Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 463 



11. Prasinocyma serratilinea Warr. ultima subsp. nov. 

 $ , 35—39 mm. 



On an average larger than the name-type, rather darker, with more 

 definite shadings in the median area against the lines ; cell-dots black ; 

 antemedian line of fore wing more shallowly lunulate-dentate, post- 

 median with still deeper indentation behind M 2 . 



Mount Kunupi, November-December, 1920 (type and five paratypes) ; 

 December, 1920 to January, 1921 (three paratypes). 



Possibly a separate species. 



12. Prasinocyma minutipuncta Warr. allocraspeda subsp. nov. 



$ . 



Differs from the name-typical form in having the fringes golden- 

 yellow, only slightly mixed with green at the extreme bases ; terminal 

 dots rather strong. 



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

 February, 1921, type. 



Also occurs at Fak-Fak and in the Ninay Valley, but I have 

 previously seen only indifferent specimens. In the Snow Mountains 

 the form is somewhat intermediate, the fringes being tipped with pale 

 yellow. 



13. Prasinocyma rudipunctata sp. nov. (pi. XXIV, fig. 10). 

 $ , 41 — 45 mm. 



Face green. Palpus almost 1J, reddish-ochreous, becoming paler 

 (whitish) beneath. Vertex and antennal shaft white ; pectinations 

 rather long and coarse, showing a tendency to curve, as in Thalassodes. 

 Occiput green. Thorax and abdomen green above, white beneath. 

 Legs white ; fore femur red-brown above and on inner side, tibia and 

 tarsus of a nondescript shade (tinged with brown and with olive) ; hind 

 tibial hair-pencil rather strong. 



Fore wing with SC 1 free, R' not or scarcely stalked, M 1 connate or 

 just separate; light blue-green, about as in latistriga or a little brighter 

 (slightly variable) ; costal edge very narrowly buff, then narrowly 

 tinged with reddish ; cell-dot black, fairly large, inclining to be obliquely 

 elongate ; lines white ; antemedian faint at costa (about 4 mm. from 

 base), gently excurved and slightly oblique in its general course, but 

 with a very feeble concavity about fold to SM 2 ; post median obsolete at
