Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 473 



27. Craspedosis uniplaga angustiplaga subsp. nov. 

 $ , 40 mm. ; ? , 46 mm. 



Smaller than uniplaga uniplaga Warr. .(1896, Fergusson Is.). 



Fore wing with the white band narrower (especially in the middle), 

 straighter, its distal edge less convex, its proximal not sinuous posteriorly. 

 Hind wing with the white patch more truncate proximally, the black 

 basal area in consequence relatively a little larger. 



Mefor, August 15 to September 10, 1920. Type and allotype in 

 coll. Joicey. A pair in coll. Tring Museum confirm the validity of the 

 race ; the ? , though more nearly equalling that of uniplaga uniplaga in 

 size, shows all the other distinctions of the S . 



28. Craspedosis galathea Warr. weylandensis subsp. nov. 

 $ , 41 mm. ; ? , 47 — 52 mm. 



Differs from galathea galathea Warr. (Nov. Zool., v, 33, Kapaur) in 

 having the white markings reduced, the subterminal series entirely 

 wanting. Fore wing with the white basal area between M and hind 

 margin more or less broadly divided by black along SM 2 . Typically 

 also the white spot in cell almost obsolete, that at base of medians 

 entirely so, but the ? from Mount Kunupi approaches Warren's form 

 in these latter particulars. 



Wangaar Kiver, 15 miles from coast, ca. 600 feet, January, 1921, 

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

 February, 1921, allotype ? (52 mm. expanse) ; Mount Kunupi, Menoo 

 Valley, Weyland Mountains, 6,000 feet, November-December, 1920, 

 2 ab. 



29. Bordeta bursadoides Warr. superior Prout ab. deannulata 

 ab. nov. 



? , 41 mm. 



Tegulae not appreciably pale. The pale colour on pectus and fore 

 coxa greatly restricted. 



Abdomen dorsally black, without even the single orange belt of ab. 

 uniannulata Warr. {Nov. Zool., xvi, p. 127). 



Fore wing with the oblique orange band moderate (no doubt more 

 or less variable, as in all the forms). Hind wing with the black borders 

 ample, continuing (though in part very narrowly) along abdominal 

 margin.
