Forewing with a black spot closing the cell, a spot on costa near 

 base, a dot below origin of 7, two spots in cellules 6 and 7, small 

 apical spots as on upperside and continued as a row of oblong spots 

 from above 5 to below vein 2, only separated by the veins, two 

 spots on inner margin, a faint spot at tornus. Hindwing as on 

 upperside, and with a small spot in middle of cell. 



Head and thorax buff, the latter with a black mesial line and 

 greyish below. Palpi, side of frons, fore coxae on inner side, mid 

 and fore tarsi and tibiae, and hind tarsi black. Mid and fore femora 

 and fore coxae on outside orange. Hind tibiae and femora pale

27. Diacrisia biagi angiana, subsp. nov. 

 (Plate LXI, fig. 3.) 



cj. Paler than biagi, B.-B.,* and with reduced spots. Forewing 

 with spots in cell and on veins 2-5 much reduced, and the pair of 

 small spots below cell at base are absent. A large costal spot 

 before middle of cell, another at end of cell. Spots on hindwing 

 reduced, and especially the one at end of cell. 



A series of 11 specimens. 



A specimen in the Mus. Brit, from Ninay Valley, Arfak 

 Mountains, is intermediate. The forewing has vestigial 

 costal spots and reduced apical spots. 



28. Diacrisia hampsoni, sp. nov. 

 (Plate LXI, fig. 5.) 



cj. Ground-colour pale buff. Upperside of forewing with large 

 velvety black patches. Three on the costa all reaching to below 

 the cell and the outer to beyond end of cell ; the first two at base 

 are merged together, the third is much larger and is slightly separate. 

 A square-shaped patch before the apex, a smaller one at the apex, 

 a triangular one below it on the outer margin, an oblong marginal 

 spot near tornus, a discal patch in cellule 2. On the inner margin 

 are 4 rounded patches, one subterminal and separate, the others 

 merged together. A spot at extreme base of costa and an orange spot 

 below it. Hindwing with basal and inner-marginal area washed with 

 yellow ochreous. A rounded black marginal spot on first submedian. 



Underside of forewing as above, spots not velvety and all separate. 

 Some orange-coloured hair at the base, and inner margin faintly 

 yellowish. Hindwing orange at base, anal spot as above.
