beneath with the apical dark hlotch apiJi-eciably narrower. Head and thorax above 

 rather more strongly mixed with green. 



Near Oetalcwa River, Snow Monntains, Dntch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December 191U (A. S. Meek). Type and paratype in coll. Rothschild. 



Not unlikely a good species, as no intermediates are known, and the ground- 

 colour may be significant. On the other hand, Warren has described (Nor. ZnnJ. xix. 

 p. (18) as al/sotia ab. oxulhata a somewhat similar form, but still more creamy than 

 poli/leucotfs, and with more green than adornata ; and there is just a possibility 

 that one polymorjihic species {ahsona Warr.) may prove to cover all the forms. 



35. Anisozyga mimicaria spec. nov. 



(?, 28 mm. Related to ahuona Warr. {S<i(. Zool. iii. p. 287), but considerably 

 smaller, the costal edge of forewing less darkened, all the white markings extended ; 

 in particular the large midcostal spot of forewing is continued as a narrow dentate 

 band to posterior margin, the first outer band is broader and uninterrupted, the 

 succeeding band of white marks enlarged. On the other hand, the red-brown 

 subapical spot of hindwing is considerably reduced, both above and beneath, on 

 the upper surface restricted to two verv small broken spots, one on each side 

 of SC-.

30. Anisozyga stellifera spec. nov. 



(?, 3U-36 mm. Head green, somewhat spotted with white. Palpus green, 

 whitish beneath and at tip. Abdomen dorsally green, spotted with white, and with 

 a small blackish spot towards anal end. Pectus, pencil of hairs, and underside 

 of abdomen white. Foretibia and tarsus fuscous spotted with white. 



Wings semitransparent green, of the same shade as in the fascinans group, 

 to which it evidently belongs. Usually larger than utellata Warr. {Nov. Znol. xiv. 

 p. 12'.)), markings nearly as in that species, the apical, subapical, and mid- 

 terminal white spots of forewing smaller, the discal spot usually wanting or greatly 

 reduced, only in a single example well developed. No white fillet. 



Mount Goliath, January — February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type and seven otiior

Smaller than normal ahaoiui Warr., more strongly white-dotted on veins, 

 wanting the large discal patitli, snlmiargiMal bands rediu-eil, subapical spot of 

 hindwing smaller. 



37. Anisozyga iridescens (Warr.). 



Warren (iVoc. Zool. xiii. p. si) described this species from the $ only. A 

 series from Mount (ioliatli, .January — -February 1011, includes two ? ?, which I 

 have no hesitation in referring liere, the agreement being complete except in the 

 dark dorsum of abdomen and presence of double dark spot on posterior margin 

 <if forewing at about two-fifths, and of dark terminal blotches on both wings. 

 That of the forewing is |iurplish-fiiscous iiroxinially, becoming more whitish 

 distally, is about 1-5 mm. in width ant<n-iorly, its proximal margin curving basewards 

 from R' to beyond R^, then receding to termen at M', only some very narrow 

 terminal shading remaining puridish-fuscous posteriorly ; that of the hindwing is 

 similarly formed, but a little narrower. .1. ri'durta Warr. (.Vw(\ Zool. xix. j). 70)
