The Aloa specimens are identical with the type in the National Collection from Java. GEOMETRITES. Fam. EUSCHEMID^E. 30. SATARA WOODFORDI, sp. n. (Plate XXIX. fig. 6.) Primaries black, with two large yellow spots, the first almost oval and nearest the base, the second beyond, nearer the apex, extending from the costal margin almost to the inner margin near the anal angle. Secondaries bright yellow, crossed in the middle from the costal margin to the anal angle by a wide straight black band; the outer margin broadly bordered with black from the apex to the anal angle, where it joins the black band crossing the middle of the wing. The underside of all the wings the same as above, but not quite so bright in colour. The head, collar, and thorax black ; the tegulae bright yellow ; the abdomen dusky yellow ; antennae and legs black. Expanse 2 inches. Hab. Aola, Guadalcanar Island (C. M. Woodford).

Primaries and secondaries deep glossy black ; the primaries crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin close to the anal angle with a wide orange-red band which is narrower near the inner margin.
