the black markiugs remaiu the same as in the type-foriu. In one examjile, the 

 darkest of the three, the whole underside is a rich pnrple-blue. These three 

 ? ? are identical with the ? described by me as Actenochroma ? cacsia from 

 Fergasson Island, and of which I have also seen a ? from Ron Island. This 

 must now stand as an aberration of satunttaria Wlk. ? . The redescriptiou of 

 the c? under the name of perftdeata was due to the erroneous idea that AValker's 

 types of saturataria and alhifasobria, both given from Mysol, referred to one and 

 the same species. The ninth c? of the series received differs from the type-form 

 on the upperside almost as much as the caesia form of the ? , and I describe it as 



ab. perviridata nov. 



Foretcing : pale green, slightly deeper green towards hindmargin ; all the 

 darker green mottlings and black lines and shades of the type-form wanting except 

 the costal speckling ; the inner and outer lines are marked only at inner margin 

 with black and red scales, the outer also with dark green beyond the cell ; 

 submarginal line represented by a small patch of reddish scales on vein 5 ; 

 hindwings with the outer line faintly marked in black and red, some black and red 

 scales also on the upper half of discocellular and along subcostal vein towards 

 base ; the basal two-thirds of both wings and the veins throughout are con- 

 spicuously spotted and mottled with white. Head, thorax, and abdomen of the 

 same pale green as the wings, the bar at base of face and across the middle 

 of shoulders paler red than in the type. Underside like typical iS in all 

 respects. 



The example is slightly larger than those of the ordinary form. 



16. Hypochroma subrubella spec. nov. 



Forewing : moss-green, varied with brown and fuscous, and striated with 

 blackish ; central area darker, its inner edge at one-third, vertical, slightly 

 indented below median, the outer from three-fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner 

 margin, slightly bent at vein 6 and concave to 4, then deutate-lunulate and 

 incurved, the teeth well marked on the veins ; cell-sjwt blackish, followed by a 

 paler patch ; basal third green, traversed by a band of reddish brown and fuscous 

 striae, broad and triangular at costa and fading out before inner margin ; a narrow 

 reddish and fuscous basal patch ; submarginal line dentate, pale green, the teeth 

 whitish, tilled up with reddish and fuscous, beyond a greenish band ; marginal area 

 paler at middle, the veins marked broadly with brown, the intervals with green ; 

 indistinct marginal blackish lunules ; fringe greenish, darker beyond veins. 



llindwing : similar ; the outer line acutely dentate ; generally the brown tints 

 predominate in the basal, the green in the marginal area. 



Underside of both wings dull brick-red ; costa of forewing yellowish, speckled 

 with red ; an angnlated blackish median line on both wings ; a sulnuarginal row of 

 pale spots on veins preceded liy a darker tinge ; fringe of both wings greenish 

 ochreous, mottled with reddish in forewing, tipped only with reddish in the 

 hiudwing. 



Face and j)alpi reddish above, ochreous below ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 gieen varied witli reddish ; the base of shoulders and jiatagia;ind the basal segments 

 of abdomen marked with reddisli and fuscous scales ; dorsal crests of abdomen 

 metallic, prominent, curled ; antennae reddisli.
