one in tlie middle of DC ; extreme distal margin and fringe ])ale. Hbulwing 



slightly elongate in the direction of tornus, termen almost inappreciably bent at 

 R' ; cell short (scarcely' two-fifths), M' well stalked; no proximal markings, cell- 

 spot slight, simple, distal series and termen as on forewing. 



Uuder-snrface strongly tlnshed with crimson (at base of costa of forewiug deep 

 crimson), leaving only the apical part, termen and posterior margin of forewing and 

 all the margins of hindwing very pale green.

Very like Prasinocyma (J) papuetuis Warr. (Toe. Zool. xiv. p. 134), bnt 

 distinct in the absence of tail to the hindwing, the red upper part of face and rather 

 more extended red blnsh on hindwing. 



85. Prasinocyma syntyche s]iec. nov. 



S ? , 23-2(i mm. Closely similar to oxi/crntra Meyr. (Proc. Linn. Soc. New 

 S. Wales (2) ii. p. 888), on an average smaller, ? palpns rather longer, costal margin 

 of forewing more reddish at base, the broad white costal border afterwards under- 

 lined with yellow, in apical third (or more) more broadly with red than in any 

 oxycentra ; distal border of both wings more broadly red, completely separating 

 the terminal white vein-dots from the green ground-colour. Tiie discal dots are 

 also on an average somewhat larger, the bend in the termen of hindwing at R^ 

 generally slighter bnt varying somewhat.)

8fi. Prasinocyma votiva spec. nov. 



S, 28-30 mm. ; ? 28 mm. Face and palpus green ; third joint of palpus in 

 ? moderately elongate. Vertex white, occiput green, a narrow band of deep 

 golden yellow separating the two colours. Antennal shai't white, towards the tip 

 red. Thorax and alidomen green above, whitish beneath. Foreleg reddish yellow 

 on innerside, the coxa green. 



Wings yellow-green. ForewiiK/ with costal margin at base reddish, the rest 



jiure white, in jiroximal half posteriorly, in distal half anteriorly edged narrowly 

 with golden yellow ; lines pale, lunulate-dentate, very indistinct except on the 

 veins, where the teeth are minutely white ; cell-dot mixed blackish and red ; 

 terminal line consisting of dark red dashes between the veins, thus intermediate 

 between the spots of margiiicpunctata Warr. and the little-interrupted line of 



latirostiitfi; fringe deep golden yellow, paler at ti])S. llindiriinj with termen 



slightly bent at R-'' ; cell-dot, postmedian, termen and fringe as on forewing. 



Under-snrface whitish ; forewing anteriorly pale green, this colour nearly 

 filling the cell but narrowing somewhat distally, the extreme costal edge yellow.
