464 Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 



costa, at first 6 or 7 mm. from termen, mostly slightly nearer thereto, 

 somewhat undulate, with the most noticeable inward curves at folds ; 

 termen with small but sharp black dots ; fringe light ochreous-buff. 

 Hind wing bluntly bent at R 3 ; cell-dot large, rather irregular, more or 

 less elongate ; antemedian weak, angled near abdominal margin ; post- 

 median rather protrusive at R 3 to M l , thence rather deeply dentate to 

 abdominal margin. 



Underside whitish-green, deeper costally on fore wing, costal edge 

 ochreous-buff, then greyish ; terminal dots as above ; fringes rather 

 paler.

 December, 1920, type and five other $ 3 ; December, 1920, to January, 

 1921, one $ , two ? ? . 



14. Prasinocyma philocala sp. nov. (pi. XXIV, fig. 3). 

 $ , 31 mm. 



Head green, with a broad white fillet between the antennae. Palpus 

 rather short, beneath white. Antennal shaft white, pectination rather 

 long. Body green above, white beneath ; the abdomen with a white 

 dorsal line. Legs white, the fore leg green above ; hind tibia with 

 strong white hair-pencil. 



Fore wing with apex moderately sharp, termen almost straight, 

 not very strongly oblique ; SC anastomosing very shortly with C ; of 

 nearly the same delicate blue-green as coerulea Warr., becoming a 

 rather more decided green about C and SC ; costa narrowly white at 

 extreme edge, then narrowly tinged with light brown ; lines repre- 

 sented by white vein-spots, the antemedian forming a large one on 

 base of M 2 and a second almost equally large on SM 2 , the postmedian 

 almost parallel with termen (at about 4 mm.), mostly small, the one 

 on R 3 larger and (almost inappreciably) more proximal ; cell-dot very 

 feebly indicated in darker green ; a fine, not conspicuous brown 

 terminal line ; fringe whitish. Hind wing with termen gently curved, 

 not strongly convex, not angled at R 3 , tornus consequently appearing 

 acute ; marked (except costally) as fore wing, but with the postmedian 

 series of dots arcuate. 



Underside whitish-green, the fore wing brighter green anteriorly, 

 its costal margin nearly as above ; lines (including the terminal) 

 obsolete ; fringes white.
