42 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



90. Eugnesia correspondens papuensis subsp. nov. 



Apparently not separable specifically from correspondens Warr. (Nov. Zool. 

 iv. 77), described from the Philippines, and I think only known from western 

 localities in the Malayan Region, but duller coloured (light brownish rather than 

 fnlvous), the underside more strongly marked, especially in respect of a subterminal 

 series of dark spots. The npperside of the forewing shows also two rather 

 characteristic elongate cloudings distally to the postmedian line, the anterior (and 

 longer) behind R 3 , the posterior behind M 1 ; the postmedian line of the hindwing 

 is straight in the 3 , curved in the ? . 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, January — February 1911 (A. S. 

 Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



It is reasonable to expect that the three $ ? of correspondens recorded by 

 Warren (Nov. Zool. x. 384) from the Upper Aroa River will prove to belong to 

 this race or a similar one. 



91. Eugnesia polita sp. nov. 



<??, 27-31 mm. Face whitish, lower half marked with red on the sides. 

 Palpus straw-yellowish, first and second joints mostly blood-red on outer side and 

 beneath, extremities remaining pale. Vertex pale. Postorbital rim and collar 

 mixed with red. Patagia tipped with red. Tegula red at base. 



Forewing glossy pale straw-colour, with very sparse red-brown irroration; 

 •costal edge more or less mixed with reddish ; a red-brown, generally blackish- 

 mixed spot on SC near base; first line from costa at nearly 4 mm., reddish, rather 

 thick but ill-defined, except at veins, where it projects basewards, thickens and 

 deepens, and is accentuated by blackish proximal admixture ; discal mark not 

 large, somewhat crescentic, red mixed with blackish ; postmedian line about 4 mm. 

 from termen, similarly formed to antemedian, but with the projections in the 

 opposite direction and with a marked proximal curve posteriorly to R 3 ; usually 

 a, red, black-mixed spot distally to the postmedian between R 3 and M 1 ; subterminal 

 line indistinct, white or whitish, dentate, accompanied proximally by a reddish spot 

 at costa and distally by one on R 3 ; terminal dots sharp, red mixed with blackish, 

 placed on the veins and extending on to base of fringe ; veins in distal area some- 

 times strongly reddened. Hindwing pale, finely and feebly irrorated, with very 



little marking ; a minute discal dot ; the beginning of a postmedian line at 

 abdominal margin and usually interrupted traces of subterminal markings, never 

 reaching costa. 



Underside similarly marked, less shiny, forewing with base of costa more 

 broadly red, hindwing rather less pale, its postmedian line sometimes reappearing 

 at costa. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, January — February 1911 (A. S. 

 Meek). 6 33, 1 ? in coll. Tring Mus. 



Very distinct in its smooth, polished appearance and weakly marked hindwing. 



92. Eugnesia lineata ab. cumulata ab. nov. 



Differs from typical lineata Warr. (Nov. Zool. i. 409, x. 384) in that the 

 forewing has a large red-brown blotch in the central area, extending from the
