616 Col. C. Swiiilioe on 



Tieuration similar. Botli are from the same locality ; I 

 therefore canuot help being convinced that they are sexes of 

 the same species. One example has on the hind wings below 

 an extra dot near each spot.

Milne Bay, N. Guinea ; one male. Type female in B.M. 



This is not a typical Padraona, there being a sex-mark 

 consisting of a line of raised scales on the fore wing of the 

 male, bordering the inner sides of the first four spots forming 

 the discal band. "When more examples are procured, it will 

 come into a new genus between Padraona, Moore, and 

 Oa-yhydastes, Heron.

 ochraceous : fore wings with a small spot at the upper end

 interspaces touching the discal band, which is linear, out- 

 wardly oblique, and consists of three spots ; four small 

 subapical spots in pairs, almost at right angles to each 

 other ; these spots are obsolete in one example : hind wings 

 with a discal band, broader than the band of the fore wings, 

 consisting of five conjoined spots ; cilia of both wings orange- 

 ochreous ; palpi, frons, and head with ochreous hairs. Under- 

 side bright orange-brown, the whole surface suffused with 

 orange-colour ; spots as above, with the addition of a spot
