smithi ; discal patch well defined, no spot at base of 6. 

 Underside with large submarginal spots, only four of which 

 can be seen owing to the damage sustained by the specimen ; 

 a spot at base of 8. 



Ground-colour of underside as in typical forms, not pale 

 as in grosesmithi.

8. Ideopsis vitrea serena, subsp. n. 



? . Nearest arfakensis, Fruh., but distinguished by more 

 sharply defined markings. 



Fore loing with the vitreous postmedian area sharply 

 defined distally and quite clear in areas 2 and 3. Hind toing 

 with a larger black apical patch ; greenish-yellow ground- 

 colour quite clear and without any dark lines in the cell.

9. Cynthia arsinoe rebeli, Fruh., aberration. 

 (PL VII. figs. 1, 2.) 



This is a melanic aberration affecting three wings on both 

 sides, whilst the left hind wing remains normal. The black 

 markings are condensed to form patches. On the fore wing 

 is a heavy black submarginal line, a large postdiscal costal 

 patch, and a patch in the cell. The right hind wing has a 

 wide marginal black border. Below, the basal half of fore 

 wings is dark purplish brown mixed wit;h black and the distal 

 part of hind wing is darker than the normal.

 (PI. VI. fig. 5.) 



Nearest to henricki, B.-Baker, from the Arfak. 



^ ? . Fore wing with cell black as in allied form, this 

 colour also darkening the band to more than halfway between 

 cell and margin, whilst the distal brown part is much darker 

 than it is in kenricki ; in one c^" the brown at the tornus is 

 much more obscured with black. Apical ocelli absent or 

 only two small ones present. Hind wing below with a variable 

 number of ocelli ; the three middle ones may be either absent 

 or partly so. 



Some specimens of kenricki are transitional to the above
