NOVITATES ZOOLOUICAE XXIII. 1916. 61 



127. Myrioblephara mixticolor sp. nov. 



c?, 30-33 mm. Larger than miscellanea Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiv. 173), 

 coloration similar, ground-colour slightly paler. Face more uniformly coloured, 

 inclining to ferruginous. Wing-markings very distinct from those of miscellanea 

 in the following particulars. 



Forewing w"ith antemedian Hue much more oblique inwards ; median line 

 more feeble ; postmedian acutely angled outwards behind R 1 ; fringe with strong 



dark spots at vein-ends. Hindwing with both the lines strongly sinuous, the 



antemedian approaching the " S-shape," the postmedian near the cell-spot, bending 

 in towards it between the radials, strongly outwards at R 3 -M' and very deeply 

 inwards at submedian fold ; fringe with strong dark spots. 



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

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



128. Myrioblephara cnecobathra sp. nov. 



? , 28 mm. Head and palpus buff, slightly mixed with ferruginous. Thorax 

 buff. Legs on the inner side blackish, outside more varied light and dark. 

 Abdomen dorsally buff, with a pair of dark spots on the first segment ; beneath 

 mostly smoky. 



Forewing buff from base to first line, otherwise dark grey irrorated with shiny 

 whitish scales ; costal edge dotted with ochreous ; markings deep fuscous ; first 

 line from one-fifth costa, rather thick, curved and somewhat oblique inward, closely 

 followed by a finer, more interrupted line ; cell-spot black, slightly elongate ; 

 median line fine, acutely angled distally to the cell-spot, both ends of which it 

 touches, then slightly incurved and oblique inward ; followed distally by a broader, 

 anteriorly obsolescent shade ; postmedian line from two-thirds costa to beyond 

 two-thirds bindmargin, incurved between M 1 and SM 2 , throughout with very short 

 thick proximal teeth on the veins ; a shade about 1 mm. wide distally to and 

 parallel with this ; a fine irregularly crenulate subterminal line, indicated by 

 irregular dark shades proximally and distally, the proximal thickened between the 

 radials and from M 2 to hindmargin, the distal between radials and between 

 medians ; tornus pale ; terminal black dots not very strong ; fringe weakly spotted. 



Hindwing without buff base ; antemedian line indicated by a spot on abdominal 



margin close to base ; double median curved, just proximal to the comma-shaped 

 cell-mark ; distal half nearly as on forewing. 



Forewing beneath slightly more ochreous, with strong smoky suffusions, 

 especially along submedian area and in entire distal area ; base pale, partly tinged 

 with buff ; cell-mark strong ; lines feeble. Hindwing beneath pale from base to 

 postmedian line, both the median lines distinct, cell-mark strong ; distal area 

 smoky, except a part of abdominal margin. 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 October— December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. Also 3 ? ? from 

 Mount Goliath. 



129. Myrioblephara ligdioides contradicta subsp. nov. 



Ground-colour more mixed with light brown than in ligdioides ligdioides Warr. 

 (Nov. Zool. x. 392) ; median area of forewing slightly less broad, the proximal 

 band being somewhat further removed from the base ; a black discal mark present,
