duabus positis serieque altera cellularum fines approximata albis

 maculis submarginalibus obsoletis aliisque ultra cellulara albidis. 

 Exp. 3-9 in. 



Hah. Solomon Islands, Alu Island, Guadalcanar Island 

 {C. M. Woodford). 



Var. ? 



2 anticis fere immaculatis, macula costali unica parva notatis ; 

 posticis macula unica distincta prope angulum apicalera, ceteris 

 obsoletis : an species altera ? 



Hah. Maravo Island [C. M. Woodford). 



In the curvature of the inner margin of the primaries and 

 the position of the silky patch on the secondaries this species 

 resembles E. pasithea, \i\xi the latter is not fawn-colour as 

 in E. pasifhea ] moreover, the underside of both wings has 

 three concentric bands of spots. 



We have a single female specimen from Maravo Island 

 which differs as stated above from examples of the same sex 

 from Alu Island. In the absence of the male we do not think 

 it prudent to give it a name, though we believe it will, on the 

 receipt of more examples, prove distinct. 



Euploea gen'onj sp. n. 



$ E. asyllo certe affinis ; anticis maculis discalibus nullis, punctis 

 duobus ad costam, plaga acuata venis divisa ad angulum apicalem 

 albida ; posticis margiue interno et margine externo late albis, 

 illo vix lilacino induto : subtus maculis submarginalibus in fasciam 

 latam albam fere absorptis. Exp. 3'9 in. 



cJ adhuc ignotus. 



Hah. Solomon Islands, North-west Bay in Maleita Island 

 {CM. Woodford). 



Though we have only a single female specimen of this 

 species, its distinctness is so obvious that we feel we may 

 safely give it a name. From the position of the ultra-cellular 

 spots on both wings its relationship to E. asyllus is shown. 

 E. gerion is doubtless the Maleita Island form of that species. 



Eiiplcea heurippa, sp. n. 



Alis saturate brunneis ; posticis ad marginem externum saturatiori- 

 bus et purpureo-tiuctis ; anticis macula elongata ultra costae 

 medium et maculis sex parvis submarginalibus obscure lilacinis ;
