submarginal row of large suffused white spots, only divided 

 by the nervui'es, running across both wings, those nearest the 

 costa of the fore wings longest and furthest from the hind 

 margin. 



Underside similar, but rather paler ; a small pale blue spot 

 before the end of the cell, followed beyond the cell by a row 

 of three spots on the fore wings and five on the hind wings ; 

 the first of the three on the fore wings is a small streak, and 

 the third is a long white streak, tapering outwards to a 

 point. 



Body and extreme base of wings spotted with white. 



" St. Aignan, Oct. 21, 1888; Normunby, Oct. 30, 1888." 



Two specimens from the former locality and one from the 

 latter. A very distinct species, with but little resemblance 

 to any previously described species allied to Euplcea. 



Genus Calliplcea.

" Normunby, Oct. 30, 1888." One specimen. 



A rather variable species. The present specimen has five 

 white spots on the fore wings and three white dots on the 

 hind wings, and beneath, in addition, a white dot just above 

 the discocellular nervule, and a submarginal row of white 

 dots, which, on the hind wings, do not extend to the tip. 



There are four specimens in the British Museum, two (the 

 types) from Port Moresby, New Guinea, and two from New 

 Guinea without further specification of locality. None of 

 these agree exactly in spotting with Mr. Thomson's specimen, 

 though the correctness of the identification is hardly doubtful. 



Genus Salpinx.
