46 NOYITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 



with termen quite feebly crenulate ; rather whiter than forewing ; a very small 

 grey discal dot ; the beginning of a tine median line at inner margin ; a thick (or 

 donble and partly continent) postmedian from inner margin about to M 1 , becoming 

 obsolete ; conspicuous snbterminal dots before and behind M 2 , rest of series entirely 

 obsolete. 



Forewing beneath with the cell-spot reproduced, markings otherwise weak 

 except at costa; hindwing nearly as above, markings traceable at costa. 



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

 Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



Akin to " Chiasmia " papuensis Warr. (Nov. Zool. xiv. 179), but larger, 

 slightly narrower, termen of both wings rather less irregular, irroration much 

 slighter. Even further from typical Chiasmia (clathrata L.) in shape and facies 

 than Warren's species. 



99. Chiasmia (?) subcostistriga sp. no v. 



c?, 29 mm. Face and palpus pale brown, mixed with ferruginous. Palpus 

 longish. Vertex whitish ; occiput pale brown, mixed With ferruginous. Thorax 

 above pale brown, mixed with ferruginous, across the middle dark purple-fuscous. 

 Abdomen strongly mixed with ferruginous on sides and on fourth sternite. Legs 

 pale, irrorated with ferruginous. 



Forewing with termen elbowed at M 1 , oblique behind ; very feebly subconcave 

 between radials aud behind M 2 ; very pale wood-brown, with irregular ferruginous 

 irroration; a purple- fuscous subcostal streak from base to apex ; first line ferru- 

 ginous, narrowly pale-edged proximally, straight from subcostal streak 3 mm. from 

 base to hindmargiu at beyond 3 mm. ; a ferruginous shade in cell near the cell-spot, 

 emitting a straight median line which meets the first line at hindmargiu ; cell-spot 

 somewhat elongate, its posterior extremity followed by a slight ferruginous shade 

 between R 3 and M 2 ; postmediau line ferruginous, tinged with fuscous, narrowly 

 pale-edged distally ; slightly sinuous from the subcostal streak before two-thirds to 

 hindmargin beyond two-thirds ; area between postmedian and subterminal lines 

 shaded with ferruginous, interrupted from R 3 to M 2 by a purple-fuscous cloud which 

 extends nearly to termen ; subterminal line white between SC 5 and R 3 , with two 

 dark dots distally ; a slight dark proximal edging ; terminal line deep ferruginous ; 



base of fringe ferruginous. Hindwing with termen bulged at medians, here with 



two small teeth ; very slightly concave between M 2 and SM 2 ; pale wood-brown, 

 becoming whitish at costa and in submedian area ; a thick ferruginous antemedian 

 line from hindmargiu to M beyond origin of M 2 ; postmedian line feeble and curved 

 anteriorly, straighter from R 1 to fold, thickening, rather oblique inward to near 

 abdominal margin, forming a thick, outwardly oblique spot at the margin ; a 

 terminal shade of purple-fuscous anteriorly, becoming ferruginous-mixed between 

 R 3 and M 2 , emitting a ferruginous line from M 2 to tornns ; terminal line and fringe 

 as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath less clouded, posterior part almost entirely pale ; subcostal 

 streak almost obsolete, but very dark from snbterminal line to apex ; cell-mark 

 strong ; lines present, reaching costa in strong proximal curves. Hindwing beneath 

 mixed with white in proximal part as well as in submedian area ; a strong cell-dot; 

 curved autemedian and postmedian lines, thickest posteriorly ; a vague line close 

 beyond the postmedian; three blackish subterminal spots between the veins in 

 anterior half of wing.
