Exp. If inches. 



The figure of this insect is taken from the specimen described by 

 Mr. Wallace in his paper before mentioned, p. 333, mider the name of 

 " Fcriclca," from the Collection of Mr. Samiders, whence it passed into 

 Mr. Grose-Smith's Collection. After a careful examination of the specimens 

 of //. rfriiiiale in the National Collection, in which I was assisted by 

 Dr. Butler, we arrived at the conclusion that there could Ije no doul)t as to 

 their identity vvith //. Fa-imalc. Donovan's figure is that of a female, and 

 is very highly coloured. Mr. Walter Piothschild has lent me a female specimen 

 from the Felder Collection, which is nearly white on the upperside, and there 

 is a female specimen in the British Museum which is intermediate in colouring 

 between the Felder specimen and Donovan's figure. On the underside the male 

 here figured corresponds with the undersides of the females above referred to, 

 and the submarginal dark band on the posterior wings is broken up into 

 similar dusky spots. 



Hab. New Caledonia. 



In the Collections of the British Museum, the Houble. Walter Eothschild and Mr. Grose- 

 Smith. 



It is proposed to figure the underside of the male, and of one or both sides of the female in 

 a subsequent Part of this book.
