20 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



extremely short ciliation. Occiput crimson. Thorax and abdomen crimson, paler 

 beneath. 



Forewing with apex pointed, almost subfalcate, the terrnen being very faintly 

 subconcave in its anterior half ; SO 5 from areole close to its apex, SO 1-4 long- 

 stalked from apex of areole ; crimson, tinged with purple, the extreme costal edge 

 golden yellow, this shade also suffusing the entire costal region (to SC 4 ) distally ; 

 first line obsolete ; cell-spot white, faintly grey-edged ; median shade beyond, 

 rather broad, but little darker than g round-colon r, parallel with termen ; post- 

 median Hue rather near termen, indicated by rather indistinct dark vein-dots (very 

 short dashes), those on R 2 and M 2 more proximally placed than the others ; veins 

 in distal area tinged with yellow ; terminal interneural dark spots weak ; fringe 



crimson, somewhat paler distally. Hindwing with termen very little convex, 



cmite straight in middle part ; costal margin whitish, the rest as in forewing. 



Under-surface similar, but with the cell-marks nearly obsolete, costa of 

 forewing and veins of both wings more strongly gold-yellow, costa of hindwing not 

 whitish, on the other hand with the inner margin of both wings whitish. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, about 139° E. longitude, 5000-7000 

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



I suspect this species and the following, together with aurora Warr. (Nov. 

 Zool. x. 366), will have to be removed from Ptochophyle, on account of their 

 Cosymbia-Yike venation. 



46. Ptochophyle eos sp. nov. 



? , 28 mm. Similar to the preceding, but differing, apart from the smaller 

 size, as follows : 



Palpus mostly whitish beneath, with third joint rather longer and more slender, 

 intermediate towards Anisodes ; legs in part whiter. 



Forewing with apex slightly less produced, costa not yellow. Hindioing 



with termen rather more convex. Both wings orange-red (slightly dusted with 

 yellow) from median shade nearly to termen ; lines grey, the antemedian indicated 

 on both wings, deeply lunnlate-dentate (the teeth pointing basewards on veins), 

 accompanied proximally by some slight red and yellow shading, postmedian con- 

 sisting of rounder dots, curving proximad anteriorly ; discal dots smaller ; termen 

 with some slight grey shading, terminal line of dashes grey. Underside almost 

 unmarked, pinkish crimson. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, February 1911 (A. S. Meek). 

 Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



47. Chrysocraspeda fiavimacula sp. nov. 



<?, 25 mm. Face purplish crimson. Palpus crimson, pale beneath. Head 

 and thorax olivaceous greyish, with slight crimson suffusion, a crimson mark across 

 middle of crown, the suffusions in part strong on antenna. Fore and middle legs 

 strongly crimsoned. Abdomen variegated with similar shades to the hindwing, 

 thus with the first two segments dorsally much mixed with orange. 



Forewing with termen gently curved, not at all projecting at R 3 ; SC 1 arising 

 well before SC 5 ; ground-colour from near base predominantly dull purplish, really 

 extremely variegated, brighter rosy-purple scales prevailing proximally, darker red- 

 brown ones distally, a dark admixture also in base behind cell, some greyish scales
