80 NOYITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 



curved line at about three-fifths, accompanied distally by a vague narrow pale 

 band, which contains a row of indistinct spots ; vague pale spots midway be- 

 tween this and termen, placed between SC and R', between R'- and M' and 

 between M» and SM= ; fringe pale, proximally with distinct dots at vein-ends. 



Hvndwing with termen subcrenulate, not noticeably bent at R^ ; M' not 



stalked ; cell-dot white ; markings even more indeterminate than on forewing. 



Underside almost without the irroration ; cell-dot of forewing smaller 

 than above, more vinaceous, that of hindwing almost obsolete ; forewing with 

 base of costal region vinaceous and with traces of a curved postmedian row of 

 interneural dots ; both wings with ill-defined vinaceous distal border, contain- 

 ing a narrow band of the ground-colour, proximally to which the vinaceous 

 shade is narrow and somewhat interrupted.

 2 SS in coll. Tring Museum. 



More rese nbles strigata Warr. (Novitates Zoologicae, ix. 360), from the 

 Solomons, than any of the more westerly species, but has the termen of forewing 

 less oblique, the markings much more shadowy and the cell-dot of forewing 

 larger. 



9. Chrysocraspeda e-jryodia sp. nov. 



?, 24 mm. Face whitish, with a narrow deep red band above. Palpus 

 liiLxed with red on outer side. Antenna nearly simple, with the usual thicken- 

 ing and roughening of the basal segments. Head, thorax and abdomen above 

 purple. 



Foreioing proximally greyish purple and with a large, broad-oval subapical 

 area of the same colour ; boundary of proximal patch slightly sinuous, from 

 costal margin at about 3 mm. to hindmargin at nearly 6 mm. ; subapical patch 

 slenderly edged with redder pui-ple, about 4 mm. wide, extending from SC 

 nearly to M', its proximal and posterior edges gently curved, its distal edge 

 nearly reaching termen in a tooth at R', and again at M', shallowly sinuate inward 

 between the teeth ; the rest of the wing chrome-yellow, at costal margin and 



anterior half of distal margin deeper chrome. Hindwing rather elongate and 



with termen rather strongly convex, but not noticeably bent at M' ; purple, 

 with an extremely minute white, slightly dark-edged cell-dot and a deep chrome- 

 yellow distal border of about 1 ;;iiii. width, narrowing slightly at M'. 



Underside similar, the yellow paler, hindwing with a narrow white cell- 

 mark extending from SC nearly to M. 



Ninay Valley, Central Arfak Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, 3,500 ft., 

 February and March 1909. Type in coll. Tring Museum. 



Except in shape and in its much broader yello\^- band, this species is near 

 inundata Warr. (Novitates Zoologicae, v. 238), which also occurs in the same 

 locality. 



10. Chrysocraspeda auristigma sp. nov. 



?, 21-23 mm. Similar to aiirimargo Warr. {Novitates Zoologicae, iv. 

 216), from North Queensland, of which it may possibly prove a local race. Face 

 whitish, only narrowly red above. 



Forewing rather broader than in aurimargo, with a rather large, long-oval
