Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera from Lifu. 353 



This is a well-marked species, of the size and with the 

 aspect of C. nivea, but in its ornamentation more nearly 

 agreeing with G. achates. 



Atella, Doubleday. 

 15. Atella egisttna, Quoj and Gaimard (No. 10). 



This species appears to be extremely common at Lifu ; it 

 occurs also at Mare. I was at first disposed to regard it as a 

 variety of A. Boiodenia (see P. Z. S. 1875, p. 614). 



AcsjEiN^, Bates. 

 AcKJiA, Fabricius. 



16. Acrcea andromacha, Fabricius. 



As pointed out by Herr Schmeltz, I was correct in ray 

 original notice of this species as an inhabitant of the Islands 

 of the South Pacific ; it does not, however, appear to be 

 common. 



Family Erycinidae. 



LiBYTSEiN^, Bates.* 



LiBYTHEA, Fabricius. 



17. Lihythca quadrinotata^ n. sp. 



Primaries dark brovm, shining and tinted with ochraceous

 inner margin ; a spot in the end of the cell, and a large patch 

 (crossed by the second median branch) on the disk, pinky 

 white, edged with ochraceous ; a bifid subcostal white spot 

 beyond the cell, and a subsinuate bifid discal spot towards the 

 apex, white : secondaries with the basal area sordid subochra- 

 ceous ; external area dark brown ; a broad fascia, very wide 

 on the abdominal margin, and gradually narrowing to near 

 the apex, and a subapical spot above its extremity, ochreous : 

 body above brownish olivaceous. Primaries below grey, the 

 cell ochraceous; the four spots as above, but all white, the discal 

 area enclosed by them dark brown : secondaries lilacine greyish, 

 speckled with red-brown and crossed, near the base of the 



* Mr. Scudder proposes to regard this as an abnormal group of the 

 Nymphalidce ; but I cannot agree with him in this.
