200 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



25. Agathia hilarata latilimes subsp. nov. 



Rather smaller than h. hilarata, the antemedian band of fore wing not quite 

 so oblique posteriori)', the border of both wings broader — at least 1 mm. wide at 

 the narrowest point on each side of the snbapical green patch of the forewing and 

 at hindmargin, at least 2 mm. wide proximally to the green patch of hindwiug — on 

 forewing not containing a white dot between R 3 and M 1 . 



W. Java. Type in coll. Tring. Mus. 



26. Agathia codina australis subsp. nov. 



On an average slightly smaller than c. codina, from the Khasis, but showing 

 especially the following differences : 



Both wings with the dark parts more purplish, in the distal area beneath 



broadened. Forewing with the green apical patch reduced. Hindwing with 



the white costal triangle larger, tinged with violaceous, the postmedian line much 

 more acutely angled at R 3 . 



Penang, November 1896 (Curtis), type and others in coll. Tring Mus. Also 

 from Kina Balu, N. Borneo. 



27. Alloeopage cinerea (Warr.) 



This species, except for the very strong sexual dimorphism, shows little 

 variation on the mainland of New Guinea, but it is very interesting on some 

 outlying islands. The forms at present known may be separated as follows. 



A. cinerea cinerea. This was described {Nov. Zool. iii. 284) from a $ from 

 Fergusson Island, and the c? has not yet been made known. It differs from the S 

 of subsp. velata in its larger size (almost or quite equalling that of the ? name- 

 type), much larger discal mark of forewing, more distinct cell-dot of hindwing, 

 thicker and more distinct lines and frequently confluent dark blotches at the costal 

 end of the -postmedian and subterminal of forewing. Often also the postmedian is 

 marked with black between SC 5 and R 3 , almost as in Helicopage hirundinalis Warr. 



Dutch New Guinea : Ninay Valley, Central Arfak Mountains ; Upper Setekwa 

 River and near Oetakwa River, Snow Mountains. German New Guinea : 

 Stephansort. British New Guinea : Biagi, Mambare River ; Holnicote Bay to 

 Owen Stanley Range; Knmusi River; Upper Aroa River. Fergusson Island. 

 North Queensland : Kuranda and Geralclton, near Cairns. 



A. cinerea virescens subsp. nov. S : size of name-typical form. Foreiuing 



with first line only represented by three conspicuous dots, one at each margin 

 and a large round one in cell ; costal blotches obsolete ; subterminal line broken 



into spots. Hindwing with the lines of distal half thickened posteriorly, but 



not united into a blotch. ? : almost concolorous with <$, the cloudings olivaceous, 

 not brownish or reddish.* 



Rook Island, August 1913 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



A. cinerea velata (— Helicopage velata Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. 390). Besides 

 Warren's type, three others (2 S<$, 1 ?) from Woodlark and a single $ from 

 Rössel Island are in the Tring Museum ; already discussed by Warren, Nov. Zool. 

 vi. 330. Smaller than the two preceding. 



A. cinerea euri subsp. nov. Similar to the preceding, agreeing in size, but 

 differing in that the c? lacks the large grey blotch of the hindwing and has less 



* Warren describes the markings of the name-type partly as "olive-grey," but this is misleading.
