NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 67 



posttnedian thence to across R 2 are thickened, giving the impression that a thick 

 obliqne median shade crosses a fine line from midcosta to middle of hindmargin ; 

 a subterminal line of indistinct, separated pale lunules, the anterior ones dark- 

 edged proximally ; a slight dark costal spot between this and the postmedian and 

 ill-defined distal dark spots before and behind R 1 ; terminal dark dots connected by 



very weak lannlate line. Hindwing with termen crenulate ; costal margin as 



far as postmedian line unmarked ; otherwise concolorous with forewing ; autemedian 

 line basal, median nearly straight, well proximal to the cell-mark, which is as on 

 forewing but more distinct; postmedian fine, arising at costa nearly opposite 

 subterminal of forewing, slightly sinuate inward before R 1 and very slightly 

 curved inward posteriorly (outward again at abdominal margin) ; subterminal line 

 with the heaviest dark shading in its posterior half. 



Both wings beneath with the markings weak and somewhat diffuse. 



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

 Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



139. Paralcis aurautifascia sp. no v. 



?, 35 mm. Head and upperside of thorax dark red-brown, mixed with black. 

 Thorax beneath and abdomen dark slate-grey mixed with black. 



Forewing in proximal half red-brown with black irroration, black spots near 

 base indicating an interrupted subbasal line, black antemedian line at about 3 mm., 

 thick at costa, angled outwards just behind C, curved outwards behind M and 

 inwards in approaching SM 2 , a weaker median shade nearly parallel to the post- 

 median ; the red-brown area bounded by the black postmedian line, which is strong 

 throughout, very thick anteriorly, and arises from costa just before one-half, is 

 oblique outwards to R 3 , but forming two very shallow concavities separated by a 

 small outward angle at R 1 , then mainly vertical to hindmargin rather beyond two- 

 thirds, but strongly lunulate-dentate ; area between postmedian and subterminal iii 

 anterior half orange-brown, with a few- black dots and strigulae on the costa and 

 dark strigulae on the veins, in posterior half mixed with whitish and strongly 

 dark-irrorated; subterminal line whitish, deeply lunulate-dentate, interrupted 

 between R 3 and M\ accompanied proximally by blackish spots at costa and hind- 

 margin and with the lunules more or less filled-in with blackish ; terminal area 

 orange-brown, very densely dark-irrorated except a small space in front of M 1 ; a 



terminal row of thick blackish strokes ; fringe chequered. Hindwing uniform 



dark slate-colour. 



Underside : hindwing and proximal part of forewing dark slate-colour ; fore- 

 wing with a broad oblique orange band, its proximal edge nearly straight from 

 midcosta to tornus, its distal from three-fourths costa to termen just behind R 3 ; 

 apical area again grey, but somewhat dotted and strigulated with orange. 



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

 Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



140. Eucharidema euanthes sp. nov. 



<?, 56-60 mm. Head and palpus brown-black. Thorax above mostly deeper 

 black, with a narrow, somewhat interrupted anterior orange-brown band. Abdomen 

 brown-black, mixed above with blue-black.
