58 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 191G. 



121. Dyscheralcis retro flexa sp. no v. 



c? ?, 29-32 mm. Head white, face with a slight dark bar across middle, palpus 

 dark-marked at ends of first and second joints. Body dirty white. Fore and 

 middle legs with black patches at end of tibia and of tarsal joints. 



Forewing white, with quite inconspicuous light fuscous irroration or short 

 strigulation ; markings dark fuscous ; a thick line close to base ; antemedian line 

 from costa at about one-fourth, somewhat excurved to fold, then suddenly inbent to 

 SM 2 ; accompanied proximally by a narrow band, which under the lens appears 

 finely fluted (like the dark markings of many Myrioblephara, etc.), and which 

 narrows and parts somewhat from the line posteriorly ; median shade strong 

 anteriorly, rather oblique outward, crossing cell-spot but becoming obsolete; cell- 

 spot long-oval, blackish at edges, paler in middle; postmedian line from before 

 two-thirds costa, strongest at veins, slightly oblique outwards to behind R 3 , inwards 

 to M 1 , then obsolete, reappearing at M 2 much farther from termen (almost as a 

 continuation of median shade), but weak and irregular, oblique outwards to beyond 

 two-thirds hindmargin ; an indistinct, interrupted shade or line distally to the 

 postmedian ; subterminal line dentate, fairly well expressed anteriorly, on account 

 of a narrowing greyish apical shade ; termen with dark interneural streaks ; fringe 



weakly spotted. Hinchoing more heavily irrorated, the costal margin, a small 



patch at abdominal margin near base and some patches between the postmediau 

 and subterminal shades remaining clear ; a thick line from abdominal margin close 

 to base ; cell-mark black, narrower than on forewing ; median line sinuous, chiefly 

 indicated by black vein-dots between cell-spot and abdominal margin ; the rest 

 nearly as on forewing. 



Both wing's beneath dirty whitish, the forewing slightly the more smoky and 

 with dark cell-mark and weak apical shade. 



Mount Goliath, Central Dutch New Guinea, January and February 1911 

 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



122. Myrioblephara trifaria sp. nov. 



(3 ? , 28 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, mixed with ferruginous. Palpus at 

 base white, otherwise mostly ferruginous. Thorax and abdomen above ochreous- 

 whitish, mixed with ferruginous ; a bar of ferruginous at end of metathorax and 

 base of abdomen. Foreleg infuscated, except at ends of joints. 



Forewing dull white, with sparse fuscons irroration ; proximal area pre- 

 dominantly dull ferruginous ; antemedian line fuscous, slightly sinuous, thick from 

 two-sevenths costa about to fold, then obsolete ; discal dot small and weak ; a 

 weakly S-shaped ferruginous median line, starting from a bright costal spot, in 

 middle weak, its outward curve just distal to the cell-dot ; postmedian fuscous, 

 from about three-fifths costa, excurved from R 1 nearly to R 3 , almost vertical to 

 costa to behind M 1 , here slightly bent, somewhat sinuous to three-fourths hind- 

 margin ; accompanied distally by a broad, posteriorly narrowing, dull ferruginous 

 band, which merges in anterior part into some dull ferruginous, fuscous-mixed 

 apical shading ; subterminal line crenulate, only distinct (more or less fuscous- 

 bounded) in anterior half; an ill-defined pale terminal spot between R 3 and M 1 ; 

 another at tornus, partly cut by a ferruginous-fuscous tornal line ; terminal dots 



fuscous, elongate; fringe weakly spotted. Hindwing with ferruginous median 



line strong, placed as a continuation of the antemedian, rather strongly oblique
