black, in middle of DC^, seated ou a curved red-brown mark which occupies the 

 whole of DC- — DC and projects a prouj^ along the base of R- ; fringe red, with 



small obscure dark spots at vein-ends. Uinihciny with lioth lines equally strong, 



nearly straight, similarly white-edged ; cell-sjmt rather small, dark green ; fringe as 

 on forewiug. 



Under-snrtace whitish green, witli postmedian line faintly indicated, forewing 

 with costal half dusted with brick-red to beyond middle, the dusting narrowing 

 off distally ; fringes brick-red with dark spots extending on to the vein-ends. 



? qnite like the i but larger, expanding about 58 mm. ; palpus scarcely longer 

 than in the c?. 



Ninay Valley, Central Arfak Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, 350t)ft., 

 November lOUS — January 19i)0. Type in coll. L. B. Front, also one from the 

 same locality in coll. Brit. Mns., and I have recently seen it from near Oetakwa 

 River, Snow Mountains, up to 35i)0 ft., October — December lOKi (A. S. Meek), in 

 coll. Rothschild. 



91. Prasinocyma corolla spec. nov. 



(? ? , 40-44 mm. Extremely like the preceding except in its considerably 

 smaller size. Dorsal line white, not red, less raised (more as in consobrina , etc.) ; 

 coloration slightly duller and more uniform, veins less contrasted, especially on 

 hindwing ; lines somewhat narrower and of a dnller red, first line not pale-edged 

 proximally, on forewing dentate at M and SM-, on hindwing less straight than in 

 ■ntfwidmen ; shading about discocellulars and base of R- on forewing broader but 

 rather ill-defined ; discal spot of hindwing rather darker; fringes whitish, slightly 

 tinged with reddish proximally, preceded only by a red terminal line, on which, 

 however, the dots at vein-ends are strong, blackish. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutcli New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type (c?) and ? in coll. Rothschild. 



Nearly related also to riijistriga Warr. (iVoe. Zool. xiii. p. 85), differing in the 

 less yellow-tinged dorsal line, greyer green wings, duller red markings, first line of 

 hindwing incurved in submedian area, presence of red shading distally to the cell- 

 mark of the forewing and especially in the termen and fringe ; in ntjistr/i/a the 

 terminal red line is weak, and not black-dotted on the veins, the fringe reddish with 

 a white line at base. Moreover tlie <? hindtibia is rather thicker in corolla, with 

 shorter teriuiual spurs. 



'■'-■ Gigantothea gigas flavimargo subsp. nov. 



J?, 38-40 mm. Smaller than typical ffiffaa Warr. (yVoc. Zool. x. p. 355), 

 costal edge and fringes clearer golden ochreous, the redder proximal part being 

 much narrowed, dorsal stripe of aljiloineu similarly clearer than in tlu^ fypo form ; 

 discal dots minute, green, less dark than in the type, lines fine, that of liindwing more 

 strongly bent in middle than in the type. Second joint of paljius green above (in 

 the tyjie brigiit ochreous). The cJ tibial armature is typical ; in minor Warr. (»^'o^•. 

 Zool. X. p. 355) the terminal spur, are longer, and minute medians are sometimes 

 present, and it is not c(uite certitin that tlu^ genus is tenable. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Abjuntains, Dulch New (iuinea, up to ;{500 ft., 

 October — December 1910 (A. 8. Meek). Ty|ie in coll. Rothschild. Also other 

 examples from this locality and from the Upper Sctckwa River, August — 

 September I'.UU.
