angle ; submargiiuil spots smaller aiul whiter than above, the 

 filth obsolete. 



Posterior wings uniform rutous brown. 



Body dark brown, inclining to blackish in front, witli a 

 white spot behind each antenna ; four spots at the back of 

 the head ; a white spot on each side of the thorax in front, and 

 diverging crests of grey hair on the front of the thorax above ; 

 sides of the head and thorax and base of the wings spotted 

 with white beneath. 



Female. — Upperside. Anterior wings nearly as in the male, 

 but the fawn-coloured patch much longer than in the male 

 and not marked with white, except at the extremity, where 

 the white suti'usion forms a pear-shaped spot, covering the 

 place of the sixth submarginal spot; the submarginal spots 

 are larger and whiter than in the male, and are continued 

 by a seventh, followed below by a short streak, above the 

 submedian nervure ; the lawn-coloured patch nearly extends 

 here to the seventh spot ; the white oval spot of the male is, 

 of course, wanting. 



Posterior wings rufous brown, darkest in the centre, dusted 

 with grey along the costa, especially towards the tip, but with 

 no bufF space over the upper part of the cell. 



Underside. Anterior wings rufous brown, the pale patch 

 very large, fawn-coloured in and just below the cell, the 

 rest mostly whitish as f«r as the inner margin, and along 

 it nearly to the anal angle ; of the submarginal spots, the 

 two nearest the costa are represented as white dots, the sixth 

 is large and connected by a neck with the outer part of the 

 pale blotch, and there are two small white dots close together 

 between the lowest median nervule and the submedian 

 nervure. 



Head, body, and base of wings below spotted with white 

 nearly as in the male, two white streaks at the back of the 

 pectus being particularly conspicuous, much more so than in 

 the male.

Allied to Liirdapa usipeteSj llewitson {Euploea usipetes, Ex. 

 Butt, ii., Fupl. t. i. fig. 4), but may be distinguished at once 

 by the submarginal spots. Hewitson's type of E. usipetes is 

 from New Guinea, and appears to be the same species as a 

 series from Aru in the British Museum. All these are males, 

 and the insect which Hewitson describes as the female is 

 evidently Sarohia Grayi^ Feld. I hope shortly to have an 

 opportunity of figuring H. rezia.
