a black costal spot at base and a subcostal dot between M and SM 3 ; an antemedian 

 row of three spots, the first large, at almost one-third costa, second small, on 

 M nearer the base, third large, between M and SM 2 , again nearer the base ; an 

 elongate snbtriangnlar spot close to hindmargin between this and postmedian band; 

 postmedian little beyond middle of whig, very irregular, anteriorly narrow, at 

 nearly two-thirds costa, the rest mostly thicker, shaped roughly like a sea-horse, 

 the head pointing inwards in cell, the body strongly curving inwards behind cell, 

 a tail projecting outwards to just across SM 2 ; a subterminal band consisting of 

 long spots or thick wedges, confluent posteriorly, but broadly interrupted at R 1 

 and slightly (or almost) at K 3 ; a large spot at termen between SO 5 and R 2 ; a row 



of large black terminal dots between the veins. Hindwing grey- whitish with a 



slight ochreous admixture ; a dark grey discal dot ; very feeble indications of a 

 postmedian line (or teeth on the veins), especially at R 3 and M 1 ; a subterminal 

 spot on radial fold and a smaller between M 1 and M 2 . 



Both wings beneath pale, with dark discal dot ; forewing with the dark 

 markings feebly reproduced ; hindwing anteriorly and distally to cell with some 

 dark irroratiou. 



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

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



108. Tolmera niveibasalis sp. no v. 



S, 43 mm. Head pale ochreous brown, palpus marked with fulvous on outer 

 side. Antennal shaft and legs pale, irregularly spotted and blotched with fuscous. 

 Thorax concolorous with forewing ; abdomen paler. 



Forewing pale ochreous brown, shaded with redder scales and coarsely but 

 sparingly dusted with fuscous ; costal edge strigulated with fuscous, except at 

 origin of lines ; a snowy white spot at base, larger and more triangular than in 

 albibasalis Warr. {Nov. Zool. x. 404, xiii. 152) ; basal area otherwise a good deal 

 clouded with fuscous, fovea strong, pale ; first pale line from costa at 4 mm., nearly 

 straight and thick to middle (not angled on SC), thence recurved and sinuous, 

 narrowly reaching hindmargin at 3 - 5 mm. ; followed by blackish line thickening 

 to large spot costally ; median area clouded with fuscous except in proximal part, 

 containing the usual large blackish cell-spot; postmedian pale line at nearly two- 

 thirds, strongly bicnrved (S-shaped), preceded by blackish line which thickens a little 

 to costa ; distal area with irregular fuscous clouding, an apical patch distinctly 

 clearer, four irregular large dark spots in middle of area — at costa, radials, between 

 M 1 and M 2 and between M 2 and SM 2 ; a small terminal cloud between SC 5 and R 3 , 

 its anterior edge oblique ; subtriangular black terminal spots between the veins ; 

 fringe pale, spotted with fuscous at vein-ends. 



Hindwing paler, more fleshy, with rather large dark cell-spot ; a curved post- 

 median line, parallel with and 3-4 mm. from termen as far as M 2 , then approaching 

 tornus and becoming weaker. 



Underside of hindwing brighter, more heavily marked, of forewing more weakly 

 marked, especially posterior half; a line from costa following the postmedian.

Larger than albibasalis Warr., brighter, antemedian line not angled on SC, 

 postmedian nearer termen, etc.
