New Geometridae from Central Ceram 299 



with only weak remnants of the fore wing markings and these costal, 

 and I cannot think Swinhoe right in sinking it ; chlorophora Warr. 

 (Nov. Zool. 4, 120, from Wetter) is another relative. 



32. Hypochrosis pachiaria Walk, obnubilata subsp. nov. 

 ? . 65—68 mm. 



Larger and more deeply coloured than pachiaria pachiaria from 

 India, Burma, the Andamans, and Hainan, the " rufous " areas strong, 

 considerably mixed with slate-grey or violet-grey (in one aberration 

 predominantly slaty). 



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

 7 ? 2 . 



Variation slight. The very variable miliaria Swinh., from the 

 Nilgiris, which I agree with Swinhoe in regarding as a separate species 

 (rounder-winged, etc.), occasionally throws aberrations somewhat 

 resembling obnubilata but which cannot be confused with it. The new 

 race, or a closely similar one, occurs also in Dutch New Guinea, but as 

 I have only 2 ? ? and 1 cT before me, I leave dealing with them for a 

 future occasion.
