 palpi above brown-red, whitish below, rnder.-ide uniform electric-blue; the fringes 

 dark bro\vu. 



Kxpanse of wings : 42 mm. 



Two (56 from Koon Island, New (iuinea. 



The absence of one of the median spurs of the hind tibiae of the <?, recorded as 

 one of the characteristics of the genus, Xo\ . ZooL. 111. p. 288, does not appear to be 

 constant. The present si)ecies has all four spurs. 



71. Chrysochloroma subalbida sp. nov. 



Fomrings : apple-green, slightly varied with whitish, the costa narrowly pale ; 

 the lines paler ; first at one-third, slightly curved ; second at three-fourths, straight, 

 parallel to hindmargin ; cell-spot ferruginous. 



Hindiciiif/s : with outer line curved; cell-spot much larger than in forewing?, 

 elongated, ferruginous, with darker brown centre. Fringe in both wings white, with a 

 tine ferruginous liasal line. 



Face and palpi ochreous lielow, rufous above; vertex white ; antennae whitish ; 

 thorax and abdomen green, the latter with small white dots on back at the edge of 

 the segments. Under.-^ide pale green, the costa of both wings broadly whitish. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



One t^, one ? , from Cedar Bay, south of Cooktowu, Queensland (A. S. Meek). 



Distinguished from C. meeki from Fergussou Island by the different coloured 

 underside. 



72. Chrysochloroma subalbida rubritincta subsi). no\. 



A single ? from Huudioldt IJay, New Guinea, must be regarded as, at least, a 

 ^ubspecies. In this example the discal spot of hindwings is a very large oblong 

 ferruginous blotch ; the apical angle of hindwings is marked with a large brown-red 

 blotch ; the dark brown basal line of fringes is much more developed, especially in 

 the forewings, where the lunules that form it encroach upon the ground-colour of the 

 wing, that above the anal angle forming a narrow brown-red blotch; the whitish 

 fringes are tinged with red-brown opposite tlie veins.

Fwewinijs: triangular; oo.sta straight from base, curved before apex, which is 

 produced and subfalcate ; hindmargin faintly sinuous, with an almost imperceptible 

 elbow at end of second median ; anal angle rectangular. 



JIiii(hohirjs : with inner margin elongated; the hindmargin bluntly elbowed at 

 the third median, above which it is faintiv sinuous. 



Antennae of cj subserrate, ciliated ; face slightly iirominmt ; [laliii short, 

 oblicjuely porrect ; second joint squamous beneath, third short, blunt; tongue jjresent; 

 hind tibiae of S rather thickened, with four short .spurs. Frenulum present. 



Xeiirntion: forewings, cell not half as long as wing; discocellular angidaled. 

 the lower arm oblique, the upper bent in middle; first median at three-fourths; 

 second and third shortly .stalked; lower radial from the bend in the upper arm of 

 discocellular: uppcM- radial .stalked with last four subcostals from end of cell ; first
