more variegated, with traces of fine whitish subterminal line ; fringes nearly as 

 above. 



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

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



Perhaps nearest to brunneata Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 116), but with much 

 sharper coloration, the bands differently formed, etc. 



71. Horisme subtilis sp. nov. 



¥ , 20 mm. Head green, spotted with fuscous. Palpus more strongly spotted 

 with fuscous, the greenish ground-colour almost obscured, except beneath. Thorax 

 and abdomen dorsally green, spotted with fuscous, the latter colour prevailing 

 towards anus. 



Wings smooth-scaled, rather glossy. Fore wing yellow-green, the extreme 



costal edge, the markings and the fringe purplish fuscous ; basal patch moderately 

 large, enclosing some green spots (especially one near the base), its distal edge 

 slightly angled outwards in cell and slightly incurved between M and fold ; median 

 band just beyond middle of wing, very slenderly white-edged, nearly 3 mm. wide 

 at costa, narrowing to radial area, both its edges sinuous and especially incurved 

 in this area, the distal edge afterwards excurved at R 2 -M ! and incurved at fold; 

 an elongate subapical patch between costa and SO 5 , containing the beginning of a 

 dentate white snbterminal line ; a rather narrow distal border from SC 5 (narrowest 

 between R 3 and M 2 ), containing near its proximal edge a dentate (or posteriorly 

 lnnulate-dentate) white subterminal line and clistally some green terminal spots. 

 Hindwing without markings, reddish ochreous, paler proximally. 



Under-surface nondescript pale fleshy greyish, with close but not strong darker 

 irroration, both wings showing traces of a somewhat bent postmedian and some 

 indefinite distal dark shading. 



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

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



72. Eupithecia synclinogramma sp. nov. 



S, 20 mm. Head pale olivaceous. Palpus rather long (about twice diameter 

 of eye), with third joint elongate and exposed. Antennal ciliation minute. Thorax 

 above olivaceous, dark-marked on the tegulae ; beneath pale. Abdomen pale, the 

 crests rudimentary. 



Forewing moderately broad, the costal margin somewhat arched anteriorly, 

 termen not very strongly oblique, becoming more so behind R 3 ; glossy seal-brown; 

 very feeble subbasal and antemeclian lines of pale olivaceous, both becoming a little 

 more distinct at costa ; a rather large, roundish black cell-spot ; a fine, strongly 

 excurved, pale olivaceous line from beyond two-thirds costa to about three-fourths 

 hindmargin, distally accompanied by a darker olive line ; a broader, anteriorly 

 incurved line from apex to tornns, touching the previous olive line from about 



R 2 to M 2 ; fringe concolorous. Hindwing not very short ; pale brown-grey, 



unmarked. 



Forewing beneath grey as far as the postmedian line, with faint discal dot 

 and traces of lines beyond ; distally very pale brownish, with traces of lines. Hind- 

 wing beneath very pale brownish, with four or five curved lines, one in the middle 

 the strongest.
