XLVI.—Descriptions of new Lepidoptera from the Viti Islands. 
By Artuur G. Burter, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 
Tue following new species have been received from the Godef- 
froy Museum :— 
RHOPALOCERA. 
1. Catochrysops vitiensis, sp. n. 
$. Wings above dull smoky grey, changing in some lights 
to dull lilacine blue; fringe blackish, grey at the tips; head 
and thorax blackish ; abdomen smoky grey. Wings below 
pale brownish ash-grey, traversed by numerous undulated 
whitish-edged brown lines in pairs, so as to form ill-defined 
‘bands ; across the primaries are three of these bands, the first 
just before the basal third, oblique, slanting slightly outwards 
from the costal to the submedian vein; the second abbre- 
viated, closing the discoidal cell, its outer edge with a promi- 
nent central process, its inferior extremity touching the third 
band, the latter crosses the disk, from costal to submedian 
vein, parallel to outer margin, and is followed by a sub- 
marginal series of brown crescentic markings with white 
edges on both sides, again followed by a nearly marginal 
series of ill-defined dusky spots; a very slender blackish mar- 
ginal line; fringe whitish, with a dusky central line; the 
bands on the secondaries are a modification of those on the 
primaries, but being necessarily more crowded together, the 
second and third bands appear to form a single belt, its inner 
edge nearly straight, and its outer edge arched, the centre 
therefore being very wide, composed of four lines and enclo- 
sing between the pairs a mere comma-shaped trace of the 
ground-colour; the submarginal crescentic markings are also 
modified, three towards apex remaining in their normal con- 
dition, but the others uniting into a slightly undulated arched 
line, so as to enclose a broad golden ochreous patch from anal 
angle to third median branch, upon which are four black- 
edged metallic emerald-green spots—two large, rounded, with 
conspicuous black centres, on the median interspaces, and two 
small towards anal angle ; margin and fringe as in primaries ; 
base broadly blackish irrorated with white; body below 
greyish white; the palpi black, with the base of their fringes 
white. Hxpanse of wings 26 millim. 
Viti Islands (December 1878).. 
2. Belenois inopinata, sp. n. 
9. Most nearly allied to B. charina of South Africa,
