NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIII. 1916. 55 



116. Chogada alienaria hospita subsp. nov. 



?, 42-46 mm. Upper surface scarcely distinguishable from the most sharply 

 marked ? examples of name-typical alienaria (= acaciaria Hmpsn. nee Bsd. ; 

 distributed from India to Australia) except that the cell-marks are narrower, 

 especially on hindwing ; median line of forewing usually stronger, but this is 

 rather inconstant. Under surface with the dark mai'giual band of the forewing not 

 quite reaching the postmediau line, gradually narrowing, disappearing at M 2 , not 

 reappearing on hindwing, only extremely faintly suggested. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, January 1911 (A. S. Meek). 3 ? ? 

 in coll. Tring Mas. ; unfortunately I have not seen the corresponding c?. 



117. Boarmia (Serraca) sponsa sp. nov. 



c?, 60 mm. Structure and general coloration of punctinalis Scop. (= coh- 

 sortaria F.) from Europe and conferenda But!, from Japan, but with the light- 

 brown sexual patch of the hiudwing beneath much more strongly developed — 

 almost as in the Indian species of the group (infixaria Walk., transcissa Walk., 

 and lioptilaria Swinli.) ; further distinguished by its large size and sharper 

 markings. 



Forewing with SC 1 out of G, anastomosing with SC 2 ; slightly brownish 

 white, irrorated with pure white and sparsely with fuscous ; lines and cell-spot 

 formed as in the allies ; antemedian thickened at costa and blackened from SC 2 

 to hindmargin ; median strong towards hindmargin, strongly angled inwards on 

 SM 2 ; postmedian as in the most sharply-marked confer endo,, the brown band 

 beyond it rather well developed ; dark costal shade proximally to the subterminal 



stronger than in the allies. Hindwing with median and postmedian lines strong, 



except at costa, the band distally to the postmedian strong and dark. 



Underside with cell-marks large and strong ; cell of forewing with dark 

 (sometimes strongly blackish-fuscous) irroration. 



Vrianatong, Tibet. 9 <?<? in coll. L. B. Prout. 



118. Ophthalniodes prasinospila sp. nov. 



<$, 67 mm. Head green, the lower part of face dirty white, above which is 

 a slightly interrupted blackish baud. Palpus with second and third joints mostly 

 black. Antennal pectinations short for the genus (scarcely four times diameter of 

 shaft). Thorax pale green. Abdomen still paler, with a pair of black spots 

 dorsally on each segment. Fore and middle legs blackened on upper and inner 

 side ; hindtibia moderately dilated, with hair-pencil. 



Forewing elongate; base of SC 1 obsolete, leaving this vein to arise ont of C ; 

 white, with light olive-green irroration and minute strigulation, strongest at base, 

 moderately strong at apex ; some irregular blackish marks on costal edge ; 

 markings otherwise light olive-green ; a rather thick, double antemedian line, 

 arising from a costal blotch at 4-8 mm. from base, sinuous (lunnlate inwards 

 between fold and SM 2 ) to hindmargin rather near base ; discal ocellus large, mixed 

 with a few blackish scales, the white centre confined to the cross-vein itself; median 

 shade best expressed at costa (angled outwards on R 1 ) and behind M 2 , where 

 it forms a blotch touching the postmedian ; postmedian line rather thick, from 

 beyond two-thirds, angled outwards on R 1 , almost rectangularly bent on R 3 ,
