474 Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 



Nomnagihe, 25 miles south of Wangaar, January-February, 1921, 

 type; Mount Kunupi, 6,000 feet, December, 1920, to January, 1921, 

 paratype. 



May possibly prove a local or seasonal form, but as the form superior 

 Prout prevailed in the Weyland Mountains, it seems more probably a 

 mere chance that the two taken on the second expedition differ so 

 markedly therefrom. 



30. Euchariclema apora Prout plesiozona subsp. nov. (pi. XXIII, 

 fig. ID- 



$ , 48 mm. 



Abdomen with the anal tuft not lighter than the rest. 



Fore wing with the white band differently formed, not so oblique 

 proximally as in apora apora, being about 10 mm. from base at margins, 

 its distal edge straightish to M 2 , at which vein it has widened to 4'5 mm., 

 then suddenly incurved so as to narrow it to scarcely 1"5 mm. ; traces 

 of a bar from the angle on SM 2 to tornus, thus reversing the proportions 

 common in the female of apora apora. Hind wing with the band 

 reddish-orange, farther removed from termen than in apora apora, quite 

 short, running from the radial fold to the submedian one, tapering from 

 nearly 2 mm. to a point.

31. Paralcis tmetoloba sp. nov. (pi. XXIII, fig. 5). 

 ? , 37 — 41 mm. 



Nearly related to albistigma Joicey and Talb. {Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 

 [8] xx, 75, pi. 3, fig. 2) but smaller. 



Fore wing with the brown ground-colour less tinged with rufous 

 (more as in costimacula Joicey and Talb.), the black cloudings rather 

 heavy ; the white median fascia much broader, proximally reaching 

 the cell, in its anterior half (and sometimes almost throughout) without 

 dark irroration ; a conspicuous lobe of the ground colour projects from 

 its proximal side, generally almost reaching its distal side, bisected with 

 white on M 2 ; antemedian line less oblique posteriorly ; costal mark in 

 white area small, the line which originates from it only indicated by a 

 few dots ; terminal white mark smaller, more crescentic, scarcely con- 

 nected with the subterminal. Hind wing more blackish-grey. 



Fore wing beneath with the orange band broad and (except for the
