7. Acridura metallica, n. sp. 
2. General character of the preceding, but the body, with 
the exception of the back of the head and the front of the 
collar, metallic green; primaries with the veins, borders, and 
apex dark brown, the costal border to beyond end of cell me- 
tallic green ; secondaries with the veins and borders black- 
brown; antenne black, tipped with white; legs black, with 
purple reflections, tarsi of hind pair tipped with white. 
Eixpanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. 
Hab. Espiritu Santo (Higgins). Type, B.M. 
This species doubtless belongs to the same genus as the 
preceding ; but the absence of the long anal clasps destroys the 
aberrant character of the type: I should, however, expect to 
find them, in the male, equally well developed with those of 
A, gryllina. 
Genus HYALEUCEREA, n. gen. 
Nearly allied to Eucereon, but the wings hyaline, the costa 
of secondaries waved, the lower extremity of the discoidal cell 
projecting much more prominently forward, thus lengthening 
the lower discocellular, and the false recurrent vein not run- 
ning to the base of the cell but to near the base of the median 
nervure. ‘l'ype H. erythrotelus, Walker. 
8. Hyaleucerea vulnerata, n. sp. 
Head, palpi, collar, tegule, and thorax dark olive-brown ; 
a spot on each side of the collar, two on the shoulders, one on 
the centre of tegule, and four on the thorax creamy white ; 
abdomen slaty black, a dot at base and three subterminal 
transverse bands scarlet; wings hyaline, veins black ; pri- 
maries with costal border alternately black and clay-coloured ; 
a black litura across the middle of the cell and a large disco- 
cellular black spot, upon which the veins are marked in clay- 
colour; apical area broadly black, crossed obliquely by a 
squamose zigzag streak enclosing black spots; a white spot 
at apex; inner margin broadly clay-coloured, becoming black 
at base and external angle (where there is also a lunulate 
whitish dot), and crossed by two black liture ; secondaries 
with a narrow irregular black border: body below greyish 
brown; base of palpi, coxee, base of tarsi, and knees snow- 
white; abdomen with a decreasing series of four white spots 
on each side; wings with the opaque borders olive-brown, 
primaries with a white apical spot as above. 
Expanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines. 
Hab. Espiritu Santo (Higgins). Type, B.M.
