c??. The two lines of the ahdomeu are sometimes jiartly i'lised together; 

 occasionally there are only a few brown scales separating tiieiu here and there, 

 liines of ibrowing as in martiantd, but line 4 nearly always distinct, interspace 

 between 4 and Ti not quite so pale as tliat between 3 and 4, which is more or less 

 silvery ; line 5 always heavy, thin bnt distinct. The pale band of the hindwing 

 varies in tint and distinctness ; it is sometimes very faint. 



Cramer's figure of (Iravriis applies to this species ; the type specimen is 

 preserved in the Tring Museum (ex coll. Felder from coll. Lennop) ; the single 

 white abdominal line drawn by Cramer is excusable, as the lines are very incom- 

 pletely separated in the specimen, being, in fact, merged together except here 

 and there ; the hindwing has no distinct pale band; both hindwings are repaired. 



(J. Tenth segment as in vHo-garita, the sternite witli an obvious mesial tootli. 

 Process of harpe feebly curved, spatulate in dorsal view. Band-like armature of 

 penis-sheath broader than in rnargarifn and longer, tlie teeth less prominent, the 

 process at the right side rather short. 



Larva black, with a row of yellow s])ots on each side of the tlioracic tergites ; 

 a series of seven eye-spots of about the same size, tlie first two witli lilaok centres ; 

 liorn long and slender. 



Hub. Oriental Eegion. 



We have not seen oUJcnlaiuline from the Bismarck Archipelago and tlie 

 Solomons, where one should expect it to occur.
