 88. Prasinocyma perpolhita sjiec. nov.

S, ;W mm. ; ?, :!l-o5 mm. Differs from poUiita. Warr. (c?) = hicornutn Warr. 

 {Xor. Znnl. xi.x. ]). 73) in having tlie postmedian line of both wings markedly 

 dentate (in ;;o//«?« onl\' faintly wavy), both lines on forewing accompanied by (or 

 even almost replaced by) red shading, nearly the entire median area of this wing 

 clouded with fnscous-reddisli. The size seems to be on an average rather larger. 

 I can find no other distinctions. The structure agrees ; palpus in both sexes with 

 terminal joint rather short (especially in the c?) ; c? hindtibia strongly dilated. 



Upper Setekwa Kiver, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, 20UU — 3U0U ft., 

 September 1010 (A. S. Meek). Type (i) and ? in coll. Rothschild. There is a cj 

 from near Oetakwa River in coll. Brit. Mus., and Warren's ? poUtita from the Upper 

 Aroa River, British New Guinea, also belongs here. 



Mr. Warreu in his description of polluta mixed two forms vrhich he has since 

 recognised as species. The possibility is not absolutely excluded that his first idea 

 may prove correct, in spite of the remarkable difference in the shape of the 

 j)Ostmediau line. Unfortunately his type specimen (the c? ) is of the form (or 

 species) which he has recently named biconiuta, and the ? — belonging to the form 

 which he is now regarding as polluta — was nameless. The dimorphism, if such it 

 be, is in any case not sexual. 



89. Prasinocyma intermedia approximata subsp. nov. 



S ?, 38-4-3 mm. Differs from typical intermedia Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiv. p. 131) 

 in its larger average size and in the antemedian lino of the forewing. This is about 

 4 mm. distant from the base both at costal and jiosterior margins, and is angled 

 outwards on the median vein. The postmedian line is rather broader, the red 

 discal mark better developed, both above and beneath. The angled autemediau 

 line and the size bring it remarkably near to I'ltistriga Warr. {Noc. Zool. xiii. 

 ]). 84), in wliich, however, the first line is mori; oblique (from costal margin at 

 3 mm. to posterior margin at .i ram.) and which lacks the pale yellow dorsal line of 

 abdomen, which intermedia shares with most of the group.

 collection. 



90. Prasinocyma ruficulmen sjiec. nov. 



i , 4.S ram. Face green. Palpus red, beneath whitish. Vertex and base of 

 antenna snow-white, tlie former bounded behind by a red line ; occipnt green. 

 Thorax and abdomen above green, with a long mediodorsal ridge of brick-red ; 

 beneath greenish white. Legs pale, the anterior ])air darkened above and on 

 inner side; hindtibia dilated with hair-pencil, spurs short, tarsus about two-thirds 

 tibia. 



Wing-shape and aspect of coiisobriita Warr. {Nov. Zool.xix. p. 75, as C/ilorn- 

 r/troma). Whitish green, densely irrorated with blue-green,, the veins darker and 



more olivaceons. Forewing with costal edge red, much paler from just before 



first line to beyond cell ; lines rather thick, orange-red ; first from before one- 

 fifth costa, oblique outwards to SC, thence straight to hindmargin at about one- 

 fourth, weakly pale-edged proximally ; secund from SC* at beyond three-fourths, 

 almost straight, nearly parallel with termen, white-margined distally ; cell-spot
