284: New Geometridae from Central Ceram 



dots at veins, the white spots of the fringe encroaching minutely on to 

 the wing. 



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

 $ type, 2 allotype and two 2 2 paratypes. 



8. Prasinocyma pimctulata leucogramma subsp. nov. 

 $ 2 . 32 — 41 mm. 



On an average somewhat larger, and of a brighter bluish-green 

 than punctulata punctulata Warr. (Nov. Zool. x, 357, New Guinea), 

 but only differing constantly in the presence of a conspicuous white 

 dorsal line on the abdomen. 



Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, a very long series, 

 but only eight of them g g . Also two 2 ? 4,600 feet, January, 1920. 



9. Prasinocyma simplex Warr. g . 



This species was described (Nov. Zool. xix, 78) from two 2 2 from 

 the Arfak mountains and again three pages later (as Pyrrhaspis reversa) 

 from one 2 from the Snow mountains. Besides these, the Tring 

 museum has a second Snow mountains 2 . The g has hitherto 

 remained unknown. 



g . 47 mm. 



Palpus with third joint moderately elongate (rather over one-half). 

 Antenna pectinate to about two-thirds, with long, coarse, Thalassodes- 

 like branches. Hind tibia not dilated. 



Fore wing relatively slightly shorter than that of the 2 , hind wing 

 with the termen slightly less convex. Similar in colour (or slightly 

 deeper green) and in markings, but with the fringe strongly reddened, 

 in its proximal half mixed with dark-grey. 



Central Ceram, 3,000 feet, October to November, 1919. 



Three 2 2 , Manusela, 6,000 feet, October to December, 1919, 

 agree with the New Guinea form. 



10. Prasinocyma limpida sp. nov. 



2 . 34 mm. 



Face green. Palpus about 2, third joint somewhat fusiform, nearly 

 1 ; green, beneath white. Vertex and antenna white. Occiput green. 

 Thorax and abdomen green above, white beneath. 



Fore wing with SC 1 anastomosing with C, K 1 stalked ; costal edge 

 buff; wing otherwise subdiaphanous, whitish green, irrorated in varying
