The series of speci-neus of either sex procured by Mr. Meek at the Upper Aroa 

 River, British New Guinea, proves that mediofasciata and dubiosa are really ? and S 

 of the same species. The dichromatism is quite constant, all the ? ? liaving a 

 black abdomen and a red-banded hindwing, all the cJcT a clayish abdomen and 

 yellow-banded hindwing.
