long, drooping. Transtilla knob with a short median projection (Slide 
No. 427 D, holotype). 
Moss Forest Camp, 2600 — 2800 m, October 9 — November 5, 1938 
(holotype); five km northeast of Lake Habbema, 2800 m, October 13,

Parachorista basalis eombin. nov. 
Isotenes basalis Diakonoff, 1941, Treubia, vol. 18, pp. 32 — 33, pi. 1, fig. 2 (gen. £). 
Distribution: Northeast New Guinea, Hunsteinspitze, 1350 m. 
Rattan Camp, 1200 m, February 12, 1939 (Slide No. 388 D). Iebele 
Camp, 2250 m, November 7, 1938. Two males. Now the genus Isotenes 
becomes better known, we are satisfied that the present species must be 
transferred to the genus Parachorista', it is nearest to the preceding species.
