42 Mr. Gervase F. Mathew's descriptions of 



submarginal bands, the outer nearly straight, the inner waved, 

 and between them some paler lunules. Hind wings : — A narrow 

 dark reddish-brown line from costa crossing cell to submedian 

 nervure ; beyond fascia a broad submarginal band of pale sepia- 

 brown containing a series of seven ocellated spots, black with 

 purple centres and orange margins, the upper one very small and 

 indistinct and without pupil, the middle with largest pupil ; outer 

 margin paler, with two submarginal stripes, the outer one narrow, 

 distinct, and somewhat waved, the inner one much broader and 

 well-defined on outer edge, the space between the two greyish ; 

 between inner band and ocellated spots some indistinct greyish- 

 yellow lunules ; a blackish blotch at anal angle. Exp. 73 mm.

Obs. Allied to R. algina, Boisd., but ocellated spots 

 on hind wings very much larger and brighter, and fascia 

 on fore wings concave ; under side very different. 



Cyrcstis Solomonis, n. s. 

 $ . TJfper side warm brownish ochreous ; outer margins dark 

 brown ; a broad creamy-white, or white, fascia from two-thirds of 

 costa crosses wings, becomes narrower upon reaching the hind 

 wings, and terminates almost in a point at submedian nervure ; 

 the following markings between inner margin of fascia and base of 

 wings: first, a narrow oblique stripe from subcostal nervure at 

 base of cell to submedian nerviu-e of hind wings ; second, a short 

 and slightly elbowed pale stripe bordered outwardly by dark brown 

 across cell only ; third, a narrow oblique pale stripe across cell, 

 continued to submedian nervure of hind wing and inwardly 

 bordered in cell by dark brown, beyond outwardly bordered by a 

 band of dark brown ; fifth, a slightly curved and rather dark 

 stripe ; and sixth, a paler and rather thicker stripe just beyond the 

 cell, the fifth and sixth stripes enclosing base of disco-cellulars ; 

 apex of cell of hind wings closed by a slightly-curved stripe with dark 

 margins, between which and the third stripe is a short and some- 

 what oblique pale line. Fore wings : — A submarginal series of six 

 conspicuous oblong- oval black spots, with dusky fuscous margins 

 inwardly bordered by a pale narrow and somewhat obscure line, 

 outwardlj by a narrow and rather waved stripe; spot a1 analangle 

 small and sometimes divided ; a submarginal rather waved whitish 

 line. Hind wings: — A submarginal series of six large black sub- 

 oval spots with bright fuscous margins, the margins twice as broad 

 outwardly; spot at apex the smallest; two white submarginal
