Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 457 



2. Callipotnia allognata Prout incerta subsp. nov. 

 $ , 42 mm. 



Slightly larger than allognata allognata, the apex of the fore wing 

 less acutely produced, the termen of the hind wing rather more 

 rounded; colour a warmer brown; postmedian yellow line, thicker ; 

 subterminal yellow line fairly strong and regular, scarcely filled in with 

 dark spots proximally. 



Mount Kunupi, Menoo Valley, Weyland Mountains, 6,000 feet, 

 November-December, 1920. 



Perhaps a distinct species. 



The brown hair patches on hind wing beneath are fairly thick and 

 almost equal in length, one on M extending from origin of M 2 to bases 

 of K 3 and M 1 , the second on M 2 , starting at its base, the third on and 

 in front of SM 2 , about in alignment with the other two. 



3. Naxa craspedota sp. nov. (pi. XXIV, fig. 5). 

 ? , 53 mm. 



Head and body white, mottled with blackish. Antenna blacker 

 than in guttulata Warr., the pectination scarcely so long. Legs 

 predominantly grey. 



Fore wing subdiaphanous white, with some scattered black-grey 

 hair-scales as in the allies ; markings formed of dense black-grey 

 irroration, that of the proximal area strongly mixed with hair-scales ; 

 proximal area to 7 mm. at hindmargin, rather more anteriorly (its 

 distal edge being rather oblique), costal to just across SC and distal to 

 a breadth of 6 mm. (somewhat crenulate proximally) of the dark shade ; 

 cell-spot rather larger than in guttulata. Hind wing with cell-spot and 

 distal border as on fore wing, the ground colour bluntly projecting into 

 the border about E 2 . 



Underside similar. 



Nomnagihe, 25 miles south of Wangaar, 2,000 feet, January- 

 February, 1921. 



A most interesting discovery, the previous limit of the eastward 

 range of the genus being Borneo. Quite near guttulata, differing in the 

 darkened base and dark borders. The left hind wing shows a venational 

 sport, E 2 being forked distally (for nearly half its length) .
