New Geometridae from Central Ceram 281 



3. Tanaorliinus unipuncta Warr. zoomesta subsp. nov. 



3 not essentially different from those (rather rare) aberrations of 

 unipuncta unipuncta in which the median area is narrowed, the post- 

 median line not very strongly outbent distally to cell, in the submedian 

 area approaching (not infrequently meeting) the antemedian. Beneath 

 quite similarly coloured to unipuncta unipuncta $ . . 



? on an average smaller than that of unipuncta unipuncta. Deep 

 green, the fore wing scarcely darker than that of the $ (excepting the 

 brown-speckled part of the median area), thus strikingly different from 

 the purple-mixed ? of the name-type, the dark cellmark nearly as 

 conspicuous as in the $ . 



Central Ceram : Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, 

 thirteen $ $ , twenty-three ? ? , including the type $ and allotype ? ; 

 also one $ taken at 4,600 feet, in January, 1920, and one ? 3,000 feet 

 in February, 1920. 



The comparative lack of sexual dimorphism makes this race suggest, 

 at first glance, the Indo-Malayan representative rafflesii Moore rather 

 than unipuncta ; but the sinuous and strongly dentate line of the hind 

 wing, accompanied proximally by a well-marked blackish spot, the 

 brightly coloured underside (on the fore wing not, as in rafflesii, largely 

 light green) and other characters show unmistakably its real relation- 

 ship. 



4. Anisozyga subvenusta Warr. diargema subsp. nov. 



$ . 36 mm. 



Much larger than subvenusta subvenusta Warr., from New Guinea. 



Fore wing rather more vivid green, with the white markings purer 

 and more extended, only the white spot in the end of the cell reduced, 

 beneath with the dark posterior end of the subterminal line thickened. 

 Hind wing also with the white markings extended, especially in 

 abdominal area ; no subapical dark spot ; beneath with the subapical 

 dark spot much reduced, on the other hand with traces of continuation 

 recalling the subterminal band of subliturata, though very much less 

 strong. 



Central Ceram, 4,600 feet, January, 1920. 



May probably prove a separate species, but the unique specimen is 

 not in perfectly fresh condition,
