NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. -51 



109. Tolmera ecstatica sp. nov. 



?, 42-45 mm. Face pale ochreous, spotted with ftncous ; palpus mostly 

 fuscous. Crown and front of thorax pale ochreous mixed with ferruginous. An- 

 tennal shaft pale ochreous, with scattered fuscous spots; pectinations well developed 

 Tegulae mixed with ferruginous and fuscous. Pectus and legs mostly dull fuscous, 

 legs at extremities of joints pale. Abdomen dull fuscous, anterior segments pale 

 above. 



Forewing with termen rather more oblique than in typical Tolmera ; SO 1 

 anastomosing at point or connected by short bar with G ; glossy deep fuscous, at 

 hindmargin mixed with pale ochreous, the veins in part (R 1 , M, R 3 , M 1 , the 

 proximal half of M 2 , SC 2 except at base, and the distal extremity of SC 5 , R 2 and 

 M 2 ) white or whitish; a white spot at base; antemedian and postmedian lines 

 double, the obverse elements pale ochreous, the reverse pure white, a slender 

 dividing-line of the ground-colour ; antemedian from two-sevenths costa, nearly 

 vertical to SM 2 , then sharply bent basewards ; postmedian from before two-thirds 

 costa, nearly as oblique as termen to R 3 or M l , then forming an irregular, shallow 

 sinus inwards ; subterminal line pure white, forming a large V-shaped indentation 

 from before R 3 to behind M 1 , close to termen a pale ochreous line from R 3 to 



M 2 ; fringe pale ochreous, with a fine white line at base. Hindwing dull fuscous, 



with an ill-defined whitish postmedian line, which bends outward at abdominal 

 margin ; very faint traces of a pale subterminal line ; fringe pale ochreous, mixed 

 (except a slender line at base) with fuscous. 



Both wings beneath dull fuscous ; forewing with the pale lines faintly 

 reproduced, all in pale ochreous ; more distinct costal spots at their origin ; hind- 

 wing with the postmedian line even weaker than above. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, January — February 1911. Type 

 in coll. Tring Mus. 



110. Cleora hoploguster sp. nov. 



S ? , 36 mm. Head ochreous, with some blackish admixture (occasionally 

 feeble), the palpus rather short, with rather long projecting, mostly blackish, hair- 

 scales beneath. Antennal shaft ochreous and blackish in irregular alternations ; 

 pectinations in S rather long. Thorax above blackish, with ochreous spots. 

 Abdomen above whitish, somewhat mixed with ochreous and ferruginous, and with 

 spots and belts of purple fuscous ; beneath in <$ somewhat tufted and with a strong 

 horny process arising apparently from the fifth sternite and running almost in the 

 plane of the abdomen, clothed above with projecting hair, beneath with shorter 

 hair. Legs fuscous above, spotted with ochreous at ends of joints ; hindtibia in 

 (J with strong ochreous hair-pencil. 



Forewing with termen smooth ; SC 1 and SC 2 free ; fovea in S developed ; 

 rather smooth-scaled, very variegated, the prevailing impression being of bright 

 ferruginous varied with deep fuscous ; basal area largely fuscous, bounded by a 

 thick whitish-ochreous line from costa just beyond one-fifth, acutely angled out- 

 wards in cell, then oblique inwards, ending in a rather more oblique white mark 

 beyond one-fifth hindmargin ; median area broad, a fuscous costal spot at each 

 boundary, otherwise fuscous strigulated or mixed with pale ochreous, the veins 

 broadly ferruginous ; sometimes a broad, strongly angled, dark median shade ; 

 cell-spot large, beyond middle of wing ; postmedian line obtusely angled between
