 as in forewings. 



Face green, with reddish central band; vertex green ; collar and base of jjatagia 

 reddish ; thorax, rest of patagia, and abdomen greenish. Underside of forewings, as 

 far as second line above the median vein, orange, leaWng a small green space beyond 

 the dark cell-spot ; the outer line edged with red; marginal area red speckled with 

 dark, leaving greenish spaces along outer line, at apex, and on middle of hindmargin ; 

 inner margin pale green. Hindwings wholly orange to second line, which is blackish 

 red, followed by a broad whitish green space ; margin broadly blackish, tinged with

 yellow. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



Four S S, five 5 5, from Fergusson Island, November and December. 



29. Actenochroma (?) prasina ab. sufFusa ab. nov. 



One 5 and three t? S differ so much on the upperside as to appear at first sight 

 to belong to another species, but, agreeing exactly as they do on the under surface, 

 they must be referred to prasina as an aberration. Instead of being nearly clear 

 green, these specimens are largely suffused with darker tints. In the c? S the usual 

 dark central fascia is confusedly interrupted in the middle, while on either side are 

 dark shades more or less contiguous ; the hindmargin is likewise much suffused with 

 dark, leaving a small pale blotch at middle ; in the hindwings the whole of the basal 

 two-thirds is dark, while the marginal area is much confused with dark shades. 



All four specimens are from Fergusson Island, and caught at the same time as 

 the typical form.

 with blackish; first line at one-third, reddish grey, starting from a black costal spot, 

 forming an acute angle outwards on the submedian fold; discal dot black; second 

 line black, sinuous, with black teeth externally along the veins, starting from a black 

 ccstal spot ; marginal area red-brown, leaving the apical area, a smaller blotch on 

 hindmargin, and another on inner margin beyond second line pale green ; sub- 

 marginal line denticulate, running paler through the reddish margin and Ijounding 

 the apical patch ; fringe pale green, with a dark marginal line where the red area 

 reaches the hindmargin. 



Ilindu'iiujs : the same, with no inner line or discal dot, but the extreme base 

 speckled with fuscous reddish. Underside whitish, with basal half on forewings 

 tinged with pale fuscous ; both wings with a broad blackish border, marginal in 

 forewings, but leaving the apex white, scarcely touching the margin on hindwings; 

 forewings with large Ijlack discal spot. 



Vertex, thorax, and abdomen green, the latter witli tlie Uifis reddish; palpi
