lUmlwings : deep purjile, crossed just before middle by a broad pale greenish 

 yellow band, swollen at middle, and containing a large semi-oval discal spot of 

 purple ; marginal area traversed by a deeji orange belt of coutiguous lunnles, the 

 two between veins 3 and o smaller, less contiguous, and nearer liindraargin. 



Underside the same, but with the pale yellow and orange markings all more 

 developed and clearer. Head, thorax, and abdomen all deep purple, except the 

 anal segments and sides of abdomen and the external margin of the eyes, which 

 are orange. 



Expanse of wings : 104 mm. 



1 ? from Isabel Island, June— July I'JUl (Meek). 



This is closely allied to f>. regnatrix from Knlambangra, another island of the 

 Solomon group : but in it the ])ur])le tints jiredominate to a much greater degree ; 

 the types of both are ? ? , so that the difference is not sexual. 



Subfamily GEOMETRINAE. 

 1-5. Anisogfamia albifimbria spec. nov. 



Forcwiiiqs : deep grass-green ; costa white, with some small brown striae ; the 

 lines snow-white ; first from one-eighth of costa to one-third of inner margin, 

 waved : a small white spot at centre of base, and a slight white discal mark ; outer 

 line from two-thirds of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, lunulate-dentate, curved 

 out at first from costal streak to vein 6, then vertical to 5, between .5 and 4 forming 

 a strongly marked lunule towards base, from 4 to 3 a vertical lunule, thence oblique, 

 the large lunule below vein 2 broadly and diffusely white ; submarginal line formed 

 by a series of white blotches between the veins ; before the hindmargin the ground- 

 colour becomes pure white like the fringe, and in the middle of the white is a series 

 of blackish marginal Innules mixed with green scales. 



Jlindwings : without first line; the green ground-colour slightly powdered 

 with white. 



Underside white with a tinge of green, but in the forewings tlie basal 

 two-thirds, as far as outer line, is suffused with greenish fuscous, the costa and 

 a curved submarginal band being darker fuscous ; iu Lindwings, wholly white 

 except a submarginal blotch at apex continued as a fine dark shade partly round 

 wing ; marginal dark spots on both wings. Face, thorax, and abdomen green, the 

 last with white dorsal spots ; vertex white ; j)alpi fuscous ; underside of abdomen 

 and legs white ; forelegs in front fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm. 



1 ? from Isabel Island, June— July 1001 (Meek). 



Nearest to A. nicisparsa Bntler, from Duke of York Island. 



The white hiudmargin and fringe with the dark marginal lunnles will 

 distinguish the species at once. 



10. Chrysochloroma ornatifimbria spec. nov. 

 Forewings: deep gi-ass-grcen ; iu certain lights two faint darker green shades 

 can be detected, the first curved at one-fourth, the second just beyond middle, 

 slightly bent at vein 4 ; these shades are indistinctly dentate-lunulate ; between 

 them is a bright orange-red cell-spot ; marginal line deep brown, interrupted by 

 rather large ochreous spots at the vein ends ; fringe grey-brown, continued along 

 with the marginal line round the a])ex, the latter running along costa nearly to
