spots on both wings are almost identical with those on the 

 underside of D. ladas. 



Expanse of wings 2| inches. 



Hah. Fergusson Island {Meek). 



In the collection of the Hon. Walter Rothschild. 



T). Caliban is a much larger insect than D. ladas ; the 

 irrorated yellow basal area on the underside of the posterior 

 wings is a very distinct feature, apart from other differences. 

 • Two examples were in the collection. 



Delias maga. 



Male. — Upperside. Anterior wings white, with costal 

 margin narrowly and apical third very broadly black, the 

 black area extending obliquely across the disk and narrowing 

 to below the lowest median nervule, thence becoming linear 

 to a little below the submedian nervure ; two small clusters 

 of white scales a little before the apex. Posterior wings with 

 a black outer marginal band nearly three times as broad as 

 in D. mysisj Fabr., and other allied species or varieties. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the black area as on the 

 upperside, in which a little before the apex is a row of five 

 spots, of which the three upper spots are the largest, situate 

 obliquely and coloured yellow ; the two lower spots are 

 white and smaller and narrower ; base tinged with yellow. 

 Posterior wings with a very broad marginal black band, 

 sinuate on its inner edge, and extending over the outer third, 

 in which is a row of seven contiguous red spots or lunules, 

 rather narrower than in D. mysis and D. lara, de Haan, 

 which traverses the black band at about one third from the 

 outer margin ; the basal half of the wings bright yellow, the 

 yellow area extending over the whole of the cell and below it 

 until reaching the black band. 



Expanse of wings 2| inches. 



Bab. Sud-Est, British New Guinea (Woodford). 



In Mr. Grose Smith's collection. 



Closely allied to D. my sis ^ D. lara, and D. cruentata, Butl., 

 but distinguished by the much broader black areas on both 

 sides of the wings. 



Huphina leucophora. 



Male. — Upperside. Both wings creamy white, with broad 

 black outer marginal bands. Anterior wings with the base 

 and costal margin dusted with grey scales; the apical third 

 and outer marginal area broadly black, having its inner edge 

 irregularly indented between the veins and being narrowest
