In the Collection of Messrs. Godmau and Salviu. 



■■ Mr. Woodford's Collection contains a single male exampl(> of this species, which seems 

 sufficiently distinct from the very variable M. Genffroyi, Guerin. It also differs more widely from 

 the species we described from New Ireland as M. Eucosmetos, in which the whole of the central 

 ] portion of the secondaries is intenselv yellow, and the spots of the apex of the primaries are 

 Mended into one continnous patch divided only by the black nerviiles " (G. and S.). 



It is also closely allied to Myneg Hercyna, Godm. and Salv. (anteu, vol. I, Mynes, pi. 1, figs. 

 1-3), which differs chiefly on the upper side of the anterior wings, which have the submarginal 

 ]iale markings much larger and more distinct, and the large pale space towards the base of the 

 wing much more irregular, and divided into distinct spots by the ucrvures.

" Malr. Upperside. Anterior wings greenish-white, with the apical third 

 black, the inner edge of the black area, which is irregular, extending obliquely 

 from the costa at two-thirds from the base to the outer angle ; the black mark- 

 ings on the underside show indistinctly through the white area. Posterior 

 wings w'ith the space above the subcostal nervure to the costal margin greyish- 

 lilack, and a rather narrow sinuate black band along the outer margin, inside 

 which is a series of black bars, those towards the apex the broadest, thence to 

 the anal angle narrower and becoming obsolete, the space between the bars and 

 the marginal band occupied by a sinuate greenish-blue line ; there is a broad 

 obscure band of the same colour inside the bars, which extends round the 

 wings and below the subcostal nervure to the base ; the ujipermost median 

 nervule is prolonged into a very distinct tail, which is black ; the ciliie and one 

 side of the tail are white. 



Underside. iVntcrior wings white, irrorated with Idack towards the apex 

 and crossed l)y five greyish-black bars : the first bar, at the base, extends
