some new species of Rhopalocera. 43 



Hues, the outer rather indistinct, the inner very distinct and 

 angled at apex of third median nervule, where the wing is 

 produced into a conspicuous and rather sharp tail ; a large bright 

 fuscous blotch at anal angle containing two round black spots with 

 fuscous margins, and enclosed in narrow black and white lines. 

 Under side: — Markings similar to those above, but much paler, or 

 with an indistinct greenish tint, the white subruarginal stripes 

 broader and more distinct : the lower half of spot at anal angle 

 obscured by a blackish blotch. Exp. 60 mm. 



Hab. Ugi, Solomon Islands. 



Obs. Allied to C. kelia, Feld., but ground colour 

 different and fascia, especially on hind wings, much 

 narrower. 



Cyrestis nitida, n. s. (PL IV., fig. 5). 



cf. Upper side dark olive -brown ; a white band crosses both 

 wings from costal nervine nearly to anal angle of hind wings ; 

 between white band and base several narrow pale ochreous stripes, 

 the first slightly oblique from near base of costal nervure to sub- 

 median nervure of hind wing, the second short and across cell 

 only, the third from costa at middle of cell obliquely to submedian 

 nervure of hind wing, the fourth in cell almost straight, from 

 thence to lower median nervule of hind wing it is much broader, 

 of a deeper colour, and somewhat suffused, and where it crosses 

 cell of hind wing it is inwardly bordered by a narrow pale line 

 margined with darker brown; two more stripes at end of cell of 

 fore wings, the inner one merely a fine line, the outer somewhat 

 curved. Fore ivuigs : — A conspicuous submargiual band, composed 

 of a series of six moderately large black sub-oval spots with broad 

 fuscous margins, inwardly bordered by a narrow whitish and some- 

 what clouded stripe, and outwardly by a broader whitish stripe; 

 two submargiual darker stripes with a rather waved whitish line 

 between. Html wings : — Submarginal bands and stripes as in fore 

 wings, but black spots larger, and the first two with much broader 

 outer fuscous margins than the others ; at anal angle a large 

 bright fuscous patch, in which are situated two spots, one at anal 

 angle with black centre and fuscous margins, and enclosed by a 

 narrow black ring which is outwardly bordered by a tine white 

 hue, the other at the apex of and below lower median nervule, 

 smaller, and with the markings less distinct. Under side white, and 

 submarginal hands the same as on upper side, but the black spots 

 with rnuch broader fuscous margins, and the pale ochreous bauds
