NOVITATBS ZOOLOOICAE XXIII. 191C. 43 



hindmargin nearly to the discal dot and from the postmedian line more than half 

 way to the antemedian, its proximal edge curved so that it narrows anteriorly. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, February 1911 (A. S. Meek), 

 together with the normal form. 



93. Eugnesia subapicata sp. nov. 



$ ?, 32-37 mm. Face very pale ochreous-brown, marked above with red-brown 

 and with two large, partly confluent red-brown spots on lower part. Palpus whitish 

 brown, becoming fuscous on the outside at end of first joint, greater part of second 

 joint, and near base of third. Vertex mostly pale. Thorax and abdomen very pale 

 ochreous brown, more or less irrorated with red-brown ; a red-brown band across 

 front of thorax, a large fuscous metathoracic spot and similar dorsal spots near base 

 of abdomen and near anus. 



Forewing very pale ochreous brown, irrorated with red-brown and very sparsely 

 with blackish fuscous; costal margin red-brown, more strongly dotted with fuscous; 

 lines broad, red-brown ; antemedian from before one-third costa to beyond one-third 

 hindmargin, forming two outward curves, with fuscous teeth proximally at M and 

 SM 2 ; postmedian from costa at five-sevenths, nearly straight or iu posterior part 

 slightly curved, distally with projecting red-brown teeth on the veins; discal dot 

 rather large, black ; an irregular red-brown patch distally to the postmedian line 

 between R 3 and M 2 , sloping obliquely away from it and containing a blackish spot 

 in each cellule ; a large round terminal black spot at R\ slightly cut with red- 

 brown on the vein itself; two smaller blackish dots or dashes shortly before 

 (proximal to) this, more widely sejjarated by red-brown shading at the vein (R 1 ) ; 

 terminal line red-brown, with fuscons dots or spots at the vein-ends ; fringe 



dark-marked opposite the veins. Hindwing with discal dot rather smaller ; 



postmedian line continued ; midway between this and termen a small dark spot on 

 radial fold and two more conspicuous interneural spots between M 1 and SM 2 ; 

 terminal dots rather strong, in the teeth of the strongly crennlate margin. 



Underside with the markings reproduced, lines of forewing fnscescent, that of 

 hindwing more slender than above. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, about 139° E. longitude, 5000- 

 7000 ft,, January 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



Possibly a form of sordidata Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiv. 165), somewhat analogous 

 to varians ab. melanospila, Warr. (loc. cit.~). 



94. Syntaracta semipectinata sp. nov. 



3, 34-35 mm. Very similar to S. nigrellata Warr. (Nov. Zool. xiii. 136), 

 differing as follows : 



Rather smaller, antennal pectinations quite short, abdomen not or scarcely 

 black-dotted, wings with rather brighter reddish-fulvous irroration and markings, 

 all the dots and spots much reduced, the subtermiual ones virtually wanting ; 

 postmedian line of hindwing straighter. 



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

 Meek). Type and others in coll. Tring Mus. 



A ? which may belong here is rather paler, with duller irroration and stronger 

 black markings, thus even nearer to nigrellata.
