S. Closely allied to i/. eleffu/is, Nov. Zool. II. p. 498. t. vii. f. 1. 2 (1895), but 

 wings and body much less metallic blue. Median band of forewiug nearly as in 

 elegans, somewhat rounded at both ends ; the subapical band is twice as broad as in 

 elegans, consisting of three spots, of which the middle one is .5 mm. long ; a small 

 white mark near hinder angle, as in eleganx. 



Hindwing black, with a very large pale ochre-yellow area extending from hinder 

 margin, where it measures 11 mm. in width, to vein 7 ; its outer edge rnfons red ; a 

 faint black spot at the end of the cell. 



Underside : as above, but hindwing with a more distinct black dot upon the 

 discocellulars, and black outer border of hindwing dilated behind vein 2. Abdomen

TWO NEW SPECIES OF BUTTERFLIES IN THE TEING 



MUSEUM. 



By n. GROSE SMITH, B.A., F.E.S., F.Z.S., etc. 

 1. Tenaris mailua sj). nov. 



(?. Uppersitle: both wings dark fuliginous grey. Anterior wings crossed ob- 

 liquely beyond the cell by a large subajiical diffused white patch, the white area not 

 extending over the subcostal nervules anteriorly, or quite reaching the outer margin 

 jwsteriorly. Posterior wings with a large diffused yellowish white patch from near 

 the base, extending over the cell and the lower part of the disc, but not quite 

 reaching the outer and abdominal margins, which are dark fuliginous grey; between 

 the two lowest median nervrdes is a small ocellus witli a pale violet jjupil and a 

 bright fulvous outer ring. 



Underside : darker and brighter than on the npperside. On the posterior 

 wings are two very bright ocelli with broad fulvous outer rings; the lower ocellus 

 is larger than on the upperside, and the pupil, which is white, is surrounded by a 

 ring of violet scales. 



Antennae black; palpi and abdomen fulvous. 



? resembles the S , but on the upperside the white areas on both wings are 

 rather more extended, and the ocellus on the posterior wings of the i is absent. 



Expanse of wings : J, 3 inches; ?, 3i inches. 



Ilab. Mailu, British New Guinea (Anthony, July 189.")). 



Nearest to T. anablcps Voll. and T. uramis Stgr., but the position and 

 extent (on the po.sterior wings) of the white patches readily separate it from these 

 species. 



Described from two 6 and two V sj)ecimens. 



2. Thysonotis phroso sp. nov. 

 ?. Upperside: anterior wings witli the base, costal margin, and apical thiid 

 I'reyish black, the black urea extending rather broadly down the outer margin to
