6 CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



New Ireland (Boisduval). 



Allied to the preceding species, but of a slightly different form, 

 a white band instead of a yellow one in the front wings, a white 

 subapical spot on the underside, instead of an unequally geminate 

 ocellus ; the ocelli of the hind wings blue, and five instead of four 

 in number.

 Celebes (Felder). 



According to Felder, this belongs to the Constantia group ; it does 

 not, however, seem to be banded above. 



The following species seems almost distinct enough to form a new 

 genus ; it appears to come near the genus Elymnias (Eiaytelidce) 

 in several respects. The concave form of the discocellulars of the 

 front wings, the more wedge-shaped hind-wing cell, the violet co- 

 louring of the upperside, and the large silky dark patch in the front 

 wings are sufficient characters to warrant its separation from Me- 

 lanitis. I have, however, separated it as a subgenus under the name 

 of Cyllogenes.
