extending over the upper half of the cell of tlie latter, as iii 

 the allied species. Anterior wings with a bluish-white spot, 

 obsolete above, in the middle of the costa, and a submarginal 

 row of seven white spotS; the first three largest and approxi- 

 mating; an oval bluish-white spot below the first branch of 

 the median nervure. Posterior wings with two white sub- 

 marginal dots (sometimes nearly obsolete) below the tip. 



Underside : anterior wings w^ith the submarginal spots 

 nearly as above, but opposite to the last is a larger and 

 slightly bluish-white spot nearer the base ; beneath this, on 

 a large bulF patch covering the inner margin of the wing, is 

 an oval black ring occupying the position of the bluish- white 

 spot of the upper surface. Posterior wings with one or two 

 white dots close to the base, and a submarginal row of more 

 or less distinct white dots. 



" Rossel Island, Oct. 18, 1888." 



Three specimens obtained. 



Closely allied to S.grueffiana, Heer, from the Fiji Islands, 

 in the arrangement of its spots ; but the latter species has the 

 hind margin paler and the costal spot (which is entirely 

 absent in one specimen of S. eustachius) more distinct above. 

 In colour S. eustachius more resembles 8. oculatus^ Moore, 

 from Mindanao.

7. Stictojyiosa Macgregori^ sp. n, 



Exp. al. 72 millim. 



Female. — Rich velvety black ; hind wings browner, espe- 

 cially towards the costa and inner margin, the latter slightly 

 inclining to red. Anterior wings with a submarginal row of 

 eight white dots of irregular shape, the second the largest, 

 the fourth very minute, and the seventh and eighth approxi- 

 mate. Posterior wings with a submarginal row of eleven 

 white spots (the first obsolete above), increasing in size to the 

 seventh, at first round and then oval, the seventh and ninth 

 the longest. 



Underside paler ; anterior wings with the small fourth dot 

 obsolete; posterior wings with small pale bluish dots, one 

 before the end of the cell, one in the first fork of the sub- 

 costal, and another in the upper fork of the median nervure ; 

 a submarginal row of eleven white spots as above, but the 

 second, third, eighth (sometimes), and ninth with a smaller
