neio Species of GeometriJse, 703 



dark shade present, thickened towards costa, postmediau 

 darker than above and followed by a diffuse dark cloud, 

 which is least distinct towards the costa. 



Kelniscott, West Australia, 27th May, 1909 (G. F. 

 Berthoud). Type in coll. G. Lyell, Gisborne. 



Nearly related to H. incongrua, Walk. List Lep. Ins. x. 

 p. 353, but differing, apart from the wing-rnarkiug-s, in less 

 prominent frons and somewhat longer third joint of palpus. 



Sarcinodes suhvirgaia, sp. n. 



? . 60-63 mm. — Face grey, pinkish above. Palpus 

 grey, sprinkled with pinkish, almost wholly pinkish beneath. 

 Head and body concolorous with wings. Build very robust, 

 as in subcarnea. Fore wing pink, slightly mixed with grey, 

 costal edge narrowly whitish, irregularly marked with grey; 

 aiitemedian line very faint, somewhat darker from costa to 

 S(J, where it is sharply angled, subsequently marked with 

 a fuscous dot on ISi and on SM ; median line more distinct, 

 lunulate-dentate, angled near costa; postmedian firm, dark 

 olive-fuscous or blackish, running almost straight from apex 

 to inner margin at three-fifths ; the intermediate area mostly 

 filled in with red-brown, gradually darkening and becoming 

 more mixed with olive as it approaches the submedian ; 

 faint traces of a deeply lunulate-dentate subterminal pale 

 line, distally to which the ground-colour is again some- 

 what red-brown shaded ; extreme termen and fringe dark 

 red-brown. Hind wing with the median line becomiuir 

 antemedian, the postmedian crossing the wing at scarcely 

 beyond middle ; coloration much as in fore wing, but with 

 stronger hoary dusting distally to postmedian, especially on 

 the teeth of the subterminal. Underside of fore wing very 

 variegated, pink and olive-grey, with sparse blackish scales, 

 costal area in part paler, a thick, dark olive-grey subcostal 

 line nearly to apex ; an oblique cell-mark and distinct 

 median line, the latter just beyond cell, touching posterior 

 end of cell-mark and followed by some dark shades ; a 

 postmedian series of blackish vein-dots from costa at four- 

 fifths, curved at first, but mostly running just proximally 

 to the line of upperside; distal area somewhat darkened and 

 slightly mixed with ochreous. Underside of hind wing 

 with tiie dark shading increased, absorbing nearly all the 

 wing, except the base, apex, and a narrow central band con- 

 taining the series of black vein-dots ; this central band 

 shaded with pale ochreous, at least in the posterior half ; a 

 rather strong wash of deep ochreous near termen between 

 IV and R^
