 '•■1. A. Carolina sp. uov. 



rT. This species belongs to tlie anthore group, and comes in some respects quite 

 near A. politn Riiber, but may at once be ilistingnished from that species by tbe 

 arrangement of tbe spots on the underside of the secondaries, which instead of beinft 

 more or less rotund, as in .1. poUtu, are elongated transversely, giving the wing a 

 barred appearance. 



S . The /t;»««fe is like tlie iiiale, but lacking much of the purple gloss on tbe 

 costal and ajiical tracts of tlie primaries, which are margined wirli jilain black, 

 broadly on the margin at tlie apex, the black band narrowing gradually until it 

 vanishes at the outer angle. 



Expanse S and ? about 40 miu. Described from five wiA'.* aud ow J'rmnlr'.

Hewitsoii clescribes and figures tlie M'f/e. The femulr is exactly like it on the 

 underside, but is distinguished upon the upjierside by having the costae of both 

 wings as well as the apex of the primaries broadly dull black, and the outer margins 

 of both wings of the same colour. 



The collection contains a large number of utolr'!^, but only two J'emales. 



'Mi. A- buruensis sp. nov. 



<S. The upperside of both wings is uniformly dark jnirplish blue, with tbe 

 external border of the primaries quite narrowly bordered with black-fuscous. On 

 the underside both wings are ochraceous-fuscous crossed with darker spots and 

 bands, which are bordered narrowly, es])ecially on the secondaries, with fine lighter 

 lines. These spots and bau<ls are very little darker than the body of the wings, and 

 in certain liglits are rather obscure. Tliey are disposed as follows : — Upon tlie 

 jn-imaries there is a faint submarginal band running from the costa to the inner 

 margin: this is followed by a catennlate discal band rather more distinct than ihe 

 first mentioned, and extending from the costa to the submediau nerve ; the cell is 

 closed by a short discocellular bar ; there is a circular sjwt in the middle of the cell 

 and a small and obscure spot on either side of the first median nervule at its origin 

 lielow the cell. On the secondaries there are three small spots increasing in size 

 from the side of the base toward tlie outer margin, aud eijuidistantly located just 

 below vein 8 ; a small spot in the cell near the base, one in its middle, aud a short 

 transverse bar at the end of the cell; an irregular catennlate curved band of spots 

 marks the disc, below the cell aud along the inner margin are a few transverse ])ale 

 lines. The outer third of the wing is free from maculations, except about the anal 

 angle, which is rather conspicuously marked with whitish curved striae, and dark 

 lunules, three in number, irrorated with bluish green scales. 



"i . The J'emdle on the underside is marked exactly like the iii'i/c, the chief 

 ilifl'erence between the two sexes in the matter of their markings being the fact that 

 nil the primaries \\\f /'rm'tlf has the costa and the apical area broadly velvety black, 

 the line of demarcation between the blue ground colour aud the black space being 

 almost straight from a little beyond the base to the outer extremity of the third 

 median nervnle. The outer margin is also in this sex somewhat broadly black upon 

 the jirimaries.
