lunules instead of pale brown lunules in C. prosopf. On the posterior wings the 

 central band is wider than in C prosope, being widest on the costal margin, instead 

 of narrowest in that species, and the enter third is pnrplish brown, with the row 

 of sjwts in it mnch larger, and whitish Innnles outside instead of pale brown. 



Yhe female resembles the male. 



Expanse of wings : c? 2^, ? 2^ inches. 



JIab. Rego, British New Guinea {type), and Samarai, S.E. New Guinea 

 (Woodford). 



In Mr. Grose-Smith's collection. 



Near to C. prosope Fabr. and C. turneri Butler. I possess a female from 

 Kiriwini Island (Meek) which diflers little from the ti/jjt, but is larger and paler on 

 the underside. 



lo. Cupha alexis sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: with the basal third jialer chestnut-brown than in C. 

 turneri, and with the central orange-brown band likewise paler, but broader and on 

 the posterior wings less curved. 



On the underside the dark outer areas are more restricted. On the anterior 

 wings the inner edge of the dark outer area is more vertical. On the posterior 

 wings the spots in the dark onter band are nearer the margin and more quadrate. 



Iht female resembles the male, but is a little more rufous. 



Expanse of wings : c? 2J, ? 2J inches. 



Hab. New Britain (Jijpe) and New Ireland. 



In the Tring Museum and Mr. Grose-Smith's collection (type). 



Very close to C turneri and C. cyclotas Grose-Smith ; it is a smaller insect 

 than the former. A considerable number has been received from several collectors. 



16. Neptis dulcinea sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: both wings velvety black. Anterior wings with a very 

 indistinct pale basal streak in the cell and a small indistinct white patch at its end ; 

 a large white spot on the disc, divided by the middle median nervnle, as in N. satitia 

 Grose-Smith, and another elongate spot on the inner margin, nearer the base, edged 

 with bluish scales, both spots being smaller than in N. satina. Towards the apex 

 are two rows of white spots, the inner two and the outer three in number, and 

 a white narrow submarginal streak between the two lowest median nervules. 

 Posterior wings crossed a little before the middle by a band of bluish white from 

 the upper subcostal nervnle to near the inner margin, where it is narrowest, being 

 widest above the uppermost median nervule; halfway between the band and the 

 outer margin, towards the apex, are three small indistinct white spots between 

 the veins. 



Underside : with a broad bluisli white streak in the cell, divided by a dark 

 line at about two-thirds from the base, followed liy a greyish streak at the end of 

 the cell, and a triangular bluish white streak beyond, as in JV. satina, but less 

 elongate ; the other spots and markings as in iV. satina, but they are not margined 

 with bluish white. Posterior wings with two white streaks at the base ; the central 

 white band rather wider than on the upperside, but more abbreviated and more
