7 c?(?, 1 ?, Viilcau Islaiul. 



94. Acca consimilis melanotica subsp. nov. 



cJ. This form is a most remarkable melanistic race of consimilis, hut miicli 

 larger than stenopa. 



Above. Deep brown-black ; the oblique subapical patch is reduced to two dark 

 rufous-brown semi-coalescent spots, and the band between vein 3 and inner margin 

 is reduced to less than one-half its size, and is dark rufous-orange suffused with 

 dark brown ; the band on the bindwing is less than one-half as wide, and dark 

 orange-brown. Another 6 has the whole upjur surface In-own-black with only a 

 faint indication of the band on the hindwiiig, an J that below vein 3 on forewing. 



Below. The angnlated broad baud of sttnojja ou forewing is rednced to two 

 small dark-orange patches, and on hindwing the outer dark one-third of wing of 

 stenopa is increased to one-half, and there is a median and subcostal rusty brown 

 band in the orange basal one-half The underside of the extreme $ described 

 above has the entire forewing black e.\cept a brownish fulvous patch above inner 

 margin, and on hindwing narrow basal median orange bands. 



\ $i, Dampier Island. 



95. Acca venilia dampierensis subsp. nov. 



S ? . Differ from A. i\ anceps in the much narrower entirely blue bands and 

 almost obsolete subterminal dots on hindwing ; in the blue band above inner 

 margin of forewing is a white spot. 



8 c?c?, 3 (?c?, Dampier Island. 



96. Neptis shepherdi damia Frahst. 



Neplis shepherdi dainia Fruhstorfe'r, Eniom. Zeit. Giibeii. 1905. p. 101 (German New Guinea). 

 1 S , Vulcan Island. 



97. Neptis shepherdi reducta subsp. nov. 



c7. Very large, intense black, white markings in and beyond cell of forewing 

 absent, five discal and four subterminal spots much reduced. On hindwiug median 

 band much narrower and broken, consisting of two or three separate spots. 



? . Differs from ¥ damia in bauds and spots being smaller and narrower. 



3 <J(J, 1 ? , Dampier Islands. 



98. Parthenos sylvia admiralia subsp. nov. 



S ?. Differ from P. s. couppei Ribbe in the semihyaline band of patches on 

 forewing being pure white and much more extensive, in the olive colour of forewing 

 above vein 2 being strongly suffused with pale nile blue, and in the olive ou 

 hindwing being brighter and also tinged with nile blue. Below the semihyaline 

 patches are much larger, the subtornal black jjatch ou forewing is very much larger 

 and the whole underside is nile blue.
