NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 191G. 9 



thence nearly vertical to hindmargin little beyond middle ; a band between this and 

 the subterminal ; snbterminal formed of small teeth anteriorly and large whiter 

 ones posteriorly ; a line distally to the snbterminal, except between radial fold and 

 M 1 ; longitudinal patches from this to termen at R 2 and between M 1 and sabmedian 

 fold ; termen with dark interneural dots, that behind R 3 greener, that behind M 2 

 elongate into a short line; fringe greenish proximally, whitish distally; irregularly 



spotted opposite the veins. Hindwing with the postmedian line central, less 



strongly inbent posteriorly than on forewing ; ground-colour mainly liver-brown 

 (black-speckled) to beyond this line, only with some green in the crests, cell-mark 

 strong, deep black, the black shading also strong about the origin of the medians 

 and at abdominal margin ; distal area more nearly as on forewing, subterminal line 

 feeble, additional liver-brown spots towards apex. 



Forewing beneath with costal edge pale brownish ; a bright ochre-yellow streak 

 behind C from base to near middle ; a very large black cell-spot, about which the 

 ground-colour is white, while posteriorly it is mostly pinkish ; a broad, proximally 

 sinuous-edged snbmarginal band of very deep purple (almost black), containing 

 white snbterminal clots, and throwing out projections to the termen at R 2 and 

 between M 1 aud fold; border otherwise dirty white; fringe spotted. Hindwing 

 with a narrow, slightly bent, white postmedian band ; proximally to this ochre- 

 yellow, becoming dark-dusted in distal part and containing a large black cell-spot ; 

 distal area as on forewing, subterminal dots obsolete. 



Rook Island, July 1913 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mns. 



22. Aeolochroma viridimedia sp. nov. 



S, 46-48 mm. Exceedingly like pi'asina Warr., differing as follows : 



Antennal ciliation longer (nearly as long as diameter of shaft). Ground-colour 

 somewhat lighter and yellower green, in places with rather denser dark irroration. 



Foreiving with a more or less developed dark shade or band just proximally to 

 the median area ; median area predominantly of the ground-colonr, only darkened 

 in the vicinity of the antemedian line and slightly in the distal projection of the 

 postmedian, the light-blue and white scaling in submedian area (sometimes indi- 

 cated in pra&ina) usually developed into a conspicuous patch ; antemedian line 

 more deeply projecting in cell ; postmedian more strongly dentate, with a rather 



stronger outward projection between R 1 and M 1 ; discal dot beneath smaller. 



Hindioing beneath entirely without black shading at abdominal margin ; postmedian 

 white band broader ; distal black band more mixed with red, especially in apical 

 region (in one aberration from Ninay Valley predominantly red). 



Biagi, Mambare River, British New Guinea, 5000 ft., February — April 1906 

 (A. S. Meek), 8 <$S, including type; Ninay Valley, Central Arfak Mountains, Dutch 

 New Guinea, November 1908— January 1909, 2 d> c? ; all in coll. Tring Mns. 



Smaller and shorter- winged than intima Prout, which has similar c? antenna; 

 differently coloured, etc. 



A ? from Biagi which probably belongs here is extremely like the ? of 

 albifusaria Walk., but smaller, less richly coloured, the discal dots small, some 

 light-blue and white scales developed in the same position as in the S, the white 

 postdiscal patch of the forewing less conspicuous than in albifusaria, narrower and 

 differently placed, running obliquely from DC 2 , bounded anteriorly by SC B , the dark 

 line or shade proximally to the snbterminal less developed.
