110 Mr. Butler's notes on the species of 



8. Euchromia lurlina, n. s. 



About the size of E. isis ; general pattern of wings as in 

 E. creusa, the primaries being black with six hyaline white spots 

 and two or three metallic blue spots, the secondaries with two spots 

 divided by the nervures and a blue spot between them ; the spots 

 of the primaries differ from those of E. creusa as follows, the 

 pair separated by the median vein form an oblique oval ; and the 

 pair separated by the third median branch, as well as the isolated 

 spot above them, are elongated to twice the length and therefore 

 more nearly approach the outer margin ; body black, the frons 

 and margin of eyes snow-white, the shoulders and base of 

 abdomen pale ochreous, the shoulders also opaline ; the centre of 

 tegulse and metathorax metallic greenish blue; the second and 

 third abdominal segments bordered behind with blue and with 

 bright ochreous at the sides, the fourth segment broadly bordered 

 with vermilion ; remaining segments with extremely narrow blue 

 edge ; coxae pearly white ; body below dark brown, the fourth 

 abdominal segment edged with ochreous. Expanse of wings, 

 88mm. 



One example of this very distinct species, from Thurs- 

 day Island, was purchased in 1880. 



4. Euchromia isis, Boisduval. 



Of this very pretty species we only have one speci- 

 men, from Duke of York Island ; it was obtained by one 

 of the collectors for the Godeffroy Museum, and was 

 purchased in 1882. 



5. Euchromia arnica, Walker. 



As already stated this may not be distinct from the 

 E. irius of Boisduval, from which it chiefly differs in the 

 size and width of the hyaline spots on the wings. 



Two examples, Aru (Wallace). 



6. Euchromia cemulina, Butler. 



Allied to the preceding, though unquestionably dis- 

 tinct ; we only possess one example, from New Guinea.
