( 14: ) 



One cf fi'om near the Oetakwa R., Snow 3Its., Dutch New (iainea, up to 

 3500 ft., x.-xii. 1909 (A. S. Meek). 



Differs rather remarkably from the other species of the genus iu the elongate 

 wings. Third subcostal of forewing present, thrown off from stalk of 4.5 near cell, 

 Upperside of abdomeu violaceous green. The white patch on the forewing above 

 rounded, about as long as broad, exjjanding between subcostal and second submedian 

 veins and placed proxiraally to apex of cell. The distal border of the hindwiug 

 very feebly narrowing behind, being 3 mm. broad in centre (inclusive of fringes), 

 while the costal border only occupies the space between costal edge and cell. 



On the forewing below the white patch extends a little beyond the apex of tlic 

 cell and also reaches farther basad than on the upperside. 



3. Heteropan apicalis spec. nov. 



? . Autennis, capite thoraceijue supra purpnreis, abdomiue et steruis viridi- 

 violaceis, palpis et rostro flavis, pedibus luteis plus minusve viridi-violaceo 

 sijuamosis. Alls anticis supra pnrpureo-nigris, truncatis, macula apicali magna 

 alba late aeneo-viridi marginata ; posticis violaceis. Infra violaceis, anticis raacnla 

 alba ajiicali. 



Long. al. ant. 8-5—9 mm. 



(! ? ? from near the Oetakwa R., Snow Mts., Dntch New Guinea, up to 3500 ft., 

 x.-xii. 1909 (A. S. Meek). 



This is the only known species iu which the apex of the forewing is white. 

 The glossy bluish green band which borders this patch on the proximal side is 

 straight, running obliquely from the costal to the distal margin, which it reaches 

 in front of the angle ; in the centre of the wing there are traces of a bluish green 

 transverse band. The upperside of the hindwing and the underside of both wings 

 are blue and have a rather strong gloss. 



Forewing with five subcostals ; lower median far proximal, almost on a level 

 with first subcostal. 



4. Heteropan truncata adamaris subsp. nov. 



(?. Abdomine supra et infra coeruleo, autennis purpnreis ; alls anticis su|ira 

 sine macula distiucta alba, posticis albis margine exteriore coeruleo nitente. 



A series of J cj from near the Oetakwa R., Snow Mts., Dutch New Gninea, up 

 to 350O ft., x.-xii. 1909 (A. S. Meek). 



Forewing rounded-trnncate, very slightly incurved below the apex, on disc a 

 more or less slight indication of a white spot, no distinct metallic spot or baud 

 near outer margin, but with dull green and somewhat glossy scaling along costal 

 edge and near outer margin ; fringes only with a few metallic scales, mnch less 

 glossy than in //. t. cl/itonea Jord. (1907). Hindwing as in //. t. chitoiwa ?. 



On luideriiide the forewing with a large white patch extending from the base 

 to near the apex of cell, sometimes occupying almost the whole jn-oximal three- 

 fifths of the wing : the white area of the hindwing reaches to costal margin, tin- 

 latter not being blue in the centre. 



Palpi, breast, and logs duller yellow tliau in chttoitea. The underside of the 

 abdomen very little paler than the upper. 



Besides the type of cliitonea, a ? from Milne Bay, we have a series of ? ? ot
