36 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



hind-wings with fulvous. There are several black spots on the 

 fore-wings, of which the largest are near the costa. It is very 

 similar to many African species of the genus or sub-genus 

 Telchinia. 



As an illustration of typical Acrcza> we have figured a newly- 

 described species from the Louisiade Archipelago, near New 

 Guinea, 



ACR^EA OZNONE, 

 (Plate XXXVII., Fig. 3.) 



Acrcea oenone, Kirby, Ann. and Mag. Nat Hist., ser. 6, vol. 4, 

 p. 163 (1889). 



Expanse, about an inch and three-quarters. 



Male and Female. Fore-wings semi-transparent grey, darker 

 along the margins and especially at the tip, with a black spot 

 at the base of the cell and transverse black spots in its middle 

 and at its extremity. Beyond the cell is a row of three 

 smaller more or less confluent spots, and there are two more 

 between the branches of the median nervure near their origin; 

 there are also two larger spots between the median and sub- 

 median nervures, one near the base and the other above the 

 middle of the inner margin, and a row of indistinct sagittate 

 spots between the nervures on the hind-margin. Hind-wings 

 black, with a sub-marginal series of eight oblong buff spots, 

 divided by the nervures, those nearest the anal angle emargi- 

 nate on the inside. The spot nearest the costa is linear and 

 considerably produced inwards ; below its inner edge descends 

 a row of three smaller spots, divided by the nervures, and 

 within this is another large irregular spot ; in the black border 

 is a row of obsolete tawny spots, more distinct as they 

 approach the anal angle. 



Under side similar, but on the hind-wings the sub-marginal 

 tawny spots are much more distinct, and there are several 

 cream-coloured spots in the dark basal portion of the wings, 

 which are only indistinctly indicated on the upper surface.
