174. Dicallaneura semirufa sp. nov. 



MA'Ui.— UpjJCrsif/e: both wings (lull rufous brown, with the apical third and 

 outer margin of the anterior wings and the outer margin of the posterior wings 

 darker brown. 



Underside : scarcely differs from D. pidchra. On the anterior wings the whole of 

 the space within the cell and above it is imiform dark brown, except a streak at the 

 base of the cell, a curved streak across its middle and a lunular spot with a 

 longitudinal streak above it, all white. The posterior wings are rather darker tiian 

 in D. jiuMo'ci, and the sagittate markings which cross the middle of the disc from 

 the upper median nervule to the abdominal margin about its middle are more 

 shar])ly angulated. 



E.Njiiinse of wings : 1 1 inch. 



Two specimens, both males. 



17.J. Dicallaneura princessa sj). nov. 



Female. — Upperside : both wings fuliginous brown, with the outer half of the 

 anterior wings in an oblii|ue direction, from the middle of the costal margin to near 

 the outer angle, fuliginous darker brown. Posterior wings with a snbmarginal row 

 of markings of that colonr between the first subcostal and the second median 

 uervnles of which the upper one extends inwardly about halfway across the disc, 

 the second is more restricted, and the third is more linear and crosses the space 

 between the veins. 



Underside: both wings bright tawny brown. Anterior wings with the basal 

 half of the cell pale brown divided in the middle by a dark brown streak, followed 

 by two dark brown lines centred with jiale brown, beyond the cell crossing the space 

 between the lowest subcostal and upper median uervnles is another pale brown sj)ot 

 bordered internally by dark brown, beyond this is a large outwardly oval brownish 

 black patch which covers the middle part of the disc, shading into brown on the 

 inner side which is nearly straight, in this patch are situate three silvery white 

 sjiots between the discoidal and middle median nervules, in an obliipie direction near 

 the outer edge of the black patch, on the inner side of the black patcli at its lower 

 end is a large pale brown ear-shaped spot crossing the median nervules, outside the 

 black patch is a pale brown band whicii follows its contour, at the top of which it 

 bends upwards to the costal margin ; near the apex between the veins are three 

 elongate silver spots, inwardly acute, rounded outwardly, with a black triangular 

 spot in the middle of the npj)ermost spot. Posterior wings, basal third pale brown, 

 with a series of dark brown streaks, which cross the cell from the costal margin to 

 the median nervure, below whicli between the veins are three dark brown streaks, 

 across tlie disc at its middle is a curved pale brown band broadly bordered inwardly 

 with dark brown, three elongate oval silver streaks are situate between the veins 

 towards the apex, and there is a snbmarginal row of six elongate silver bars, those 

 lietween the two lowest median nervules and between the lowest subcostal nervule 

 and the discoidal nervure centred with black. 



Expanse of wings : 1 J inch. 



Hctb. Biak ; one specimen only. 



On the upperside this butterfly somewhat resembles D. semini.fd, on the under- 

 side it is very different from any of the genus.
