from the Solomon Islands. 215 



Nearest to E. terminalis and E. endamoides^ but the mark- 

 ings of the primaries most like those of RotJiia eriopis from 

 Madagascar. 



2. Eusemia Woodfordii, sp. n. 



Black : primaries with five snow-white spots, the first 

 elliptical, near the base of the interno-median interspace; the 

 second oblique, subquadrate, crossing the cell near its extre- 

 mity ; the third placed obliquely below and beyond the second 

 towards external angle, oval ; a small spot above the latter ; 

 the fifth forming a large quadrate patch beyond the cell ; in 

 some specimens there is an additional small white cuneiform 

 spot near the base of the cell : secondaries snow-white, with the 

 base and borders rather broadly black. Abdomen of male 

 with the basal half of its dorsal surface blackish, the anal 

 half and entire ventral surface bright cadmium-yellow ; abdo- 

 men of female greyish brown, with ochreous anal segment. 

 Wings below as above, excepting that the white spots have 

 greyish borders. Expanse of wings, J 60 millim., $ 65 

 millim. 



Alu, Shortland Island, 



Allied to E. vacillans, but vaguely resembling E. Horni- 

 manni. 



3. Ophthalmis alu€7isis'^, sp. n. (possibly Lithosia formosa^ 



Montr.). 



^ . Nearly allied to 0. hamhucina: primaries velvet-black, 

 becoming brown on the external border, the fringe at apex 

 tipped with buff; veins almost wholly plumbaginous or seri- 

 ceous bluish grey, an orbicular spot and discocellular crescent 

 and an interno-median spot below the orbicular spot, all seri- 

 ceous bluish grey : secondaries dark brown at base and on 

 costa, changing to black from the middle of the wing, shot 

 with blue ; a moderately broad orange border occupying the 

 external fifth of the wing. Body above black; collar, anal 

 segment, and anal tuft orange. Primaries below greyish 

 brown shot with steel-bluish, but less strongly between the 

 veins towards outer margin ; basal half of costal margin 

 edged with buff; fringe as above : secondaries as above. Body 

 below brown ; front of pectus and anus orange ; abdomen 



* The following species may be described bere : — 

 Ophthalmis Zelleri, sp. n. 



(S . Size and colouring of O. lincea, but differing iu the orange fringe 

 of the primaries and the smaller apical patch on these wings, the iimer 

 edge of the said patch being rather concave than convex ; the orange 

 border of the secondaries as narrow as in O. hamhucina from the Philip- 

 pines, Expanse of wings 48 millim. 



Ternate (coll. Zeller, iu Brit. Mus.).
