NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIII. 1916. 63 



slightly connected by a very fine line ; commencing about 5 mm. from apex, slightly 

 incarved between SC 4 and R 1 , slightly angled outwards at SM 2 , then very oblique 

 inwards to hindmargin ; median line feeble, very near postmedian ; cell-mark 

 blackish fuscous ; a streak of the ground-colour distally to it between R 1 and R 2 ; 

 a baud near terrnen, strikingly clear, whitish butt ; subterminal line indicated by 

 blackish dots, especially at costa, before SC 5 and in the radial cellules ; termen, 

 except apically, with slight red-brown shading (fuscous about R 1 ) ; terminal line 

 creuulate, termen itself smooth : fringe feebly (opposite SC 5 and R 1 more strongly) 



dark-spotted. Hindwing dirty whitish, somewhat sprinkled and clouded with 



fuscous towards abdominal margin ; discal dot faint ; very feeble indications 

 posteriorly of a crenulate median line ; a fuscous postmedian line from abdominal 

 margin, formed as on forewing, but becoming obsolescent, not traceable anteriorly 

 to SO 2 ; a slight fuscous cloud from abdominal margin to M 1 beyond this ; a shorter, 

 fainter line close to tornns ; terminal line chiefly indicated by interneural dots 

 which do not touch the termen ; fringe lighter than on forewing. 



Forewing beneath mostly infuscated as far as postmedian line, the patch 

 distally to the cell-sp^t and the hindtnarginal region paler; cell-spot distinct; 

 postmedian line slightly more distal than above, slightly curved anteriorly ; distal 

 band anteriorly less clear than above. Hindwing beneath more butt' than above, 

 with more uniform dark irroration ; cell-dot and postmedian line of slightly con- 

 nected dots well expressed, the latter reaching costal margin. 



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

 in coll. Tring Mus. 



132. Paralcis prionophora sp. no v. 



S, 36-37 mm. Palpus rather short, strong. Antenna rather long, ciliation 

 not quite as long as diameter of shaft. Hindtibia not dilated. Head and body 

 for the most part concolorons with wings, face darkened, palpus mostly blackish, 

 abdomen with dark fuscous lateral tufts. 



Forewing with fovea not strong; SO 1-2 coincident; pinkish brown, with not 

 very strong fuscous irroration, the principal veins somewhat more strongly dotted 

 with fuscous ; a moderate, round black cell-spot ; lines blackish ; antemedian 

 consisting of three vein-spots, the first and third extended to wing-margins, the 

 third nearer the base than the others, each accompanied proximally by a pale spot ; 

 median from considerably beyond middle, oblique outwards at first, then strongly 

 serrate and close to the postmedian, its distal (interneural) teeth in part reaching 

 thereto ; postmedian from three-fourths costa, nearly parallel with termen, though 

 slightly sinuous and slightly approaching it at hindmargin ; consisting of pale 

 lunules (in middle of wing mere dots), with blackish dots or longer marks edging 

 them proximally and in part distally, small wedge-shaped vein-marks alternating 

 with interneural dots on the proximal side ; subterminal line indicated anteriorly 

 by pure white interneural dots, the first two or three minute, accompanied by 

 larger blackish dots proximally, the last three (between SC 5 and R 3 ) larger and 

 conspicuous, accompanied by minute blackish dots distally ; termen with a weak, 

 luuulate dark line, moderate-sized dark interneural dots between the lunules con- 

 sequently not quite touching the termen, which is nearly smooth ; fringe feebly 



dark-chequered. Hindwing with termen gently crenulate ; slightly paler than 



forewing ; median line continued, but farther from postmedian, nearly straight but
