Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Me for Island 467 



18. Prasinocyma inturbida sp. nov. (pi. XXIV, fig. 8). 

 ? , 26 nim. 



Face green, shading off to white below. Palpus short (1J), rather 

 slender, terminal joint short but distinct ; green, beneath whitish. 

 Crown and antenna green. Thorax and abdomen green, beneath 

 white. Legs white, the fore leg mostly green on upper and inner side. 



Fore wing with apex pointed, termen gently subcrenulate ; SC 

 anastomosing shortly with C, and at a point with SC 2 , R' shortly 

 stalked, M 1 connate ; subtranslucent whitish green, closely irrorated 

 with deeper blue-green scales and with a few lustrous white ones ; 

 costal fringe proximally unusually long, green ; costal edge beyond this 

 very narrowly buff, mottled with brown ; cell-dot black; lines diffuse, not 

 strong, merely formed of somewhat denser irroration, weakly pale-edged 

 on their reverse sides ; antemedian from two-sevenths costa, rather 

 strongly excurved at both folds, thus with proximal angles on the veins ; 

 postmedian at about 3 mm. from termen, receding anteriorly to B 1 , 

 lunulate-dentate throughout ; fringe pale-green. Hind wing with 

 abdominal margin only moderately elongate, termen crenulate, with a 

 stronger tooth at R 3 ; cell-dot and postmedian line nearly as on fore 

 wing. 



Underside paler, the markings faintly showing through. 



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

 November-December, 1920. 



Like a few other Prasinocyma (e.g., tripuncta Prout, to which it is 

 probably related) this species is almost a " Chlorocoma " by the palpal 

 character. 



Subfamily Geometeinae. 



19. Milionia megadema Roths, and Jord. ptochica subsp. nov. 

 (pi. XXIII, fig. 12). ° 



$ ? . 



Band of fore wing much narrower than in megadema megadema 

 measuring at its widest part only 5 or 6 mm., and usually tapering 

 slightly anteriorly. Usually also (three <? $ , two 2 ? ) the band is 

 orange instead of red. The two ? ? in which it remains red may 

 be named ab. euchroma ab. nov.
