202 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIII. 1916. 



31. Ornithospila submonstrans moluccensis subsp. nov. 



Costal margin of forewing as in 0. bipunctata Prout, the lines also approximated, 

 as in that species, and rather more weakly crenulate than in s. submonstrans ; spots 

 on fringe somewhat intermediate between those of the two forms named. 



Laiwui, Obi, September 1897 (W. Doherty), type in coll. Tring Mus. Also 

 others from this locality and Obi Major (including 1 $) and from Batjan. 



The superficial approach of this race to 0. bipunctata does not at all extend to 

 the discal marks, which are on an average even stronger than in s. submonstrans. 



32. Ornithospila odontogramma spec. nov. 



S ?, 40-4S mm. Face green. First and second joints of palpns whitish, with 

 a red-brown stripe on upper part of outer side, also at tip of second joint ; third 

 joint blackish fuscous. A narrow white fillet between antennae. Antennal pectina- 

 tions of <$ relatively long, continuing farther distally than in avicularia. Thorax 

 and abdomen green, beneath whitish. 



Foreiving bright apple-green, at least as vivid as in avicularia ; costal edge 

 whitish, strongly dotted and spotted with pinkish grey ; lines rather distinct, dark 

 green, the pale edging on the reverse sides very weak ; postmedian farther removed 

 from antemedian than in the other species, especially in anterior part, where it 

 bulges outward, more deeply dentate than in any other of the genus; cell-dot rather 

 large, red, mixed with blackish ; the smaller mark on DC 2 also present (otherwise 

 only occurring in avicularia); terminal line developed; fringe pinkish white or very 

 pale pink, darkened at the vein-ends, proximally somewhat whiter between them. 



Hindwing withont first line, the angulated cell-mark strong, the rest as on 



forewing. 



Forewing beneath paler, at hindmargin whitish ; cell-mark strong ; lines feebly 

 indicated, not dentate; terminal line and fringe nearly as above. Hindwing beneath 

 dirty yellowish green, at termen greener; cell-mark and green postmedian line 

 indicated ; terminal line and fringe nearly as above. 



Moluccas : Obi Major (Waterstradt), type and others ; Batjan, March 1892 

 (W. Doherty; also from Waterstradt); Amboina, February and August 1892 (W. 

 Doherty). A series in coll. Tring Mus. Also a single worn 8 from Kayeli, Buru, 

 March 1897 (W. Doherty). 



Differs from submonstrans moluccensis in the absence of green band on palpus, 

 presence of red mark on DC 3 of forewing, much more dentate lines, etc. 



33. Ornithospila viridimargo spec. nov. 



?, 41 mm. Face green. First joint of palpus white; second joint green, 

 mixed with white beneath ; third joint long, dark reddish fuscous. Vertex green, 

 narrowly white between the antennae. Thorax and abdomen green, partly white 

 beneath. 



Foreiving with apex not acute, termen almost smooth, very gently curved ; 

 bright green, not quite so yellowish as in the other species ; costal edge, except at 

 extreme base, very narrowly whitish with green and red-brown dots ; lines vague, 

 dull reddish ; antemedian almost obsolete ; postmedian deeply lunulate-dentate, 

 about 4 mm. from termen at radials, receding (but almost obsolete) anteriorly, very 

 gently incurved between R 3 and SM 2 ; discal dot rather small, dull reddish, mixed
