Prashwci/nhi J/arilimcs Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. p. 83) shows some similarity, 

 but tlifi'ers in the hiudtiliial armature, has the fringe light yellow and many other 

 distinctions.

Not only in structure but also iu entire facies these genera are absolutely 

 identical, and the erection of the second was evidently an oversight. Fortunately 

 no synonymy, I think, has been created in the species, though both costipict.a and 

 ///ib/fcra are very closely related to iiirj/iinntK, and one or other may perhaps prove 

 a local race of it, while (/iss///i/lii! is ecjnally near to acutiluuata. 



Oxychora Warr. 



Oxyclmra Warr., Nov. Zoid. v. p. 236 (1898). 

 Oxypora Warr., ibid. xix. p. 79 (1912). 



I do not think these are more than sections of a single genus. The S 

 structure is identical, as also the facies ; but there is a hitherto unrecorded 

 distinction in the S antenna, which may justify our retaining the name Oxypora 

 as subgeueric. 



The type of Oxychora {tenuis Warr.) was described from the S alone, but I 

 have now before me a ? from near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New 

 Guinea, October— December lilKI (A. S. Meek), and find it has the antenna strongly 

 pectinate, almost as in the S. In (Ic.ntilinea and spilota, on the other hand, the 

 ? antenna is virtually simjile (■' closely jiubescent "), as reciirded by Warren ; 

 the same is the case with Ixili.s Warr., which 1 have transferred to Oxychora. 



03. Oxychora batis eusticta subsp. aov. 



?. Differs from typical ImtDi Warr. {Mor. Zool. .xiii. p. Tf>) in having more 

 distinct series of white vein-dots (traceable, but weak, in Warren's type) and 

 longer t(M-minal and tonyil lilotches. Both series of dots on the forewing start 

 iu the brown costal margin, the first at about one-fifth, the second at about three- 

 fourths or beyond ; first outbent in cell, then nearly vertical to posterior margin; 

 second somewhat oblitjue inwards to R-, then outbent, again strongly iubent, rather 

 near first line from M- to i)Osterior margin, which it reaches about the middle. The 

 latter series reproduced on hind wing. 



cJ. The cJ of this species is hitherto undescribed ; the frenulum is ((uite short 

 and slender, the basal expansion of hindwiug (as also in ?) well marked; the 

 palpus has both second and third joints slender, smooth and elongate ; hindtibia 

 moderately dilated, with hair-pencil, the tarsus rather short. Slightly smaller than 

 the ? , of a somewhat fuller green, the marginal blotches as a rule considerably 

 smaller, and these (together with all the other " fleshy ochreous " jiarts) much 

 more strongly coloured, redder. In the absence of the S of hatis bati.s it is of 

 course impossible to say whether, or how, the present race differs from it.
