Geometridae from Dutch New Guinea and Mefor Island 475 



small grey midcostal mark) clear, widening slightly posteriorly, its 

 anterior extremity (between R 3 and M 1 ) becoming whitish at termen. 



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

 November-December, 1920, type and another ; December, 1920 to 

 January, 1921, two ? ? . 



It is just possible that this is a strikingly different form of the 

 unique costimacida Joicey and Talb. (1. c, 76, pi. iv, fig. 17), with which it 

 agrees in size, ground-colour and apparently shape of markings ; but the 

 hind wing as well as being blacker, has the termen rather more regular. 



32. Ctimene tenebricosa sp. nov. (pi. XXIII. fig. 7). 



S ? , 35—38 mm. 



Head and body brown-black, as in velata Warr. (Nov. Zool., xiii, 

 p. 139), slightly marked on side of prothorax and base of fore coxa with 

 ochreous. 



Fore wing uniform brown-black. Hind wing bright yellow-ochre 

 with black borders all round, the costal and terminal of an average 

 breadth of about 2 mm., the abdominal narrower. 



Underside similar, both wings slightly marked with ochreous at base. 



Mount Kunupi, Menoo Valley, 6,000 feet, November-December, 

 1920, type $ , allotype ? , three paratypes $ ; also eight <? H from 

 the Menoo Eiver, 3,500-5,000 feet, November-December, 1920. 



Variation slight, chiefly in the width of the borders of the hind 

 wing. One example shows a slight orange dash on the cell-fold of the 

 fore wing, about midway between base and termen. Another shows a 

 small black dot on DC 2 of the hind wing. 



33. Sabaria perfulvata sp. nov. (pi. XXIV, fig. 12). 

 <? , 28 mm. 



Closely similar to semirufa Pagenst. (Jahrb. Nass. Ver. Nat., xxxix, 

 p. 153) of which it is probably the Mefor representative, possibly 

 subspecies. 



Fore wing and abdominal region of hind wing scarcely differentiated 

 in colour from the rest of the hind wing, only a trifle less golden fulvous, 

 more tinged (especially at costa of fore wing) with reddish ; lines more 

 orange, the postmedian on both wings rather more proximally placed 

 than in semifulva ; termen of hind wing with appreciable though minute 

 excision between the radials.
