274 Zygaenidae from Sumatra, Ceram, and New Guinea 



base. Hind wing with a large distal patch of light cadmium, its inner 

 edge a little invaded by the ground-colour, from upper edge of cell near 

 middle to inner margin a little above the anal angle ; outer edge well 

 rounded and reaching the margin at the first submedian. 



Underside with black ground-colour, yellow areas paler. Fore wing 

 with a narrow curved apical band of metallic greenish-blue, close 

 to the margin. Basal yellow as above. Hind wing with yellow area as 

 above. A marginal band of metallic greenish-blue from the costa a 

 third from apex to vein 2, broader in cellules 5 and 6, then suddenly 

 narrowing and ending in a point. 



Head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen black. Legs black, scaled 

 with metallic blue. 



Length of fore wing : 21 mm. 



Dutch New Guinea : Mount Kunupi, 6,000 feet, November and 

 December, one ? . 



7. Eusphalera jordani sp. nov. 



A very distinct form, distinguished by the red band on the fore wing 

 and presenting a great resemblance to the Geometrid Milionia rubri- 

 fascia J. and T., which was found in the same locality. 



$ . Upperside with black ground-colour. Fore wing with a discal 

 coral-red (xiii) band, from just below costal edge at the middle, crossing 

 the cell beyond the middle, invading the base of cellule 2, and narrowing 

 to a point above the lower submedian ; outer edge nearly straight, inner 

 edge curved distad at the middle, and again below vein 2. Hind wing 

 with basal half metallic cerulean-blue (viii), lighter proximally. The 

 edge of this blue area indented. 



Underside with black ground-colour. Fore wing with red band 

 paler and broader, only slightly narrower posteriorly and limited by the 

 lower submedian. Metallic blue basal stripes ; a short one in cell and 

 two longer ones in lb and lc. A small greenish-blue apical spot near 

 costa. Hind wing with blue basal half as above, filling half the cell, 

 produced along the costa and along vein 2, filling base of cellule 2, and 

 invaded by black at the first submedian, vein 2 cutting off a triangular 

 marginal black spot. A narrow marginal greenish-blue stripe joining 

 the costal stripe and continued to the stripe on vein 2 at its end, 

 broader in cellules 5 and 6, then suddenly narrowing and ending in 

 a point. 



Antennae, head and thorax black. Frons edged with metallic blue 

 above, collar bordered with metallic blue, patagia tipped with metallic
