NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 59- 



outwards at abdominal margin ; diseal mark fuscons, comma-shaped ; postmedian, 

 line nearly vertical from about middle of costa to R 3 or M 1 , here curved, becoming 

 parallel with termen or more oblique inwards, darkened on M 2 , then sharply bent, 

 running very obliquely outwards to two-thirds hindmargin ; the ferruginous band 

 beyond narrower than on forewing, obsolete anteriorly ; a fuscous shade proximally 

 to the snbferminal, at least in anterior half; ferruginous vein-spots (the anterior- 

 ones large) near termen ; termen and fringe as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath largely smoky, the distal area wholly so; the three lines. 

 and the cell-dot feebly indicated. Hindwing beneath less smoky, excepting in 

 submarginal band ; the two lines and cell-mark distinct. 



Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea : Upper Setekwa River, 2000-3000 ft., 

 August and September 1910 (type) ; near Oetakwa River, up to 3500 ft., October- 

 December 1910 (A. S. Meek). All in coll. Tring Mus. 



Ne&rjlexilinea Warr. (JS 7 ov. Zool. x. 392), the lines weaker, not so extremely 

 flexuous, etc.; the ferruginous distal shadings recall apicata Warr. (xiv. 173), but. 

 are less well defined, less restricted. 



123. Myrioblephara vivida signata subsp. nov. 



S ? . Rather larger than vivida vivida Warr. {Nov. Zool. x. 394), the irroration, 

 and markings darker, especially the outer spot of the forewing at R'-M 1 . Hindwing 

 with the median shade thicker, rather more distally placed, postmedian line farther 

 removed from cell-spot. 



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

 7000 ft., January and February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



124. Myrioblephara transcendens sp. nov. 



g, 28 mm. Head and body mostly coucolorous with wings. Palpus darkened 

 on outer side. Metathorax and third and fourth abdominal segments each with. 

 dark dorsal patch. 



Forewing whitish, irrorated and clouded with brown, a part of the basal area,, 

 a narrow, ill-defined band proximal to the postmedian and another proximal to the 

 subterminal remaining whiter ; costal margin with some blackish spots ; ante- 

 median line curved, median obsolescent, apparently scarcely beyond the cell-mark, 

 the entire area between it and the antemedian filled-in with brown, mixed with 

 blackish ; cell-mark black, longer than broad ; postmedian feeble, except as blackish 

 vein-dots, from just before two-thirds costa, excnrved between R 1 and R 2 , then 

 incurved ; an elongate blackish-mixed blotch distally to this, between R 2 and M 1 , 

 nearly as in proximata Warr. (Nov. Zool. xiv. 174), but larger ; the whitish band 

 beyond starts from the subterminal between SO 5 and R 1 , is arcuate inwards, 

 confluent again with the subterminal between R 3 and M 1 , then again incurved, 

 almost interrupted on M 1 , broadening rapidly to hindmargin; subterminal dentate, 

 not conspicuous, more or less filled-in proximally with dark spots, except where 

 interrupted by the curved band; terminal area dark-mixed between radials and 

 towards tornus ; termen with black interneural dots ; fringe with fine pale lines at 



base and beyond middle and with weak dark spots opposite the veins. Hindwing 



with strong double dark line proximally to the cell-dot, not reaching costa, curved 

 outward at abdominal margin ; postmedian sinuous, black-dotted on veins, not
