NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 49 



stalked with SC 5 , anastomosing with C, SC 3-5 stalked from well before end of cell, 



R 2 from scarcely before middle of DC, M 1 separate from R 3 . Hindwing relatively 



rather small, both angles well expressed, termen smooth, little convex ; C approxi- 

 mated to SC to nearly one-half cell, rapidly diverging, SC 2 well separate from R 1 , 

 R 2 wanting, M 1 separate from R 3 . 



Type of the genns : Cholomiza tanypus sp. nov. 



Here belongs also bimaculata AVarr. {Nov. Zool. xiv. 188, as Mimomiza), in 

 which, however, the $ hindleg is of normal proportions and the c? antenna snb- 

 pectinate, the stout, pointed pectinations being fully as long as diameter of shaft. 



105. Cholomiza tanypus sp. nov. 



S, 44-45 mm. Similar to bimaculata Warr , differing in the d antenna and 

 hindtibia, extremely short hindtibial spurs (especially the outer), extraordinarily 

 long first hindtarsal joint, and in the following particulars : Head less reddish, 

 being very strongly mixed with lilacine grey ; thorax posteriorly with a single 

 dark spot in place of pair of small dots ; abdomen less mixed with red. 



Foreiving with termen not slightly sinuate behind apex ; blotch larger, reaching 

 the antemedian line and confluent with the cell-spot ; cell-spot smaller ; both these 

 less reddish, being very strongly mixed, except at margins, with lilacine grey ; 



oblique line from apex slightly curved, more broken into spots. Hindwing with 



the lines more broken into spots. 



Underside with similar differences, all the markings more purple than reddish. 



In ab. praeflava ab. nov. the blotches are wanting, as in the ab. of bimaculata 

 of the same name.* 



Upper Setekwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, 2000-3000 ft., 

 August 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



106. Idiodes tenuicorpus nom. nov. 



Idiodes primaria Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales (2) vi. 642 (1892) (nee Walk.). 



Walker's type of primaria {List Lep. Ins. xxvi. 1610, as Acidalia), which 

 is in the British Museum collection, belongs to the robust species comprehensively 

 treated by Meyrick as apicata Guen. I am not at the moment in a position to 

 revise the latter thoroughly, but the comparatively slenderly built species mis- 

 identified by Meyrick as primaria requires a new name. In both the examples 

 which I have examined, SC 2 is exactly connate with SC 3-5 and anastomoses strongly 

 with SC 1 , subsequently more shortly with SC 3-4 . 



107. Tolmera exuberans sp. nov. 



<S $, 35-43 mm. Head ochreous, palpus marked with ferruginous (sometimes 

 with fuscous) on outer side. Antenna in $ pectinate. Collar and thorax partly 

 ferruginous, tegula with a large blackish spot. Abdomen as hindwing. 



Foreiving pale ochreous, marked (especially at veins and proximally to the 

 black markings) with ferruginous and distally to the black markings with white ; 



* For the sake of uniformity I have followed Warren in making the blotched form the type, though 

 it would have seemed more natural to consider it the aberration in both species,
