356 PARAZOMA. By L. B. Prout. 
H. contaminata Warr. (38b). Basal patch sharply darkened in its distal part only; ante- 
median line strongly bent near costa, postmedian with strong central prong; a rather large grey (proximally 
brown) subterminal cloud before the middle. The median band in the type form is predominantly whitish, 
only dark-marked at the costal and posterior ends of the antemedian and (usually less strongly) at parts of 
the postmedian. — ab. eompleta Warr. has the entire median band infuscated. — ab. semipleta nov., a from 
Mount Goliath, has the distal half of the band blackish from the central angle to the hindmargin. The other 
forms were described from Angabunga River and have the same range as albicristata. 
H. labeculata Prout (38 b) differs from rufilunata in its larger $ (30—31 mm), its slightly less white 
colouring, less heavy and less broadened subbasal band, much less irregular antemedian, rather better defined 
subterminal, etc. Kinabalu. deviaria subsp. nov. is so similar that it may be provisionally treated as a race. 
The antemedian line, instead of forming an almost regular curve, is noticeably angled outward behind the sub¬ 
costal and inward about the fold (though less irregular than in rufilunata) , the postmedian of both wings on 
the whole a little more produced centrally, the rusty mark (between postmedian and subterminal shades of 
forewing) almost obsolete. Papua: Mt. Tufa, 8500feet, 2^^, 4 $$; Mondo, 5000feet, 1 <$ (MissL. E. Cheesman), 
type series in the British Museum. 
H. rufilunata Warr. (38 c). From all but the very palest aberrations of contaminata readily distinguishable 
by the cleaner white colour of both wings. Subbasal more strongly bent in cell; antemedian twice angled 
outward, after the second angulation very oblique inward; postmedian prong somewhat less acute; the mark 
just outside it brighter, almost rufous, only accompanied at the subterminal by w e a k grey clouding. Anga¬ 
bunga River (type), Mount Tafa and Mount Goliath. 
H. lichenosa Warr. (38 c). Very near rufilunata, possibly a colour-form of it, with a delicate green suf¬ 
fusion over the forewing and a stronger dark border to the hindwing. Median band traversed by more distinct 
wavy lines. Angabunga River (type), Biagi, Mount Tafa and Mount Goliath. 
H. disrupta Warr. (38 c). Colouring nearly as in lichenosa, yet it is a very distinct species. Forewing 
with cell-spot large, the principal lines broadly, but interruptedly, marked with black; subbasal more angular, 
antemedian much less so, postmedian with a V-shaped anterior projection. — $-ab. nebulata nov. Black mark¬ 
ings still broader, on a less greenish white ground; the area on each side of the median band heavily clouded 
with dark grey. As this specimen, a large $ from Angabunga River, was the only $ obtained from the type 
locality, Warren naturally supposed that this was the normal allotype and so described it. I have before me, 
however, a $ from the Kratke Mountains which agrees absolutely in size and markings with the <$, though its 
ground-colour is slightly less greenish, disrupta is distributed in the mountains of New' Guinea. 
H. aeolotis Prout (38 c). Variegated; in shape of proximal markings and size of cell-spot intermediate 
between the two preceding species; post median with a subcostal indentation, then almost straight to the 
point of the central projection; a blackish subterminal shade from costa to 3rd radial, containing a light blue- 
grev spot. Mount Goliath, common. 
H. albimedia Warr. (38 e). Large and absolutely unmistakable, by the shape of its blackish markings 
and its continuous dark slaty outer shade. Angabunga River. In the type form the median band is white. - 
ab. brunneotincta Warr. Median band, except at costa, bright brown, a projection of this colour running in¬ 
ward to the basal patch between the fold and 2nd submedian. 
H. caliginosa Warr. (38 c). Much darker than the preceding group and less glossy, the palpus shortish. 
Moreover the areole is simple and probably some better position will be found for it when it is more thoroughly 
studied; perhaps a larger and differently shaped Parazoma. Biagi. A <$ from Mount Goliath with a large part 
of the median area lighter brown, but not in very fresh condition, probably represents a race. 
86. Genus: I*arazoma Prout. 
Palpus rather long. Antenna in the minutely ciliated. Thorax with posterior crest. Forewing with 
nearly the shape and pattern of a Perizoma, but with the areole undivided, very large. Hindwing moderately 
ample, discocellulars slightly or scarcely biangulate, 2nd radial nearly central. Probably an offshoot of Horisme, 
from which it differs chiefly in the simple areole. Type of the genus: P. ferax Prout. Here obviously belongs 
also semifusca Warr. and perhaps the eccentric hypobasis; possibly also a few crested species which are still 
reckoned to Perizoma, e. g., contrastaria Sterneclc. 
P. semifusca Warr. (38 c). Hindwing with discocellulars not biangulate; in the typical form dis¬ 
tinguishable from ferax by the dark border of the hindwing; in any case very distinct in the shape of the median 
band and other characters. Khasis — swanni form. n. (38 d) is sharply marked and lacks the dark border of
