externa! border, as on the primaries. Body below ocliraceous, the palpi and 

 front of pectus reddisli orange. Expanse of wings 33 mill. Alu; Shortland 

 Island. Apparently a rare species; the feniale has the secondaries above 

 immaculate and on the under surface tliere is a complete submarginal series of 

 silvery lilae spots. 



Gleis biplagata spec. nov. 

 (^- Chocolate brown, with purplish reflections, primaries crossed beyoiid the 

 middle by a broad subpyriform, deep ochreous patch, face, antennae and sides 

 of abdomen ochreous. Under surface bright ochreous, primaries with two black 

 spots in the cell and an indistinct black line across the end of the cell, secon- 

 daries with a Spot at the end of the cell, external borders red, striated sparsoly 

 with black, edged with black and with indistinct pearly witish submarginal 

 spots; the undei- surface in fact principally differs from that of Gl. versicolor 

 Felder (Novara Lepid.) in the absence of the central oblique black belt across 

 the primaries. Expanse of wings 44 mm. Ulua. Evidently rare and possibly though 

 not probably an extreme variety of the following species. 



pag. 222. Gl. hypoleuca spec. nov. 



Allied to versicolor, dark purplish brown ; primaries with a bright 'ochreous 

 subpyriform patch placed obliquely beyond the middle, the males also with a 

 more or less prominent orange, tapering submarginal streak, spackled with black: 

 secondaries with a rather large bright ochreous spot, rounded in front, but 

 with three notches out of its posterior edge. Face, palpi, ahtennaej edge of 

 collar and margins of abdominal Segments orange. "Wings below almost as in 

 the preceeding species, but with a continous series of pearly white submarginal 

 spots Expanse of wings cT 35 mm, 9 30 — 36 mm. Alu, Shortland Island. 

 Fourteen exemples $ Ulua. The females vary more than the males both in size 

 and in the size of the ochreous patch of the wings." 



In seiner, mir während des Druckes zugekommenen Arbeit über die 

 ,, Duftapparate indo-australischer Schmetterlinge" (Correspond. 

 des Entom. Vereins ,,Iris" No. 4, pag. 163 ff., Dresden 1887) erwähnt Dr. 

 Erich Haase verschiedene sexuelle Auszeichnungen bei Calliduliden. Es sind 

 dies die an der Geschlechtsöffnung der cT cf bei Callidula und Damias vor- 

 kommenden Haarpinsel, die bei Tyndaris laetifica, Felder cT charakteristi- 

 schen, von mir bereits früher (Heter. Arn etc. in Nass. Jahrb. 89, pag. 114) 

 erwähnten Dufteinrichtungen der Vorderflügel und die von Felder (Nov. 

 Lepid.) beschriebenen Büschel keulenförmiger Strahlhaare des Innenrandes 

 der Hinterflügel beim cT von Agonis lycaenoides. 



Die Calliduliden sind zierliche, Tagfalter- (Eryciniden, Lycäniden) 

 ähnliche Heteroceren, sämmtlich von bräunlicher Grundfärbung, die von tief 

 Dunkel, fast Schwarzbraun (Damias), häufig mit bläuliclipm Schimmer wechselt 

 bis zu einem hellen Braungelb (Tyndaris). Die Oberseite der Flügel ist 

 entweder einfarbig (Agonis), mit dunklerer Randfärbung (Tyndaris), mit
