and Cliina than anything else hitherto described. In pattern 

 it is not unlike the species of Nepita. 



10. KatJia fraterna, sp. n. 



Primaries flesh-coloured, with an ochreous subtint : secon- 

 daries rather dark buflf- coloured. Head and collar sordid 

 ochreous ; antennae blackish ; shoulders ochraceous ; thorax 

 and tegulag dark brownish grey ; abdomen whity brown at 

 base, ochraceous towards the anal extremity. Wings below 

 stramineous, inclinina; to ochreous on the costal borders. Body 

 below ochraceous. Expanse of wings 28 millira. 



S $ . Guadalcanar. 



Curiously nearlv^ allied to K. intermixta o{ South India, 

 differing in its deeper coloration throughout, its blackish 

 antennae, and dark grey thorax and tegulas ; as nothing so 

 closely allied seems to exist in the vast area separating the 

 habitats of these two species, it is possible that in this 

 instance the affinity may be more apparent than actual, being 

 due to reversion.

 11. Hi/f>fia semifusca, sp. n. 



Allied to //. keliconia, from which it differs in having the 

 external border of the secondaries extended inwards to the 

 centre of the wing, the inner edge of the border being oblique 

 and convex instead of concave in its wider portion ; the 

 creamy white basal area is also less pure in colour, especially 

 towards the costa ; the clavus of the median streak of primaries 

 sometimes reduced to a mere thickening of the white extre- 

 mity of the median vein. Expanse of wings 52-58 millim. 



Alu (three specimens). 



H. heUco7iia, of which we possess seven examples, is the 

 form of H. dana occurring in Amboina ; it differs chiefly from 

 the latter in its more broadly black-banded abdomen and tlie 

 slightly broader median streak of the primaries. Possibly 

 these slight differences may prove to be inconstant in a 

 larger series. 



12. Hypsa diana^ sp. n. 

 Allied to 77. australis of New Guinea (Voy. de 1' Astrolabe, 

 pi. V. fig. 3), but differs as follows : — Primaries with the sub- 

 basal white patch reduced to a small sagittate spot; a small 

 orbicular spot in the centre of the cell ; a large white crescent, 

 as in 77. ausfralis, but separated from the basal patch by 

 nearly double the distance : secondaries and body of a more 

 lively ochreous colour j the border of secondaries very broad
