4'-'. Tanaorhinus unipuncta Warr. 



The ? of this New Guinea species is a most beautiful insect. Instead of dark 

 green, the wings are deep chocolate, with the central fascia of forewing white 

 thicklj' dusted with chocolate atoms, the only green parts being a tinge at base, 

 along inner margin at the bottom of the central fascia, and along the hindmargin ; 

 the edge of the basal patch and the submarginal line are whitish, tinged with green. 

 In the hindwing the central and submarginal lines are also whitish. Underneath, 

 the forewing resembles that of the cj, but the red tints are deeper, less vivid; the 

 liindwiug is wholly different, being almost the same as the forewing, instead of 

 bright yellow and red as in the cJ. Face and front of thorax green ; rest of thorax 

 and abdomen deep chocolate, each segment behind with white dorsal points ; palpi 

 dark chocolate with the tips black.

2 cJc?,3 ? ?.
