a submarginal undulating black line. Beneath the two insects 

 are much alike, but the inner submarginal line is much 

 more strongly shown in G. sapor, and the transverse line 

 through the end of the cell is bordered outwardly by a whitish 

 edge. 



The females of the two insects are much alike, but that of 

 G. sapor has the outer half of the secondaries more freely 

 sprinkled with dusky scales, the ocelli are further from the 

 margin, and there are other minor characters. 



Mr. Mathew's collection contains a female Gyntlwi from 

 Ugi Island, but without a male for comparison it is not 

 possible to say to which species it belongs.

C. arsinoce quoque similis et alls ejusdcm colons, sed minor: subtus 

 linea submarginali interiore multo magis distiucta, posticis linea

The range of this Gynthia is separated from that ot G. 

 arsinoe by G. sapor, which occupies several intermediate 

 islands, and by G. clodia, of the island of Ulaua. G. sapor 

 is by far the most distinct of them all from G. arsinoe, and it 

 is a curious fact that it occupies islands intermediate between 

 New Guinea and the extreme islands of the Solomon group, 

 the two forms of Gynthia from the latter being very similar 

 to the true G. arsinoe. 



Gynthia clodia, sp. n. 



C arsinoce quoque aflBnis, posticis fascia submarginali iuteriore multo 

 latiore, area inter ocellos fusco uebulosa; subtus fascia submar- 

 ginali interiore magis distincta. Exp., c? 3" 7, $ 4-5 in. 



Hah. Solomon Islands, Ulaua Island ((7. M. Wood/brd). 



There is a pair of this form in the collection, the male 

 showing sufficient marks of distinction to admit of its sepa- 

 ration. It is next to G catenes, but is larger and has the 

 under surface of the wings almost devoid of the lilac tint 

 which Suffuses those of the allied form. The inner of the 

 two submarginal lines is broader and more distinct both above 

 and below.
