Hamadryas evages, sp. n. 



11. zoilo affinis et anticis eodeni modo maculatia ; posticis plaga 

 centrali alba parva et liiieis transversis nigris fere integria tripar- 

 tita, margine externo lato, Exp. 2*1 in. 



Hah. Solomon Islands, Aola in Guadalcanar Island [O.M. 



Woodford) . 



We are unable to find any specimens of H. zoilus and its 

 immediate allies agreeing with these examples from Guadal- 

 canar Island. The central spot on the secondaries is crossed 

 by two dark bands, one almost entire through the end of the 

 cell, the other along the line of the submedian nervure. The 

 male appears to have no costal spot on the secondaries, but 

 this spot is present in the females. We have three examples 

 of a Hamadryas from Mysori Island, on the north-west coast 

 of New Guinea, sent us by Dr. A. B. Meyer, which hardly 

 differ from H. evages now described. The white patch of the 

 secondaries, however, is rather more elongated, and thus 

 approaches that of H, zoilus. 



Hamadryas hieroy sp. n. 



H. assarico proxima, posticis plaga alba centrali magis rotundata 

 lineis duabus transversis nigris fere integris tripartita, margine 

 externo nigro latiore. Exp. 2*1 in. 



Hab. Solomon Islands, Fauro Island (C. M Woodford). 



The collection contains a pair of this species, which is allied 

 to H. assaricus of Ceram and Amboina, but differs in the 

 points indicated above. 



Cynthia sajpor^ sp. n. 



C. arsmocB affinis, sed posticis supra et subtus plaga magna discali 

 alba notata facile distinguenda. Exp., (S 4-4, $ 5-5 in. 



Hab. Solomon Islands, Alu Island, Fauro Island, Aola in 

 Guadalcanar Island {C. M. Woodford). 



This Cynthia belongs to the same group as C. arsinoe, to 

 which in colour and the general distribution of its markings 

 it bears a strong resemblance ; but besides having the two 

 ocelli on the secondaries further from the outer margin, C. 

 sapor has a large white patch extending beyond the cell 

 nearly to the outer margin and from the anal angle to the 

 subcostal branch. The posterior ocellus is included in this 

 white patch, and it is cut by the rufous nervures and contains
