By Walter Dannatt, P.E.S. 



(Plate VII.) 



Delius hempeli, sp, n. (PI. VII. fig. 3, under side). 

 Male. Chalky white, with black markings. Fore wings have the 

 lower discocelluar black, and a brond black patch beyond it, extending 

 from just below the costa to near the outer margin, terminating at the 

 second vein ; its inner edge is diffuse, and from its outer edge the 

 black is continued alou^^ the veins, forming five elongated white spots 

 on the outer margin. Hind wings white, powdered beyond tiie middle 

 with greyish, with four cuneiform spots faintly distinguished. Under 

 side fore wings similar to upper side, but the black has a brownish 

 tinge, and is diffused more or less over the whole of the area, the basal 

 and inner margin being yellow sufi'used with black. Hind wings 

 black, basal area yellow, extending along the inner margin, where it is 

 powdered with black ; marginal spots yellow, the upper two longer 

 than the others. The under side of this species (a male) most nearly 

 resembles the female of Delias Candida, but the fore wings are much 

 lighter, and the spots on under side of hind wings are reddish and of a 

 difl'erent form. Expanse, 73 mm. 



Hah. Gilolo. I have much pleasure in naming this species 

 after an American friend, Mr. Adolph Hempel. 



Chlorippe godmani, sp. n. (PI. VII. fig. 1). 

 Female. Dark chocolate-brown, tinged with fulvous on the outer 

 marginal area, crossed by a broad white band from the subcostal 

 interspace to the inner margin ; this is followed by a darker diffuse 

 band. There is a reddish subapical spot, and another between the 

 white band and the anal angle, and some bluish scales beneath. 

 Under side of fore wings pallid ; the subapical spot is almost white, the 

 basal third of the wings fulvous, obscured by silver at its extremity 

 and along the costal area, white opaque band ; the outer marginal area 

 is duller brown, becoming whitish beyond the cell ; the whole area, 

 except the margin itself, is washed with silver, outer margin whitish. 

 Thorax and abdomen brown above, white beneath. This species is
