24 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



yellow, spotted with rosy at vein-ends. Hinduring with costa not long, apex not 



sharp, termen somewhat irregularly waved, strongly convex, most prominent abont 

 M 1 , tornns sqnared, abdominal margin rather long ; as forewing. 



Underside paler rosy, the forewing, except at distal- and hindmargin, scarcely 

 mixed with yellow, the hindwing feebly mixed with yellow ; fringes as above, 

 but paler. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dntch New Gninea, about 139° E. longitude, 5000-7000 

 ft., March 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



53. Chrysocraspeda cambogiodes sp. nov. 



S, 24 mm. Face whitish, narrowly red above. Palpus mixed with red on 

 outer side. Crown ochreons, densely irrorated with dull red, a narrow white fillet 

 between antennae. Antennal shaft white on inner side, red on outer. Thorax and 

 abdomen above ochreous irrorated with dull red, beneath whitish ochreons. 



Forewing not very broad, apex not sharp, termen oblique, especially from 

 M 1 to tornus, tornus not well marked ; yellow ochreous, with coarse dark reddish 

 irroration ; this is dense in costal region, otherwise sparse ; first line obsolescent ; 

 discal dot strong, blackish ; postmedian line strongly excurved, from subcostal 

 shading at about two-thirds, thick and dark in its anterior half, slighter posteriorly ; 



no terminal line; fringe concolorous, without irroration. Hindwing with termen 



prominent at R 3 -M\ thus appearing slightly bent at both these veins, straight 

 between them ; nearly as forewing, costal irroration less dense, the dot and line 

 rather more proximally placed. 



Both wings beneath very pale yellowish with an indistinct discal dot ; forewing 

 with base, cell and costal region vinaceous. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Gninea, about 139° E. longitude, 5000 ft., 

 February 1911 (A S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



54. Heteroctenis indopurpurea sp. nov. 



$, 22 mm. Face very light brown. Palpus tinged with purple. Vertex 

 purple. Antenna strongly bipectinate. Thorax and abdomen above purple, 

 beneath light brown. Legs light brown, the foreleg slightly marked with 

 purple. 



Forewing dull " Indian purple," with a narrow yellow border, which narrows 

 very slightly about M 1 , widens very slightly behind, then tapers to a point at 



tornus ; fringe yellow. Hindwing with termen nearly straight from apex to R% 



and again nearly straight or faintly snbcoucave from M 1 to tornus, thus prominent 

 at R 3 -M J ; as forewing, the purple ground-colour projecting more strongly at R 3 . 

 underside slightly paler. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



Except in its much darker colour and absence of yellow discal mark of hind- 

 wing, and in the venation and pectinate antenna, this species may be described 

 as a counterpart of Ptochophyle ßavipuncta Warr. {Nov. Zool. vi. 331), from the 

 Philippines. I refer to Heteroctenis, all the species of Chrysocraspeda which have 

 unipectinate or bipectinate ? antennae, but doubt whether the status of the so-called 

 genus should be more than sectional.
