NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 193 



N. Borneo. Perhaps viridaria Moore, from N. India, is another race of the same 

 collective species, as it differs in little except the broader wings and duller, more 

 black-mottled undersurface. 



6. Epipristis nelearia viridans subsp. nov. 



Both wings above more strongly and uniformly suffused with greenish than 

 in the name-type, the black lines fine, not very intense, very regular, not inten- 

 sified towards costal margin of forewing. Dark border beneath not very broad, 

 smoothly margined, recalling rufilunata Warr. {Nov. Zool. x. 352), which is also an 

 Epipristis. 



Lower Aroa River, British New Guinea, November 1904 — March 1905 (A. S. 

 Meek). 2 ? ? in coll. Tring Mus. 



7. Pingasa lariaria manilensis subsp. nov. 



$, 48 mm. Smaller than lariaria lariaria Walk., relatively rather broader 

 winged, with stronger admixture of red scales ; antemedian line of forewing less 

 deeply dentate, postmedian of both wings with the teeth not quite so ample ; 

 underside with the yellow proximal shading somewhat restricted, the black distal 

 border slightly less broad than in the name-type. 



Philippines. Type (near Manila, J. Whitehead) in coll. Tring Mus. 



Possibly a separate species. Just before going to press, I have seen a c? from 

 Mindanao, in coll. Joicey, slightly smaller, but quite corresponding. 



8. Pingasa pseudoterpnaria gracilis Pront 



In describing this race I omitted to mention that the c? genitalia have been 

 examined and agree with those of pseudoterpnaria tephrosiaria, which is un- 

 doubtedly conspecific with the Japanese uame-type. 



9. Pingasa elutriata spec. nov. 



Much larger than dispensata Walk., from S. India (size of chlora arenaria 

 Guen.), face with the black band of upper part narrowed, both wings with postmedian 

 line less sharply black-marked on the teeth, underside with the submarginal band 

 much paler, more brownish, on the forewing threadlike or almost obsolete from 

 R 3 posteriorly, on the hindwing very narrow, generally of almost equal width 

 throughout, occasionally almost interrupted between R 3 and M 1 . 



Darjiling, type $ and others ; Assam, 1 $ ; in coll. Tring Mus. 



I at first regarded this as a subspecies of dispensata, but the genitalia appear 

 very distinct — valvae larger and more deeply emarginate, etc. 



10. Pingasa blanda (Pagenst.) 



Pseudoterpria blanda Pagenst., Zoologka xii. (29), 151 (1900) (Bismarck Archipelago). 

 Pingasa acutangula Warr., Nov. Zool. x. 352 (1903) (New Guinea). 



The above synonymy has been overlooked, specimens from the Bismarck 

 Archipelago having apparently not reached this country. But Pagenstecher's 

 description leaves no doubt of the identity, and I have before me a fine series of 

 Warren's acutangula from Little Kei, most parts of New Guinea, Goodenough 

 Island, and Rook Island, so that its range in the Papuan subregiou is evidently
