Head, thorax, ami abdomen white ; up]](>r part of faee and jiiilpi externally 

 fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : S 3it — Ii2 mm. ; ? ;56 mm. 



Two 6 6, two ? ? from Larat (H. Kiiliu). 



One (? has the costal edge of forewings and the fringes of both wings dark 

 grey, and the streaks of the wings better defined. 



Distinguished by the small size and the neatness of the markings ; A. tagata 

 Moore, to which it is nearest, has the underside of the wings grey in the S. 



Cyphura gen. nov. 



Diifers from UranioiJcs in the length of the abdomen and in the shaj)e of the 

 hindwings ; in Ui-anioides the abdomen is quite short, not more than half as long 

 as the hindwings : in Cijphiint it is of average length ; the hindmargin of the 

 hindwings from apex to base of tail is quite straight in Uraiiioides, always more or 

 less convex in Cyphura ; the tail itself is much larger and broader, and the margin 

 from anal angle to end of tail always straight. The markings also differ : in 

 f/;-a«i'oiV/<?s the transverse bands are three in number, and narrow; in Cyphura either 

 absent or two in number and broad ; the discocellular is always marked in the 

 former, never in Cyphura.

12. Cyphura catenulata sp. nov. 



Nearest to C. bi/asriafa Rutl., with which it agrees in the markings, but the 

 dark costal and outer borders only lialf as wide, the latter darker between the veins, 

 the ends of which are marked witli slight patches growing paler as they approach 

 the apex, beneath which they become white ; the fringe dark grey or black, except 

 along upper margin of tail, which is white. 



Underside of forewings with the transverse bands obsolete ; costal edge dark in 

 basal half only ; outer margin as above, but much paler, gradually broadening 

 upwards. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen white ; vertex, a bar at top of face, the palpi, and 

 forelegs in front black. 



Expanse of wings : S, 56 — GO mm. ; ? , (!.") mm. 



Three ? ?,five c?c?from Kulambangra, Solomon Islands, 1901 (Meek). 



The brown transverse bands are slightly paler and narrower in the ? ? than in 

 thecJcJ. 



13. Cyphura pieridaria sji. nov. 



In this species the dark marginal markings are still t'urtlier diminished. 



Forewings : instead of a costal streak, the costal edge above the costal vein is 

 filled with mol'e or less confluent black-brown spots and strigae, which die out before 

 reaching apex ; the marginal streak is grey-brown and quite narrow from anal angle 

 upwards, fading into a point above vein 6, so that, except for the fringe, the apex is 

 wholly white ; the two transverse bands are ]]ale brown and narrow, both slightly 

 curved and more oblique, the outer from three-fifths of costa to three-fourths of 

 inner margin. 



Hindwings : witli the brown streak paler, not reaching the costa ; the dark 

 outer streak straiglit from ajiex to vein 4, there sharply cut off, and continued to
