NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 65 



Foreioing with SC 1-2 coincident ; glossy timbreous, much strigulated and 

 clouded with blackish fnscous, the largest cloudings being between the postmedian 

 and subterminal lines from costa to R 3 and in the terminal area except at apex and 

 in the region of R 3 ; brown on median vein, widening into a streak along and behind 

 R 3 ; lines fine, white, mixed with brown, more or less edged with blackish fuscous ; 

 antemedian sinuous, at about one-fourth ; postmedian finely crenulate, from about 

 five-eighths costa, bent outward before R 3 , angled at R 3 , slightly bent inward 

 behind M 2 ; accompanied proximally by an elongate white, brown-mixed (at least 

 at costa) narrow half-band, which terminates at R 3 ; cell-spot large, roundish, 

 blackish-fuscous, finely pale on the cross-vein ; subterminal line interrupted by the 

 streak along R 3 , strongly zigzag in posterior half ; an oblique brown (sometimes 

 whitish-mixed) line from apex, widening after crossing the subterminal, curving 

 slightly so as to become rather less oblique ; usually also an inwardly oblique line 

 from the point where the line crosses the subterminal (R 1 ) to costa, where it is 

 furcate; terminal dark lunules thick between the veins ; a fine pale line at base 

 of fringe and traces of a still finer intersecting one in middle, also of pale streaks 



or chequering between the veins. Hindwing grey, with ill-defined darker grey 



cell-spot, median and postmedian lines, and subterminal shadings. 



Both wings beneath glossy grey, with large darker cell-spot (strongest in ? ) 

 and very narrow whitish half-band or patch beyond it, at least on forewing (strong 

 and broader on both wings in ? ) ; a small whitish apical spot on forewing, 

 strongest in ?. 



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

 October — December 1910 (A. S. Meek). Two pairs in coll. Tring Mus. 



Perhaps a local form of fidvisecta Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 149), the antemedian 

 line much less angulated. 



135. Paralcis pallidimargo gigas subsp. nov. 



S ? , 39-45 mm. In addition to the considerably larger size, differs from 

 name-typical pallidimargo "Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 150) in having less definite pale 

 distal areas ; that of the forewing above is more strongly dark-clouded than even 

 in the male of the name-type (the $ name-type is here free from clouding), that of 

 the hindwing above narrow, not sharply defined ; similar differences are fully as, 

 or still more, noticeable beneath. 



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. 



136. Paralcis latimedia extrema subsp. nov. 



Forewinq slightly darker than in name-typical latimedia Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 

 150), the median area still broader (at costal margin 9 mm.), yet reaching hind- 

 margin slightly farther from termen, on account of an inward bend of its distal edge 



behind SM 2 . Hindwing also darker (more greyish), a discal spot well discernible. 



— Both wings beneath more strongly irrorated than in latimedia latimedia and with 

 large dark discal spot. . 



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