subbasal green shading nearly obsolete, on the contrary, a distinct antemedian line 

 present. Inn nlate- dentate, the teeth pointing basewards on M and SM- ; no dark 

 green spot on M ; distal si)()t black ; postmedian line with the tooth on R' as 

 prominent as those on R' R-, and M' ; that on M-', on the contrary, mnch less 



prominent, the inward curve on snbmedian fold thns appearing less deeji. 



Hindwing with toncbing cell at a point only, then rapidly diverging ; black 

 discal spot and postmedian line nearly as on forcwiiig. 



Mount Goliath, February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Tyjte in coll. Rothschild. 



80. Prasinocyma signifera superba snbsp. nov. 



? , 31-32 mm. Larger than typical sic/nifera Warr. (Noc. Zool. x. p. 360), 

 from the Aroa River, and recently obtained from the Oetakwa River ; discal mark 

 of forewing slightly, of hindwing ranch larger (2'5 mm. x TS mm.), the latter 

 without white circumscription, almost entirely ochreous, strongly overlaid with 

 bright red, the scattered blackish atoms about as in the type form.

81. Prasinocyma geometrica spec. nov. 



S, 29 mm. Face, fillet, and antenna whitish. Palpus slender, moderately 

 elongate ; green above, w^hite beneath. Crown of head, dorsal surface of thorax, 

 and base of abdomen green ; abdomen posteriorly more shaded with fnscons. 



Forewing with distal margin faintly subcrenulate, more oblique posteriorly to 

 M' than anteriorly ; subdiaphanous grey-green, the basal area and the region of the 

 cell-spot somewhat dusted with fuscous ; a fuscous spot near base, another on SC 

 before first line ; first line fuscous, deeply and irregularly lunulate-dentate, some- 

 what interrupted, only reaching from SG to posterior margin, deeply dentate 

 inwards on M and rather less deeply on SM- ; a rather large roundish fuscous spot 

 on cell-fold close to end of cell, almost immediately followed by abiangulate fuscous 

 mark which occupies DC" and part of DG^, then runs outward, is sharply angled 

 again on the radial fold, and terminates at tiie posterior extremity of cell ; post- 

 median line strongly and irregularly lunulate-dentate, darker grey-green, only 

 marked with fuscous at the extremities of a few of the teeth between the veins ; 

 arising 4 mm. before apex, strongly ontbent at R' and with a very deep cnrve 



inwards behind M- ; termen with a row of fuscons spots at vein-ends. Hindwing 



crenulate, with a slightly sharper point at R^ ; discal, postmedian, and terminal 

 markings as on forewing. 



Underside whitish green, the discal markings faintly showing through. 



Mount Goliath, February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Perhaps nearest to caniola Warr. {^Nov. Zool. x. p. 309), but abundantly 

 distinct. The peculiarly formed discal marks, with the aid of some illusion from 

 the fuscous dusting, suggest in some aspects the typical " looping " posture of a 

 Geometrid larva, the roundish spot representing the head, the biangulate mark the 

 body. 



82. Prasinocyma vagrans spec nov. 



<?, 28 mm. Closely related to vagabunda Warr. (A'(?«. Zool. x. p. 301) in 

 structure, colour, and markings. Much smaller, of a slightly fuller green, the 

 markings rather more heavily ])unctuated in ])laces with rnst-colonr ; postmedian
