Butterflies from the Pacific Islands. 517 
Thysonotis hengis. 
Male.— Upperside resembles T. Wallace?, Feld., but the 
wings are brighter blue and the central izroration of white 
scales on the anterior wings is less conspicuous ; on the poste- 
rior wings the white band before the middle is narrower. 
Underside differs little from T. Wallace¢, but on the ante- 
rior wings the costal and apical black area is narrower, as 
well as the white band on the posterior wings, 
Female.— Upperside. Both wings darker brown than in 
T. Wallace?, being nearly black: on the anterior wings the 
dark costal band is bounded at the base by the median nervure, 
while in 7. Wallace it extends at the base broadly to the 
inner margin. On the posterior wings the white subbasal 
area is considerably less extended. 
On the underside of the posterior wings the subbasal white 
band is narrower, the outer black area being broader; the 
submarginal blue band is wider and the black spots in it are 
more elongate; the cilia on both wings are less conspicuously 
white. 
Exp. of wings 13 inch. 
Hab. Kapaur, 8.W. Dutch New Guinea (Doherty). 
In the collections of the Hon. Walter Rothschild and 
Mr. Grose-Smith (types). 
Described from a long series of both sexes. 
It is a considerably larger insect than 7. Wallacet, and 
the wings are broader and rounder. The female resembles 
T. vidua, Grose-Smith, but the white spot at the outer angle, 
and the subcostal blue streak on the upperside of the anterior 
wings of that species are absent, and the white area on the 
posterior wings 1s less extended and less sharply defined than 
in 7, vidua. 
FHLolochila equalis. 
Male.— Upperside. Both wings resemble H. refusa, Grose- 
Smith, but blacker brown. On the anterior wings the white 
area is more extended over the cell and beyond it, and the 
blue suffusion at the base of both wings of H. refusa is very 
slightly represented by dull slate-coloured scales which are 
less extended than in HZ, refusa. 
Underside. The outer dark brown marginal bands of both 
wings are twice as broad as in L, refusa. 
Female.— Upperside yvesembles the male, but is browner 
and without any bluish suffusion.
