( Jf'l ) 



predominantly red-brown, mixed in places with olive ; costal margin broadi}' olive, 

 black-spotted, narrowing distally ; extreme base mostly white ; some subbasal 

 whitish blotches between the veins ; median area mostly white, speckled with 

 red-brown and with large red-brown discal spot ; lines darker red-brown, the first 

 from costa at one-fourth, with bilobed distad projection in cell and single pro- 

 jections behind M and SM- ; second from costa at five-eighths, strongly oblique 

 outwards to W, then parallel with termen, dentate on the veins, especially IV, M' 

 and SM- : subterminal line thick, white, dentate, bent basewards behind R', almost 

 interrupted on R', which is here olive-shaded, behind this vein again as near 

 termen as at R', then slightly incurved behind M- ; a black blotch proximally to 

 the snbterminal between li" and M'-, an olive one distally between the radials ; 

 terminal line thick, black, strongly interrupted at veins; fringe grey, bisected by 



a thick blackish line. Hindwing with the principal tuft of raised scales long, 



even-margined, white at its base, tips reaching to end of cell, under them some 

 blackish shading ; a postmedian dark line starting from costa opposite subterminal 

 of forewing, lunulate-dentate to R', straight to R^ in middle of wing, there bent 

 distad and slightly interrupted, then again straight, slightly curved distad at 

 abdominal margin ; a thick white line accompanies this line distally, and beyond 

 it there is some black shading, especially in abdominal half of wing ; subterminal 

 line strongly zigzag at first and rather ill-defined, from R' white and formed 

 nearly as on forewing ; terminal line less interrupted than on forewing ; fringe as 

 that of forewing. 



Under-surface whitish suffused with grey ; both wings with very broad black 

 band in distal half, shading oft' somewhat lighter to the termen itself; base of 

 l)oth wings suffused with ochreous yellow, extending irregularly along the veins; 

 forewing with large oval black cell-spot, hindwing with discocellulars weakly 

 marked with grey, somewhat as in muscosaiiu Guen. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, up to :?.")00 ft., 

 October— December lOlfJ (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Readily distinguished by the shape of the postmedian and good development 

 of the snbterminal line, the long and regular hair-scales of the hindwing and other 

 character.s, as well as by the shape. Third joint of palpus rather shorter than in 

 most of the species. In the forewing S(I' is connected with (J by a moderate, 

 oblirjue bar, and R- arises from near R'. The broad black border of forewing 

 beneath shows no trace of the white spots which are conspicuous in most of the 

 species; the comparative dulness of the underside re('alls //I'/xcnsnria. almost as 

 much as the emilinrm group; eiridicoma Wan-. {Nov. Zool. vi. p. 18), from the 

 Solomons, is near it in the {)ostmedian line, etc., but of a quite different colour, 

 with emiliaria-Uke underside, longer third joint of palpus, and longer hindwing,

6, 00 mm. ; ?, 54-58 mm. Structure, shape and general facies of the nt/ii- 

 fuiiaria-turneri group, the ty|)ical section of Aeolochroma. Face in upper half 

 yellow-greiai, narrowly red-brown above ; in lower half red-brown, very narrowly 

 whitish green below, raljius red-brown, jialer bcnc^ath. Head green, slightly 

 mixed with whitish and with red-brown. Aiitcnnal shaft nnl-brown, fascicles of 

 cilia in cJ about as long as its diameter. Thorax green, piita^'ia red-brown, slightly 

 variegated with wliitish and souK^liiiies with green, Abdoii|en above varjed red*
