190 GEOMETRID MOTHS 



61. Phthonoloba leptomita sp. n. 



9 40 mm. 



Palpus with second joint longer than diameter of eye, the 

 scales projecting somewhat less than in the type species 

 and hengiietana Schultze (Philipp. Jonrn. Sci., v, p. 165, t. 1, 

 f. 5). Head and body pale yellowish-green, the thorax above 

 fuller green. Antenna ochreous. Fore and middle legs with 

 some dark markings. Abdomen fairly robust for this group ; 

 some faint, cloudy subdorsal spots. 



Fore wing light vello wish-olive, intersected bv creamv-white 

 (in places pale yellow) lines ; a moderate black cell-mark ; 

 some fuscous irroration darkening the costal end of most of the 

 green bands, the first three bands between M^ and SM^, the 

 proximal subterminal region between the radials and behind 

 M^, etc. ; the principal white lines subbasal, antemedian and 

 postmedian ; subbasal incurved behind cell, very oblique out- 

 ward to hind margin; antemedian almost interrupted at SC, 

 then slightly wavy, very slightly incurved between cell-fold 

 and SM" ; postmedian interrupted behind SC^. reappearing 

 slightly more distally at W, slightly wavy, forming two 

 outward lunules between K^ and M" (the posterior very 

 shallow), behind M^ perpendicular, at hind margin oblique 

 outward; subterminal line extremely fine, rather deeply 

 indented at SC^, R^ and M', running out to termen in front 

 of SM^ ; the other lines also very slender, much interrupted, 

 chiefly reduced to vein-dots. Hind wing very pale yellowish ; 

 a cell-dot, an undulate postmedian line and a distal band, all 

 as in hengiietana but very much fainter, the iv^o former greyish, 

 the band more olive. 



Both wings beneath pale yellow-green (or gxeen-yellow) the 

 fore wing with the markings weak, the hind wing with cell-dot 

 and line slightly stronger than above.

Not mentioned in literature since the original pubrication, 

 but I have seen a few examples from the mountains of Borneo 

 and the Malay Peninsula.
