76 NOVITATES ZOOLOQICAE XXIII. 1916. 



Foreioing as far as the postniedian line mostly glossy dark fuscous, the pale 

 markings with a slight vinous tinge ; these consist of: some short costal strigulae, 

 sometimes more extended over the anterior area; a streak from base along M, 

 somewhat diffused anteriorly into cell, continued along R 3 and M 1 , with more or less 

 irroration between these veins ; a strongly zigzag line from before middle of costa, 

 thick and oblique outwards at first, then very strongly bent and running close in 

 front of the median stripe, which it crosses at origin of M 2 , thick and nearly vertical 

 to just behind fold, excessively fine inward (or obsolete) to SM 2 at 3 mm. from base, 

 finally thick and forming an oblique curve to about one-fourth hindmargin ; post- 

 median line of the same colour, fine, from costa midway between median line and 

 apex, equally oblique outwards to R 1 , then parallel with termen, crenulate and 

 slightly sinuous, more strongly sinuate inwards at fold, very oblique inwards from 

 SM 2 to hindmargin; distal area white, strongly dusted (except in part at termen) with 

 brown and fuscous, the veins vinous tinged, a triangular fuscous spot at costa close 

 to apex, a small one between R 3 and M 1 and an elongate one from M 2 to tornus ; 

 terminal line fine, swollen into spots between the veins ; fringe vinous-tinged 

 proximally, more whitish distally, cut throughout by large, subtriangnlar dark 



spots opposite the veins. Hindivinq glossy, very pale greyish, with faintly 



darker cell-mark and postmedian line ; ground-colour beyond the latter slightly 

 whiter ; fringe vinous-tinged. 



Forewing beneath much more feebly marked, the dark subapical triangle 

 rather strong ; fringe nearly as above. Hindwing beneath densely dark-dusted 

 as far as the thick, dentate postmedian line ; cell-spot strong ; distal area 

 pale, but with dark terminal line, interrupted by the veins, strongly thickened 

 between. 



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. 



In some respects intermediate between errabunda Warr. {Nov. Zool. xiii. 145) 

 and rufivenata Warr. {ibid. 146), larger and relatively somewhat longer-winged than 

 either, with paler hindwing, etc. 



Asthenophleps gen. no v. 



Face sloping, somewhat rough-scaled below. Palpus with second joint shortly 

 rough-scaled, upturned in front of face, third joint smooth, rather elongate. 

 Tongue present. Antenna in ef nearly simple, closely lamellate. Pectus some- 

 what hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in S dilated, all spurs developed. 

 Abdomen in S rather elongate, anal tuft strong. Forewing with costa arched, 

 termen rather prominent at R 3 , more oblique behind, very faintly sinuous ; cell 

 well over one-half, DC 1 strongly oblique, DC 2-3 incurved, becoming oblique ; O 

 well free, SC 1-2 stalked, SO 3-5 normal, R 2 weak, M 1 separate. Hindwing with 

 costal margin strongly arched posteriorly, apex weak, termen bent at R 1 , thence 

 slightly sinuous ; cell slightly over one-half, DC curved ; C approximated to 

 SC to almost one-half cell, rapidly diverging, SC 2 just separate, R 2 wanting, 

 M 1 separate. 



Type of the genus : Asthenophleps strigulata sp. nov. 



Akin to Phrudophlebs Warr. {Nov. Zool. x. 413), termen not crenulate, R 2 of 

 forewing not altogether wanting, C of hindwing approximated to the cell for a 

 longer distance, etc.
