292 New Geometridae from Central Geram 



attenuated anteriorly, crossing the base of SC 5 , tapering posteriorly ; 

 a small spot at M 2 close to termen ; often also a minute one on SM 2 , 

 slightly more proximal. Hind wing bright orange-yellow, with brown- 

 black (before C greyer) distal border, which is about 7 mm. wide in 

 anterior part, gradually tapers from radial fold to tornus (where it is 

 less than 3mm.) and encloses a small or moderate posterior orange- 

 yellow spot. 



Underside the same, only with the forewing — especially posteriorly 

 — slightly paler,

 type and 13 paratypes ; 4,600 feet, January, 1920, 4 paratypes. 



Broader-winged than lemnia, R 1 of fore wing not stalked, macula- 

 tion of abdomen and wings quite distinct. From tricolor Warr., and 

 klossi Roths., apart from other differences, it is distinguishable by the 

 uniformly dark tegulae. The markings of the fore wing vary between 

 white and pale buff, as well as varying in size ; subtornal spot of 

 hind wing also variable in size. 



22. Eucharidema apora sp. nov. 



Similar to trichroa Roths, and Jord. Fore wing with the band 

 white in all the known examples, not broader beneath than above. 

 Hind wing with red-orange band very variable but always much 

 reduced, never reaching the costal margin ; in the extreme in one 

 direction (labelled 8/8), vide Bull. Hill Mus. 1, 7, it is only 1 mm. 

 wide and does not cross R 3 forward, while in the other extreme (1/8) 

 it widens to almost 4 mm. at R 3 , thence tapering rapidly, continuing 

 extremely attenuated from R 1 to C.

The ? , which must surely belong here, in spite of remarkable 

 differences in venation, has the structural characters of a simple 

 Graspedosis or Milionia, SC 1_2 (coincident) of the fore wing arising 

 from the cell and running free midway between C and SC 3 " 5 , R 2 

 from middle (or slightly before middle) of discocellulars. Fore wing 

 with the band usually creamy-white (slightly less pure than in the 

 <?), on an average broader (but variable), slightly more distal, or at 

 least more oblique outwards, forking about M 2 , its proximal and 

 more slender branch (which, however, may become obsolete or be
