494 Mr. E. Meyrick on some 



middle ; a subterminal series of small white spots ; a hind-marginal 

 row of white dots, connected by a darker green line ; cilia green, 

 base indistinctly spotted with white, tips whitish. Hind wings 

 with hind margin rounded, waved, with prominent ronnded tooth 

 in middle ; 3 and 4 stalked ; colour, second line, subterminal and 

 hind-marginal dots, and cilia, as in fore wings ; anterior half 

 more or less dotted and sti'igulated with white, especially towards 

 inner margin ; second line forming a small spot on costa ; sub- 

 terminal and hind-m.arginal dots opposite median tooth enlarged 

 into small spots. 



5 , 30 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs as in (^ ; anterior 

 tibiae and tarsi browner. Palpi ochreous-yellow, beneath white, 

 terminal joint longer, fuscous. Antennae light fuscous, becoming 

 white towards base. Fore wings formed as in J^ , but 11 anasto- 

 mosing with 12 ; bright rather deep emerald-green ; costa narrowly 

 pale brownish-ochreous, strigulated with fuscous ; first line appa- 

 rently obsolete, but perhaps defaced ; second line slender, whitish, 

 from three-fourths of costa to three-fourths of inner margin, 

 strongly curved outwards so as to approach hind margin below 

 middle, sharply sinuate inwards beneath costa, and less sharply 

 above inner margin; a brown hmd-marginal border, mixed with 

 light ochreous, and obsciu'ely marked with whitish on veins, 

 occupying whole space between second line and hind margin 

 except a green s^jot in subcostal simiation of line, and including a 

 cloudy whitish subapical spot ; an interrupted dark brown hind- 

 marginal line ; cilia pale brown, mixed with whitish-ochreous. 

 Hind wings formed as in ^' ; colour, second line, hind-marginal 

 band, and cilia as in fore wings, but second line only slightly 

 sinuate beneath costa, no green spot in sinuation, or subapical 

 white spot ; a small white cloudy spot occupying hind-marginal 

 tooth. 



Dinner Island {Koicald) ; two specimens. I have no 

 doubt that these, though totally different in marking, 

 are correctly to be referred as sexes to the same species, 

 coming as they do from the same locality ; the differences 

 are exactly analogous to those occurring between the 

 sexes of the nearly related I. incroicles and I. insperata. 

 The reason of this remarkable dissimilarity I am as yet 

 unable to conjecture.
