 <i. Milionia dulitana sp. nov. 



?. Wings, njiperside black. Forewing crossed by a curved orpiment-orange 

 band, which extends from middle of costal to inner margin, reaching tlie latter close 

 to hinder angle ; the band is from o to 7 mm. wide in front, and 3 mm. wide behind. 

 A patch before middle of inner margin is about 4 mm. long and 2 mm. wide, and is 

 prolonged towards base of wing. Apical region of wing with a series of indistinct 

 grey spots between veins 3 and 8. Fringe with some whitish scales. 



Hindwing, fringe more distinctly white. The greater part of the wing occupied 

 by a large orpuuent-orauge area which almost reaches base and extends basally 

 beyond rein 8 ; at the veins the area is dentate. The black border of the wing is 

 9 mm. wide at vein 8, while it is '> mm. wide at veins 4, 3, and 2, and 3 mm. 

 at vein l*".

? . Resembles both M. (jlaji.ca from the Southern Moluccas and c)/nii>/ei-(i from 

 the Northern Moluccas. It has, like ajanifcrci , scarcely a trace of the metallic gloss 

 on the upperside of the wings usually present in glauca and allies. The baud of the 

 forewing is orpiment-orange ; it is more strongly curved than in either (ihinea or 

 cyanifera ; it is 6 mm. wide at the subcostal nervnre and 4 mm. at the hinder margin, 

 which it reaches close to the hinder angle. The black marginal area of the 

 forewing is .5i mm. broad at vein 4 and 3J. at vein 3. 



Below, the base of the hindwing is streaked with metallic bluish green.
