114. Targalla catephioides ekeikei snbspec. nov. 



Differs from Hampson's species in its melanism ; the base up to the median 

 line is very dark blackish brown, and the rest of the wing is dark brown ; the 

 reniform stigma has a greenish hue in fresh specimens, degenerating into ochreous 

 brown. The secondary is blackish grey, with a small white basal innermarginal 

 patch. 



In quite fresh specimens there is a dark bronzy-green scaling over the 

 thorax and abdominal tufts, and to a less extent over the primary, but this 

 evidently soon wears off. This melanic form is quite constant in all the collections 

 received, and has evidently developed into a local race. 



Hab. All the localities in New Guinea. 



Type is in my collection, and in the Tring Museum are other specimens.
