Heterocera from Dutch New Guinea. 59 
Notodontide. 
Stauropus chloriolus, sp. n. 
(Pl. I. fig. 15.) 
Near dubiosus*, B.-Bkr., and mixvtat, B.-Bkr., but distin- 
guished from the former by the-black markings and green 
scaling of the fore wing, and from the latter especially by 
the darker fore wing and increased green irroration. This 
aud other New Guinea Stauropus coustitute a section of the 
genus having the antennz of 2 pectinated, the comb being 
nearly as long asin the g. The hind wing with the disco- 
cellular oblique and not sharply angled. 
9. Upperside—Fore wing with dark reddish-brown 
ground-colour, irrorated with bright green scaling, especially 
at base and at distal margin. A thick black basal line and 
an antemedian line nearly parallel to it; a faint and oblique 
discal line, not distinct above vein 3, and nearly touching 
ante-median line at inner margin; a green lunulate disco- 
cellular spot; a heavy, black, irregular post-discal line, 
angled at veins 5 and 4; a well-defined black subterminal 
line, its lower part below vein 2 formed by two separate 
lines, the lower more proximal than the upper, crossing 
cellules 2 and le. Hind wing rufous-brown; costal edge 
dark brown to the middle, followed by a streak and a 
quadrate apical patch, as in other members of the genus, of 
dark brown. 
Underside rufous-brown, paler in the basal area. 
Antennz with comb black, shaft rufous-brown ; palpi 
rufous-brown, mixed with green on inside ; head and thorax 
grey-white, mixed with brown ; abdomen, pectus, and legs 
rufous-brown. 
Length of fore wing 25 mm.

Slauropus leucocraspedus, sp. n. 
(PL. IL. fig. 2.) 
Allied to mediobrunnea, B.-Bkr.{, but easily distinguished 
by the broad white distal margin of the fore wing. 
2. Upperside.—Fore wing with proximal two-thirds 
deep reddish brown with black markings. A  baso-costal 
grey-white patch tinged with brown; a heavy, black, oblique
