NOVITATES ZOOLOGICÄE XXIII. 1910. 71 



Near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch New Guinea, October — 

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



This species is not a true Bordeta in so far as that genus is characterised by 

 sexual dimorphism in shape (cfr, Rothschild, Nov. Zool. ii. 418), but I am not 

 at present able to undertake a generic revision. 



147. Craspedosis aurigutta longigutta subsp. nov. 



Differs from aurigutta aurigutta Warr. (Nov- Zool. ix. 366) in having the 

 orange band longer in proportion to its width, in the type specimen almost three 

 times as long as wide ; in both forms it is somewhat variable, but when broadened 

 in the form longigutta it is also lengthened, crossing the submedian fold, which is 

 never the case in the form aurigutta. Moreover, in the new race the distance 

 between the band and the termen at the fold is less than half that between band 

 and base, in aurigutta aurigutta more than half. 



Ninay Valley, Dutch New Guinea, February and March 1909. Type in coll.

148. Craspedosis andromeda sp. nov. 



c??, 43-50 mm. Head and body dull olive-grey, with the upperside of 

 thorax and of first abdominal segment plumbeous. 



Forewing plumbeous ; a pale buff band from SO in middle of wing-length 

 almost to hindmargiu close to tornus, 4 or 5 mm. wide through most of its course, 

 sometimes tapering posteriorly. Hindwing uniform plumbeous. 



Underside the same. 



Ninay Valley, Dutch New Guinea, February and March 1909. Type in coll. 

 Tring Mus. 



Related to semilugens Warr. (Nov. Zool. iii. 399), in which the band is white, 

 differently shaped, the hindwing less nnicolorous. 



149. Craspedosis flavithorax sp. nov. 



cf ¥ , 50-55 mm. Very similar to leucosticta Warr. (Nov. Zool. iii. 398) and 



aruensis Pagenst. (,/. B. Nass. Ver. Nat. xxxix. 164), but differing from all the 



forms of those species in having the thorax above largely yellow ; abdomen yellow, 



with some black dorsal belts, sometimes confined to the anterior segments, in the 



? almost obsolete. 



Wings with the white spots broad but not very long, on forewing not, on 

 hindwing not greatly extending anteriorly to R 1 ; that of the hindwing in the c? is 

 narrowly black-edged at the abdominal margin, inner-marginal fringe yellow ; 

 forewing also with some yellow scales at base of hindmargin and a white spot on 

 fovea ; outer line weaker than in aruensis, about as in leucosticta. 



Dutch New Guinea : near Oetakwa River, October-December 1910, 3 c?cf 

 (including type) ; Ellanden River, December 1910 (A. S. Meek). In coll. Tring 

 Mus. 



150. Craspedosis casta triangularis subsp. nov. 



S ? , 47-50 mm. Rather larger (in the ? ) than casta casta Warr. (Nov. Zool. 

 x. 387), base black to 3 mm. on hindmargin, the black colour then running out
