reniform stigma is a deep brown lauiile with lustrous outline, separated by a plum- 

 beous space fromthe siuuous bluish white outer line. 



Hindicing : white with veins and terminal area fuscous. 



Head and thorax grej'ish ochreons with fine dark speckling ; the dcJrsnm grey 

 without speckling. 



Underside of forewing ochreons with the dark figure showing through ; of 

 hindwiug white with dark bonier narrower.

New Guinea: Milne Bay (type) ; Upper Setekwa River; near Oetakwa River ; 

 Ninay Valley; Fergnssou Island ; Kiriwini ; Goodenough Island; Rook Island. 



The aberration 7/a»/yij««6-to shows a yellow spot between veins 2 and 3 below 

 cell. All these specimens are males. 



48. Westermannia cornucopia subsp. ocellata subsp. nov. 



Differs from the type form from S. India in being slightly smaller, the ground 

 colour paler ; below the silvery blue-edged reniform, between veins 2 and 3, is a 

 small round spot of the pale ground colour : the outline of the dark brown figure is 

 more regularly and smoothly curved. 



1 ?, 2 (?(?, all from the Khasia Hills, Assam. 



49. Westermannia tapiri spec. nov. 



Differs from cornucopia Hmps. in the top of the brown figure touching the 

 costal edge, the outer half of the costal area being itself suffused with pale grey- 

 brown ; the inner edge of the brown mark is always insinuate in cell, and its lower 

 extremity, which is more curved round outwardly, does not reach below vein 1 ; 

 neither the reniform stigma nor veins 3, 4 and the median vein are defined by 

 bluish ; the outer line is whitish, not blue, and runs first obliquely outwards to 

 vein 8, then vertically with a slight bend in cell to the pale sinus below the brown 

 figure; a dark subterminal crenulate line is visible; a row of black dots before 

 termeu ; hindwing whitish, the termen diffusely dark.

Like the preceding, but the triangular space between subcostal vein and vein 1 

 as far as subterminal line suffused with brownii^h olive, obliterating all markings
