32 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



weakly dark-spotted opposite the veins. Hindwing not very broad ; glossy pale 



greyish ; discal dot dark ; a pale postmedian band, traversed by an indistinct grey 

 thread and angled behind R s ; a fine, pale subterminal line. 



Both wings beneath marked much as hindwing above, but more brownish and 

 with crenulate lines slightly traceable on the dark areas. 



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

 type 6, and January 1911, both sexes (A. S. Meek) in coll. Tring Mus. 



Referred to Horisme on account of the double areole, but the palpus suggests 

 affinity with Micromia. Perhaps this species and the two which follow, together 

 with several of Warren's New Guinea Eucymatoge, will form a new genus. 



70. Horisme aeolotis sp. nov. 



S , 25 mm. Face white, with a small black-mixed tuft at lower edge. Palpus 

 stout, with strongly projecting scales ; mostly blackish, extreme tip white. Vertex 

 white, posteriorly with a slight brownish tinge. Antenna dark. Thorax mixed 

 white and blackish ; metathorax with strong, bifid white crest, black-marked in 

 front. Abdomen fuscous, with a black dorsal spot near base, crests rather strong, 

 mostly brownish white. 



Wings glossy. Forewing very variegated ; base white, with a slight brown 



admixture, from SC to costa blackish ; basal patch otherwise blackish, cut by a 

 light brown (in some lights shot with purple) streak at fold, its distal edge at costa 

 2 - 5 mm. from base, incurved on SC, with double pointed projections before and 

 behind M, then curving obliquely inwards ; succeeding area white, cut by a brown, 

 blackish-mixed streak at fold, also with a blackish dot at costa and a lunulate- 

 dentate, somewhat interrupted line from SO to the fold-streak, distally shaded with 

 pale brownish ; median area broad, at costa 5 mm., its proximal edge rather deeply 

 curved and somewhat sinuous, its distal with a rather sharp-pointed indentation 

 at SC 5 , a projecting lobe at R 3 (its anterior margin more gradually sloping than 

 its posterior), sharp indentations on M 1 , M 2 and SM 2 ; proximal part narrowly 

 /black, interrupted by the fold-streak, which here and as far as the middle of the 

 area has again the purple gloss ; distal part very narrowly and interruptedly pre- 

 ceded proximally by two or three dentate dark lines, middle of the area light brown 

 (mixed, especially at costa and distally to the cell-spot, with white), a slight purple 

 suffusion between the medians at their origin, a vague suffusion between R 3 and 

 M 1 , interrupting the postmedian dark markings ; cell-spot strong, black, crescentic ; 

 a narrow brownish-white band distally to the postmedian, intersected by a brown 

 line and bounded distally by an interrupted black one ; between this and the sub- 

 terminal line stand a duplicating, still more interrupted dark line, pairs of blackish 

 spots at costa and between radials, a single one between medians and a very pale 

 blue spot anteriorly to R 1 ; subterminal line rather slender, lunulate-dentate, white, 

 in places tinged with blue ; terminal area light brownish, with some darker 

 shadings and black spots ; terminal line interrupted at veins and (at least in part) 

 midway between ; fringe white, with very slight dark dividing-line and with strong 



dark spots opposite the veins. Hindwing light purplish grey, darker distally 



to a very faint pale double postmedian stripe, the dark area showing traces of a 

 very fine white subterminal ; discal dot small and weak. 



Underside glossy fuscous, with small, somewhat crescentic discal dots and 

 faint traces of pale, divided outer band ; distally to this somewhat less glossy and
