74 NOTITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



spot; a slightly pale, dentate line suggested between them; subterminal not very 

 conspicuous, consisting of slightly pale lunules, interrupted by the veins and 

 accompanied proximally and distally by blackish spots ; termen with thick black 

 lunules ; cell-mark placed in a blackish spot, bright fulvous, somewhat angled at 

 the origin of R 2 and slightly extended along that vein, in some examples suggesting 



an irregular, inverted Greek gamma. Hindwing similar, without the antemedian 



lines or enlarged costal spots, cell-spot nearly without the fulvous mark. 



Underside almost uniform dark slate-colour, with slightly darker cell-spots. 



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

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



Rather near fidviradiata Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 138) and brunneotacta Warr. 

 (xiv. 168). 



156. Arycanda leugalea sp. nov. 



? , 48 mm. Head and body grey, tinged, especially on underside, with 

 brownish. 



Forewing slaty grey, for the most part irrorated or strignlated with darker, 

 more brownish grey ; costal margin (except near base) and the spaces between 

 each pair of dark markings clearer grey ; some slight dark maculation near base ; 

 antemedian line double, curved, slightly sinuous, the proximal element broken into 

 rather large interneural spots, the distal slightly thickened on the veins ; cell-mark 

 elongate, slightly broken, narrowly pale on the cross-vein itself; median line 

 single, from costa just before middle, slightly oblique outwards, strongly curving 

 round between radials, thence strongly oblique inwards, touching the posterior 

 extremity of cell and reaching hindmargin at one-third ; postmedian double, 

 dentate, bent at R 1 , slightly incurved at fold, distal element expanded into rather 

 large spots ; subterminal line somewhat lunulate-dentate, accompanied proximally 

 and distally by dark interueural spots, after crossing M 2 straight and oblique 

 to tornus ; terminal line interrupted at the veins, rather thickened between ; 



a slender pale line at base of fringe. Hindwing with median line well proximal 



to cell-mark, obsolete anteriorly to SC ; cell-mark and all beyond it as on 

 forewing. 



Underside grey, broadly but very vaguely darker distally ; cell-spots present, 

 •not very strong. 



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

 Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



None of the markings are very sharp. At first sight suggests a poorly- 

 coloured form of the preceding. 



157. Stenocharta multiplaga sp. nov. 



<5 $ , 39-40 mm. Face white. Palpus blackish, first joint and proximal two- 

 thirds of second joint narrowly yellow beneath. Vertex and occiput blackish, with 

 a slight paler admixture. Thorax and abdomen black above, white beneath ; a 

 yellowish spot on tegula. 



Forewing brown-black, with a white spot in cell about 3 mm. from base, a 

 white discal patch as in quadriplaga Walk. {List Lep. Ins. xxxi. 207) and an 

 oval white submarginal spot between R 1 and the fold behind R 2 ; in one example
