Ileterocera from New Guinea. 451 



Hypercydas albaserrati, sp. n. 



? . Head, thorax, and abdomen deep orange-colour ; 

 antennae and legs black. Both wings rufous, each with a 

 subterminal lanceolate white stripe, veins slightly paler than 

 ground up to the white stripe, a very obscure trace of a 

 darker median line across the primaries only. 



Expanse 66 mm. 



IJab. Biagi, British New Guinea. 



Type in my collection. 



Nearly allied to H. turneri, B-B., but the shape of the 

 subterminal line differs and it is white not yellow, and there 

 is no spot in the cell as in that species. 



Geometridae. 



Bordeta divergens, sp. n. 



? . Head and thorax black, collar deep cream-colour ; 

 abdomen : proximal segment entirely clear yellow, rest oi* 

 abdomen clear yellow with a broad black dorsal stripe and a 

 brown ventral stripe. Primaries black, with three deep 

 cream spots, a large oblique one across the end of the cell, a 

 smaller subcostal one midway between it and the apex, 

 and a still smaller subterminal one between veins 3 and 4. 

 Secondaries deep black with the whole of the central area 

 orange from the base, extending to the inner margin and 

 along vein 1 and well above the costal vein, gradually 

 narrowing towards the termen, suddenly contracting on each 

 side at a quarter from the termen, but at veins 3 to 5 the 

 orange reaches nearly up to the termen. 



Underside as the upper. 



Expanse 60 mm. 



Hab. Mount Kebea, British New Guinea, 3600 feet, 

 July. 



Type in my collection. 



This species is near fulvata, but is no doubt distinct. 



Bordeta flavoplagata, sp. n. 



? . Head black, collar yellow ; thorax black ; abdomen 

 black with fine yellow intersections. Both wings black. 

 Primaries with three yellow spots, an oval one at the end of 

 the cell, a smaller subcostal one near the apex, and a smaller 

 one below it near the termen. Secondaries with a large 

 yellow area from vein 6 to 1 extending well beyond the cell,
