( 35.1 ) 



inangulated ; first median at two-thirds, second just before the end, third from 

 the end of cell; lower radial from centre of discocellular ; ujiper from upper angle; 

 last four subcostals stalked from siiortly before the angle of cell, the exti-etnit}' of 

 the subcostal nervure being bent inwards from tlie origin of the stalk, as is that 

 of the median nervure from the second median nerviile ; first subcostal from cell, soon 

 anastomosing with the costal, as does the second also. Hindwings with discocellular 

 straight, the radial rising from its centre ; costal running close alongside of sub- 

 costal for half the cell ; first subcostal nervule and second median each from just 

 before angle of cell. 



Type : Oenochlora impei'ialis sp. now 



The costal neuration of the hindwing forbids this genus being referred to the 

 sul)family Geometriiiae, as the green coloration of the type-species would obviously 

 suggest ; while the presence of a radial in the hindwing similarly prevents its 

 admission to the Ennorainae. I cannot, however, identify it witli any of the 

 genera of the Oenochvominae as given by Mr. Meyrick. 



45. Oenochlora imperialis sp. nov. 



<S. For&ivings : dark apple-gieeu, the costal region with short transverse 

 purple striae ; the lines darker green ; first at one-third, curved and wavy ; second 

 at three-fourths, parallel to hindmargin, crenulated ; cell-s[)ot puri>le ; fringe green. 



Hiwhi-'i iirjs : like forewings, without first line, and with the co.stal region 

 broadly pale rosy, the inner margin white. 



Head, thora.x, and abdomen green ; tips of palpi rosy ; antennae ochreous. 

 Underside dull orange-grey, with a broad purple submarginal fascia, tlie margin 

 it.self becoming whitish green ; cell-.spots purple. 



In the ? the cell-spots are absent; the lines hardly visible ; and the forewings 

 liave a pale yellow oval spot edged with red between the second and third medians ; 

 while the abdomen bears a purple blotch in the middle. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



One 6, one ?, from Cedar Bay, t'ooklown, t^ueensland (.\. S. .Meek). 



4(i. Oenochroma decolorata sp. nov. 



Forocivf/s : grey, with fine darker iiroralion; inner line reddish and only 

 distinct on costa ; cell->pot dark grey, indi~tiii<-t, followed l)y an ob.scure oliliipie 

 central shade; outer line )iale ferruginous, edged internally with whitish; fringe 

 puq)lish. 



HindwiiKjs : with an antemedian pur|ilish line, and a median line ferruginous 

 with paler internal edge, as in forewings, the ferruginous tint passing into purplish 

 towards apex, which is itself tinged with purplish. 



Underside whiter, the outer line njarked by vein-dots ; the )mrple spot on 

 inner margin much smaller than in vlnnrta Gnen.: hindwings white along inner 

 margin; the hindmargin broadly ting<'(l with Icrrngincms. Face, thorax, and 

 abdomen grey, the latter paler. 



Three examples from Cedar Kay, Cooktown, (Queensland (.V. S. ."Meek). 



15esides the difference in coloration, the present species ditt'ers from f). vlnaria 

 (fuen. in having the hindmargin of hindwings distinctly curved and the apex obtuse, 

 whereas in vinarin the margin is straight and the apex produced.
