Probably only a recurrent aberration, as I have seen virtually typical nudti- 

 color 6 from the Ninay Valley, but possibly a prevailing race in I)ntch New 

 Guinea. 



'~i. Hypodoxa leprosa incarnata subsp. nov. 



(J?. Dift'crs from typical /cjjrom Warr. (jVov. Zoo/, xiv. p. lL'4) in tlie ? lieing 

 entirely deprived of green coloration. The paler parts (subbasal and median areas 

 of forewing and parts of the distal area of both wings) are of the same pinkish 

 white shade ('' jiinkish ochreous '' of Warren's description) as the costal half of the 

 median area of the hind wing. The blackish band-like markings jiroximaily to 

 the first line and distally to the second look rather more pnrple and less heavy 

 than iu the type form. Under-surface of forewing rather brighter pink than in 

 the type form, the distal blackish area not quite so broad. The colour of the head 

 and body is similarly changed, the face pinkish above, bright orange below, not 

 crossed, as in Irprosa leprom, by a blackish bar. 



The (? differs much less from the tyjie form, preserving a general green tone 

 though much more mixed with pink ; face with traces of a rafons bar in the position 

 occupied by the blackish bar of the type form ; the dark markings heavier than 

 in the S leprosa Irprosa, the pale patch in the hindwing of ? Icproaa leprosa also 

 suggested.

'.^4. Hypodoxa lichenosa rufomixta miIisji. nov. 



1^?. Both sexes more mixed with rufous than in typical lic/ietwxa Warr. 

 {Sor. Zoo/, xiv. p. r»4). In the <S this rnl'ons admixture is most apparent in the 

 median area: longitudinal clouds, on the forewing across the cell-spot and 

 posteriorly to vein M, on the hindwing across cell-spot. In addition all the 

 ])nrplc-fnscous marks are intensified and slightly sjjrinkled with rufous, and there 

 is a more distinct whitish-green line or narrow shade distally to the postmedian. 

 In the median area of the hindwing of the ? (which, as in the type form, is broadly 

 hoary) the increase of rufous is very ajiparent (excejiting a narrow hoary band 

 j)roximally to the raised scales), also in a snbbasal band of the forewing, as well 

 as a brightening of the ordinary dark markings. Underside nearly as in the tyjie 

 form, bnt without yellow admixture at base and abdominal margin of hindwing. 



Mount Goliath, February 1911 (A. S. Meek), type (c?) in coll. Uothschild. 

 The ? (slightly worn) is from the same locality in January. 



25. Hypodoxa ruptilinea spec. nov. 



?,55mm. Head and palpus ochreous, tinged with greenish, face mixed with 

 red-brown and fuscous scales. Antenna ochreous to beyond one-fourth. Thorax 

 above red-brown varied with olive, in front chielly olive and whitish, ends of 

 teculae mostly olive; licncath mostly greenish ochreous. Abdomen above red- 

 brown, mixed with white and varied in i)Iaces with olive; beneath ])aler. Legs 

 lin"ed with fuscous, especially inner side of foreleg ; foretibia above bright 

 ochreous ; all femora strongly haired. 



Forewing with termen becoming strongly obli(|ue, the wing thus apj)earing 

 spmewhat more elongate and parrower thau i" the sallies ; colours verj- varied,
