the lepidopterous genus Euchromia. Ill 



7. Euchromia ccelipennis, Walker. 

 Two examples from Amboina ; it also occurs in 

 Ceram, and has recently been described and figured 

 by Herr Rober, under the name of Glaucopis pagen- 

 steckeri. 



8. Euchromia cenone, Butler. (PL IV., fig. 2). 

 One of the most beautiful species in the genus ; we 

 have a good series collected by Messrs. Woodford and 

 Mathew in Alu, Sta Anna, Guadalcanal and Malay ta 

 (Solomon Islands). 



9. Euchromia mathewi, n. s. (PL IV., fig. 3). 

 Allied to the preceding ; decidedly smaller, the primaries with 

 the subbasal elongate spot and the spot above the median vein 

 smaller ; the discal patch divided into three, instead of two large 

 spots ; the basal patch of secondaries much wider, in the female 

 uniting with the trifid patch beyond ; the body is more slender 

 than in E. cenone, the shoulder spots pearly white instead of 

 ochreous, the basal segment white at the sides, anterior coxae snow- 

 white instead of metallic green, the metathorax with two metallic 

 green spots placed obliquely on each side, the crimson abdominal 

 segments completely encircling the abdomen; the black inter- 

 vening stripes being narrower than above, but not interrupted. 

 Expanse of wings, 36 41 mm. 



Solomon Islands : Three examples collected by Mr. 

 Gervase Mathew. 



10. Euchromia creusa t Linn. 



This is the species figured by Cramer under the name 

 of Sphinx irus, and by Herr Rober, under the name of 

 Glaucopis dubia. I believe S. ihelebus to be a represen- 

 tation of a worn example of the same species (such as 

 we have from Ceram) ; our series consists of two 

 examples from Ceram, three from Gilolo, one from the 

 Celebes, one from the Pelew Islands, and one from the 

 N.E. coast of Australia. 



Var. ? Euchromia ganymede, Doubleday. 

 This handsome form is the commonest and most vari- 

 able of the group ; it differs from typical E. creusa princi- 

 pally in the much greater size of the hyaline spots on its 

 wings ; the outer spots of the primaries vary from three
