and outwardly curved, either separated from the spot in 2 or just 

 touching its outer edge ; the two submarginal lines closer together 

 and more bluish. Hind-wing with band more silvery-white and a 

 little narrower, markedly so in one specimen; proximal bordering 

 of submarginal spots more bluish and heavily marked. 



The specimen with a narrow band on the hind-wing has 

 a deep blue gloss over the outer margin of hind-wing above 

 and all traces of green have disappeared. 



Amathusiidae. 

 12. Morphopsis biakensis, sp. no v. 



(Plate V, fig. 2, <?.) 



Smaller than other forms of this genus and with a broader 

 band on the fore-wing, but possessing the general pattern 

 and coloration of albertisi, Ob. The fore-wing is more 

 rounded than in other species of the genus; the outer 

 angle much more oblique and lower median interspace 

 much broader. The cell of the hind- wing is long and narrow, 

 the middle discocellular being twice as long as the first. 



$. Upperside. Fore-wing with band broader anteriorly and 

 distally and half surrounding apical ocellus ; apical blackish-brown 

 much reduced ; one white dot in cellule 6 above the ocellus. Hind- 

 wing with smaller. eye-spot; submarginal line thinner, inner one 

 obsolete. 



Underside. — Fore-wing with band more yellowish; submarginal 

 lines waved at apex, straight from vein 5, inner one much thinner; 

 lower part of eye-spot lying within the band, a white dot placed 

 anteriorly and touching the inner ring; band narrowly bordered 

 with chocolate-brown proximally. Hind-wing with apical ocellus 

 comparatively larger than in forms of alberlisi, Ob. ; proximally 

 of this 'eye-spot and touching veins 5 and 8 a curved brown line as 

 wide as its distance from the ocellus and parallel to its inner edge 

 to vein 4, bending inward to 3, then thickening to form a curve in 

 2, thence to submedian where it joins an inner submarginal line of 

 same colour ; latter line thicker than in the allied species and more 

 regularly waved, also closer to the first submarginal line; latter 

 line closer to margin and only slightly undulate; a brown spot at 

 end of cell and, one at base of vein 7 ; a cell-streak placed more 

 obliquely than in the allied species; 2 white curved marks near the 

 inner submarginal line in cellules 3 and 4.
