24. Chrysochloroma rubritincta Wan-., ah. fuscimargo imv. 



In Noc. Zool. vol. iii. \t. 364 (1896) I described ruhrilinctu from New Guinea 

 as a subspecies of (subalbida AVarr.) = megaloittera Lower from North Quecuslaud. 

 Having now seen several specimens of both forms, I am convinced that rubritincta 

 is a good species. Of two ? ? from the Oetakwa River, 8now Mts., Dutch New 

 Guinea, one agrees perfectly with the type, the otlier I describe as ah.Juscimdrgo 

 nov. ; in it the forewing has a chuidy fuscous marginal shade from anal angle 

 becoming obsolete above middle, wiiile the hiudwing possesses a broad fuscous 

 terminal cloud, which fades out before the anal angle ; the large cell-si)Ot of 

 hindwing is encircled by a dilfuse fuscous cloud, and there are two or three small 

 patches of fuscous scales between it and the terminal border; in all other points 

 it agrees with typical specimens. The two examples were taken by A. S. Meek 

 between October and December 101 1>. 



25. Dioscore simplex spec. nov. 



Foirwing : dull grey-green ; inner line marked by white dots on the veins ; 

 enter line by a curved row of white vein-spots at two-thirds ; fringe dark grey, with

 slightly raised spot on upper arm of discocellular. 



Underside much paler, somewhat yellowish-tinged towards costa. 



Face, tips of ])alpi, and forelegs pale brown ; vertex, thorax, and dorsum 

 concolorous with wings; fillet and antennal shaft white. 



Expanse of wings : 46 mm. 



2 ? ? from Ninay Valley, Central Arfak Mts., Dutch New Guinea, 3500 ft., 

 February and March 1909. 



26. Gelasma saturata spec. nov. 



Forewing : very deep grass-green ; lines faintly paler, but very indistinct ; 

 the inner curved and followed by a sliglitly darker shaile; the outer from three- 

 fourths of inner margin, nearly parallel to termen, and becoming obsolete above 

 middle ; a small brown cell-spot ; a fine brown terminal line slightly swollen 

 between veins ; fringe brown, rather glossy, with the base somewhat jialer. 



lliiidiriiig : with a large brown cell-spot; the outer Hue plainer and bent 

 below middle ; the terminal area broadly brown ; fringe as in forewing. 



Underside brighter green; fringe of both wings dark brown; termen of 

 hindwing with some small dull brown clouds between the veins. 



Vertex, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings ; face deep brown above, 

 paler below ; palpi above deep brown, below greenish white ; antennae deep green ; 

 pectus and venter whitish green. 



Expanse of wings : 42 mm.
