Mt. Poi, -2000 feet— 1 cT ; Mt. Penrissen, 2000 feet— 1 cf . 



The Mt. Penrissen cf helongs to a dark aberration, not 

 uncommon in the Malayan subregion, in which the ground- 

 colour is somewhat more fuscous than in the typical form 

 and the white lines on the hind wing are reduced to a single 

 postmedial and subterniinal. It is just possible that this is 

 really a distinct species, but it seems to agree perfectly in 

 structure with geometroides. In the Joicey collection from 

 Ceylon, India, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, New Guinea,

99. Adapsa insolida sp. n. 



9 ;:i8-41 nun. 



Antenna minutely serrate on distal third, clothed with 

 fine short bi-istles and extremely short cilia. Palpus with 

 segment 2 well over twice diameter of eye, moderately 

 scaled in front, slightly thickened with scales on proximal 

 half behind; segment 3 accuminate, fully two-thirds length 

 of 2. Coloration somewhat as in geometroides but slightly 

 more fuscous in tone. Markings somewhat as in the dark 

 aberration of geometroides, but fore wing with discal spot 

 more elongate, scarcely or very narrowly white-marked ; 

 postmedial line single, strongly bent outward and dentate on 

 veins P" to ^P and on SM^ ; subterniinal almost equally 

 well-defined throughout, somewhat more strongly bent out- 

 ward behind SC^ and P" than in geometroides ; terminal 

 white patch reduced to a dot between SC* and SC^. Hind 

 wing with the termen more bent at M^ than in geometroides, 

 with the lines also slightly more bent at middle. Underside 

 somewhat as above but with discal lunules on both wings 

 more broadly white ; fore wing with posterior half of 

 subterminal line weaker.
