NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 29 



green band proxirnally, doable series of dark spots (interrupted lines) distall} r ; 

 sixth at about 16 mm., very tortnous ; inbent costally and at R 3 -M', indented at 

 SM 2 , oblique outwards at hindmargin, accompanied distally by dark spots ; seventh 

 roughly parallel with sixth (at about or nearly 3 mm. distance), but lacking the deep 

 costal curve, accompanied proxirnally by small dark spots ; eighth and ninth parallel 

 with and not far from seventh, rather less distinct, separated from one another by 

 dark spots ; tenth (subterminal) running to tornus, interrupted at veins, and with 

 V-shaped proximal bends at R 2 and R 3 and broader, less deep ones at M 1 and M 2 ; 

 dark spots between this line and ninth near costa, between radials and posteriorly, 

 much smaller dark marks distally in all the cells ; termen with black triangles on 

 the veins, their apices at the margin itself, their bases finely white-edged ; a large 

 oval or reniform blackish discal spot, with white circumscription, proximal to the 



sixth line. Hindwing bronzy fuscous, with small cell-spot and vague dark distal 



border, narrowing to tornus. 



Both wings beneath glossy dark fuscous, with elongate blackish discal mark 

 and feeble pale sinuous postmedian line ; forewing in addition with still fainter 

 traces of pale antemedian lines and with a conspicuous row of subterminal white 

 spots. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, 5000-7000 ft., January 1911 

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



A very handsome species, much larger than the rest of the group. 



65. Pseudoschista pallidipalpis sp. nov. 



S, 35 mm. Closely similar to nigrifusalis Warr. (Nov. Zool. iii. 120), from 

 the Khasis, but with the palpus uniform light olivaceous (in nigrifusalis blackish 

 beneath). 



Forewing more ochreous olivaceous (but possibly a little discoloured), first 

 line accompanied by stronger dark shading, median line less dark except in 

 snbmedian area, where it forms a sharper angle proximad, falling vertically on 

 hindmargin (in nigrifusalis obliquely outwards), the dark median shade more 



solid, but neither reaching the median line nor the hindmargin. Hindwing and 



underside less fuscous (more tinged with ochreous). 



Lower Oetakwa River, Dutch South New Guinea, November 17-28, 1910 

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



66. Ziridava brevicellula sp. nov. 



?, 25 mm. Structure of xylinaria Walk., except that the cell of hindwing 

 is shorter (scarcely over one-third the wing-length, in xylinaria two-fifths). 

 Coloration of the less rufous examples of that species ; smaller and differing 

 essentially in the position of the fuscous markings. 



Forewing fuscous along costa for a breadth of 1 mm. or more, but somewhat 

 interruptedly, the more conspicuous interruption being distally to the median area ; 

 a dark fuscous streak (thick line) along cell-fold, 1-5 mm. long, ending at DC; 

 a dark fuscous patch at distal end of median area, extending from the darkened 

 costa to the fold between R 1 and R 2 ; a dark fuscous dash near termen between 

 R 3 and M 1 ; there are also, as in xylinaria, a few tiny dashes or dark teeth 



accompanying some of the vague transverse lines. Hindwing with a small 



dark mark at inner margin near base (the beginning of the band of xylinaria),
