NOVITATBS ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 37 



Underside nearly as in tue allies, the pale line just beyond the cell-spot less 

 curved anteriorly. 



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

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



79. Cataclysme plurilinearia murina subsp. nov. 



c?, 39-42 mm. Much darker than plurilinearia plurilinearia Leech, drab- 

 grey, finely and closely irrorated with mouse-grey, quite without the yellow shadings 

 of the name-typical form. 



Vrianatong, Tibet. 11 <$ S in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Subfam. GEOMETRINAE 



80. Aplochlora eucosmeta sp. nov. 



? , 32 mm. Head and body coucolorous with wings. 



Forewing broad, stalk of SC 1-2 arising from that of SC 3-5 near its base, 

 anastomosing with C, SC 2 afterwards anastomosing rather strongly with SC 3-4 ; 

 dirty pale olive-green, not glossy, with coarse but sparse and irregular irroration 

 of dull dark reddish (anteriorly more blackish) ; a rather large blackish, slightly 

 red-mixed cell-spot ; two spots at just beyond two-thirds wing-length, formed of 

 conglomerated irroration, one before and the other behind R 3 ; terminal spots 



blackish, only the anterior three or four present, the first the largest. Hindwing 



with cell-dot smaller, postmedian spots best developed anteriorly (before and 

 behind SC 5 ). 



Both wings beneath pale ochre-yellow to beyond middle, then vaguely fieshy- 

 tinged ; discal dots present; forewing in addition with large roundish grey blotch 

 near tornus, from M 2 to hindmargin. 



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

 Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



Forewing broader, termen less oblique, than in subflava Warr. (Nod. Zool. iii. 

 392, x. 383), hindwing with abdominal margin relatively a good deal less elongate, 

 discal dot of forewing larger, coloration both above and beneath more variegated. 

 Agrees with that species in having SC 1 arising out of stalk of SC 3-5 . 



81. Plutodes drepanephora sp. nov. 



<?, 32 mm. Face and palpus orange-yellow. Vertex and base of antennal 

 shaft paler yellow. Thorax light yellow in front; upperside of body otherwise 

 mixed with orange and slightly with violaceous. 



Forewing yellow, becoming orange-yellow distally, except at hindmargin ; a 

 slightly irregular silvery line along M from base to nearly 4 mm., then forming an 

 almost semicircular forward cnrve, its distal end running along DC 3 ; a very oblique 

 silvery line from about two-fifths hindmargin to M 2 ; a proximally convex silvery 

 line from SC 4 about 3 mm. from apex to hindmargin at nearly three-fourths, its 

 anterior part broken into an irregular streak and two dots ; a curved silvery line 

 close to termen, from SC 4 to fold, interrupted at the veins ; the space between the 

 proximal two silvery lines (and to base) wholly, that between the distal two proxi- 

 mally, weakly suffused with violet-grey. Hindwing similarly coloured, close to 



base violaceous, the proximal silvery lines almost entirely obsolete, the hindmarginal 

 traceable in places, particularly as a spot beyond middle of abdominal margin ;
