Two specimens, tj and ?, from New Hanover, from spirits, collected by 

 Captain Cayley Webster, have lost their colonr, and can therefore only be presumed 

 to belong to this form, or a closely allied new one. 



Dr. Gadow {Cat. JL ix.) has nnited with M. crue/data the following three 

 forms : M. coccinea from Dnke of York Island, M. erythrina from New Ireland, 

 and J/. Ideinschmuhl from New Britain. This, as already pointed out by C-onnt 

 Salvador!, is certainly wrong ; but we think the latter goes too far in considering 

 them as distinct species. They are evidently rei)resentative forms, and should 

 stand as distinct subspecies of .1/. cruentata.
