 Hub. Mailu, British New Guinea (Anthony). 

 In the Triug Musenm. 



The apex of the anterior wings and anal angle of the posterior wings are 

 iu;uminate, as in Jl.fulgens, II. zadne, and H. nitens. 



l:>. Cupha charmides sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : from the base to the middle rnfons brown, beyond which the 

 wings are crossed by a curved transverse orangp-brown band; beyond the band the 

 outer margin is dark brown. In the orauge-brown band between the median nervnles 

 are two brown sjwts, the upper of which merges in the outer dark lirown area, the 

 lower being distinct; below the lowest median uervnle is a large dark brown spot, 

 also merging in the outer dark area; one or two indistinct small orange-brown 

 spots towards the apex. Posterior wings with the basal half rufous brown, be^'ond 

 which the wings are orange-brown: across the disc are two sinuate indistinct 

 brown lines, the space between them being rather paler, outside which between 

 the veins is a row of five dark brown spots surrounded by orange-brown rings, 

 the middle spot being the smallest, followed by seven dark brown Innules, between 

 which and the outer margin is another row of narrower Innules of the same colour, 

 bordered on each side by paler luuulos. 



Underside: much paler than on the uppers ide. Anterior wings with the discal 

 orange-brown band very much restricted, and with a row of black spots crossing 

 the wings from a little before the apex to near the inner margin; the spots are 

 bordered by pale lunnles, the lowest spot, beneath the lowest median nervule, being 

 very large and dift'used. On the posterior wings is a row of seven spots crossing the 

 disc, surrounded by orange rings and crowned by pale lilac Innules; there is also a 

 submarginal row of pale Innules, with narrow brown bars at their base. 



The,fenmle diflFers little from the nxik-^ but on the anterior wings are several 

 more indistinct tawny markings, and on the posterior wings tlie pale spaces between 

 the outer-marginal dark Innules are more strongly marked. 



Expanse of wings : 2i inches. 



IJub. Mefor Island {type), and Ron Island, Geclvink Bay (W. Doherty). 

 This species is intermediate between C. maeonidcs Hew. and C. madestes Hew. 



In the Tring Musenm and Mr. Grose-Smith's collection. 



14. Cupha rubria sji. nov. 



Male. — Uppemidc : with the basal third of both wings chestnut-brown, the 

 middle of both wings crossed by a bright orange-brown band. On the anterior wings 

 I he band is widest on the inner margin, becoming narrower on the costal margin by 

 the sharp curving of its outer edge ; between the two lowest median nervnles this 

 band invades the dark brown outer area, but less broadly so than in C prosope Fabr., 

 and encloses a dark brown spot ; the outer part of the wings is dark brown, with two 

 narrow indistinct tawny markings towards the apex. The posterior wings differ 

 little from those of G. prosope. 



Underside : much paler brown than in C. prosope. On the anterior wings the 

 central band is less clearly defined than in that species; the outer third is dull 

 jmrplish brown, which is uninterrupted between the median nervnles, as in C. prosope, 

 with the row of dark sjjots more distinct, and bordered outwardly by whitish
