ceous, as are the second and third pair throughout. The primaries upon 

 the upperside are white tinged with yellow, and with a broad, apical, 

 black tract, which is continued narrowly along the outer margin and more 

 narrowly along the costa. This black border is irrorated along the margin 

 at the apex and above the outer angle by bluish olivaceous, and the ends 

 of the inferior vein and the median nervules are black, and interrupt the 

 white area of the wing for one-third of their length from the outer margin; 

 just at the outer angle is a circular spot of deep black. The secondaries 

 are glaucous at the base; the middle third is bluish green, and upon the 

 outer third there is a broad, black, marginal band, produced inwardly 

 upon the median nervules. The outer margin is marked by a very nar- 

 row, bluish gray, marginal line. Upon the underside the primaries are 

 white, tinged slightly with yellowish, with the fringes black, as upon the 

 upperside. The black apical area of the upperside reappears upon the 

 lowerside, but is interrupted by spots and markings as follows: beyond 

 the cell near the costa by a round spot of bluish white followed by two 

 smaller oblong spots of the same color, by a transverse subapical band 

 of bluish white, two marginal spots of the same tint above the outer angle, 

 and two bright red, oblong spots on either side of the third median ner- 

 vule near the outer margin. The secondaries upon the lowerside are 

 broadly smoky-olive, with the outer margin greenish and the costa at the 

 base crimson. The inner margin is laved with yellowish; the greenish 

 outer margin is traversed by an inner and an outer series of geminate 

 sublunulate markings upon the intraneural spaces; the outer series is 

 separated from the fringe, which is black, and the two members of it from 

 one another by narrow, bluish white lines. 



9 . — The female does not differ materially from the male, except that 

 the wings are much broader and the outer margin, both above and below, 

 has no dark markings within the black fringes above the outer angle, ex- 

 cept the circular spot at that angle, which is most conspicuous upon the 

 lowerside. Expanse: c^, 58 mm.; 9,65 mm.

This is one of the fine new species of Rhopalocera collected by 

 Mr. Doherty during his recent visit to Buru, The genus Mynes 

 has not hitherto been recorded from this island. It is a distinct 

 and well-marked species, which differs in important particulars 

 from all others in the genus. Having examined the figures or 

 the types of all the other known species, I am able to confidently 

 affirm the specific distinctness of the insect.
