the wliite subcostal blotches are developed — cue at base of cell, the other beyond 

 it ; in the ? ? these remain green. In the hindwing the discal spot is followed 

 in the ? by a square suow-white patch ; this is green or whitish green only in 

 the (?c?. In both sexes a noticeable feature, visible in fresh examples, is a 

 reddish patch on inner margin beyond the snbterminal line. 



14. Hypochroma modesta spec. nov. 



Foreu'iitff : deep green, speckled with blackish ; the costal edge marked white 

 in places and striated with blackish ; the lines blackish, forming spots on costa ; 

 first (juite close to base, obscurely marked ; inner line at one-fourth, curved, 

 slightly prominent above and below median vein, and well marked with black and 

 some reddish scales following it on inner margin ; outer line from nearly three- 

 fourths of costa to middle of inner margin, concave outward to vein 0, then lunulate- 

 dentate, and from vein 4 strongly incurved, marked like the inner line with black on 

 inner margin and preceded there by reddish scales ; cell-spot linear, oblique, very 

 obscure ; the inner line is preceded and the outer followed by a slight whitish or 

 bluish-white tinge, which is develoiJed into a patch towards hindmargin, between 

 veins 3 and 4, and along submedian interval ; a few reddish scales before outer line 

 above vein 4 ; a row of black marginal lunnles ; fringe blackish with paler base, 

 with a white fleck below vein 4. 



Hindwing : similar ; the cell-mark accompanied by a pale spot ; submarginal 

 line faintly paler. 



Underside of forewing greenish grey, freckled with blackish, and tinged with 

 olive towards hindmargin, which has a bluish-white patch below middle ; base of 

 cell yellow ; costa yellowish ; cell-spot black ; hindwing in basal half like fore- 

 wing, the outer half black, with a broad whitish fascia along its inner edge and a 

 white patch on margin below vein 4. 



Palpi and face dark brown, the face with a white bar at top and bottom ; 

 vertex green, brown in front ; shoulders green, tipped with brown ; thorax and 

 abdomen green, the latter becoming greyish ochreous in anal half and paler 

 beneath ; dorsal crests very inconspicuous. 



Expanse of wings : 39 mm.

The hindmargin of forewing is slightly elbowed at vein 4. Hindwing with 

 and 7 separate ; forewing with II free.

The examination of a series of 9 c? c? and 9 ¥ ? of saturataria from the Upper 

 Aroa Iliver, British New Guinea, enables me to make this correction. Eight c? <?, 

 (J ? ?, are all typically marked on the uiipersides, but the ii are all orange-yellow 

 below, and the ? ? bluish slate-colour, in one example pale blue ; the black 

 marginal border is narrower and more broken in the ? ? , the apex and marginal 

 blotches bluish grey, instead of whitish ochreous. The remaining 3 ? ¥ have 

 lost the bright green coloration of the uppcrside altogether, tiie slaty hue of 

 the underside predominating and sufi'using the whole surface of both wings, while
