^\e have a long series of both .sexes of this species from Guadalcanar, Tngela, 

 Isabel, and Florida, collected by Messrs. Meek and Eichhorn. The c? has a strong 

 bine gloss ; there is a small scarlet patch in the middle of the forewing behind the 

 cell, often penetrating into the cell. No orange on the hindwing, above, bnt traces 

 of a scarlet band are generally present below. 



4. Clerckia thoracica sp. nov. 



<?. Black, somewhat ])lnish glossy on thorax ; anterior edge of collar, prosternnm, 

 meso-metanotnm (except a spot near base of costal margin of forewing), underside 



and tip of abdomen, chrome yellow. Wings, above, orange. Forewing washed 



with scarlet distally, costal margin narrowly blue-black, a distal border of tlie 

 same colour, about 2 mm. Ijroad, of nearly even width, slightly denticulate, a little 



dilated between R^ and R'. Hindtciny : a black distal border, about 4 mm. wide 



in front, half as wide at M-, joining a black streak which runs from base alono- 

 abdominal margin, the latter itself and the fringe remaining orange. 



Underside : blue-black distal border of forewing twice as wide as above in 

 front, hindwing without black abdominal streak, both wings paler yellow than above. 



Hindwing shorter and broader than mfulvia.

Exotrocha liboria, Meyrick (non Stoll, 1782), Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales (2) 

 I. p. 693 (1886). 



<? ? . This peculiar insect has been well described by Mr. Meyrick. Hampson 

 does not mention it. It is easily distinguished from liboria = fitlvia by the red 

 head, red meso-metanotnm, reddish bases of the abdominal segments (sternites 

 partly excepted), a reddish lateral spot on mesosternnm, black collar, by the black 

 hindwings with a yellowish central j)atch above and below, the blackish bmwn 

 underside of the forewing, which shows only vestiges of yellow in the 66, and in 

 the ? a patch of yellow at the end of the cell. 



Hab. Brisbane, ex coll. Barnard, 1 c? {type), 1 ? ; Mackay, 1 S. 



The mesothoracic tegula is black in our ¥ , with a red dot. The forewing is 

 less bright in colour than mfulvia.
