7. Acridura met<dlica, n. sp. 



2 . General character of the preceding, but the body, witli 

 the cxcc])tion of the back of tlie head and the front of the 

 collar, nietallic green ; primaries with the veins, borders, and 

 apex dark brown, the costal border to beyond end of cell me- 

 tallic green ; secondaries with the veins and borders black- 

 brown ; antenna3 black, tipped with white; legs black, with 

 pumle reflections, tarsi of hind pair tipped with white. 



Lxpanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. 



Ilab. Espiritu Santo {inggins). Type, B.M. 



This species doubtless belungs to the same genus as the 

 preceding ; but the absence of the long anal clasps destroys the 

 aberrant character of the type : I should, however, expect to 

 find them, in the male, equally well developed with those of 

 A. gryllina. 



Genus IIyaleucerea, n. gen. 



Nearly allied to Eucereon, but the wings hyaline, the costa 

 of secondaries waved, the lower extremity of the discoidal cell 

 projecting much more prominently forward, thus lengthening 

 the lower discocellular, and the false recurrent vein not run- 

 ning to the base of the cell but to near the base of the median 

 nervure. Type H. ergthrotelus, Walker. 



8. Hyahucerea vulnerata, n. sp. 



Head, palpi, collar, tegul^e, and thorax dark olive-brown ; 

 a spot on each side of the collar, two on the shoulders, one on 

 the centre of tegulte, and four on the thorax creamy white ; 

 abdomen slaty black, a dot at base and three subterminal 

 transverse bands scarlet ; wings hyaline, veins black ; pri- 

 maries with costal border alternately black and clay-coloured ; 

 a black litura across the middle of the cell and a large disco- 

 cellular black spot, upon which the veins are marked in clay- 

 colour ; apical area broadly black, crossed obliquely by a 

 squamose zigzag streak enclosing black spots ; a white spot 

 at apex ; inner margin broadly clay-coloured, becoming black 

 at base and external angle (where there is also a lunulate 

 whitish dot), and crossed by two black liturje ; secondaries 

 with a narrow irregular black border : body below greyish 

 brown ; base of palpi, coxae, base of tarsi, and knees snow- 

 white ; abdomen with a decreasing series of four white spots 

 on each side ; wings with the opaque borders olive-brown, 

 primaries with a white apical spot a,s above. 



Ivxpanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines.
