1875.] FROM THE NEW HEBRIDES. 611 
outer border broader, dark brown, becoming reddish on the margin ; 
wings helow paler, the discoidal cell of secondaries without any trace 
of longitudinal streaks : expanse of wings 2 inches 9 lines. 
Aneiteum, New Hebrides, 22nd April 1875. 
Danais pumila is a very constant and small species, measuring 2 
inches 1—2 lines in expanse ; the female has come in this collection ; 
I therefore have no hesitation in considering the above insect from 
Aneiteum perfectly distinct. 
3. DANAIS MODERATA, 0. sp. 
©. Allied to D. hamata, from which it differs in the reddish basal 
costa of primaries, and in having all the subhyaline spots smaller, 
narrower, and paler in colour; wings below redder in tint: expanse 
of wings 3 inches 5 lines. 
Vaté or Sandwich Island, New Hebrides, 28th April 1875. 
D. hamata seems to have its representatives everywhere ; whenever 
we receive an Indian or Indo-Australian collection, some form of it 
is almost sure to come. The following are now in the collection of 
the British Museum :— 
1. D. septentrionis, from India; 2. D. microsticta, from Borneo ; 
3. D. leucoptera, New Guinea; 4. D. hamata, Australia; 5. D. 
melittula, Upolu; 6. D. obscurata, Solomon Islands; 7. D. moderata, 
Sandwich Islands.

Island, New Hebrides, 5th May, 1875. 
6. EupL@a TORVINA, 2. sp. 
3. Nearly allied to the preceding, with the same elongated seri- 
ceous streak on upper surface of primaries, but slightly longer in 
the wing, altogether deeper in colour, and with the marginal area 
and anal angle of secondaries much less pale; no subapical diffused 
whitish streak in primaries; the same differences below, but much 
more evident, the costa of secondaries also nearly straight and the 
litura on first median interspace of primaries elongated into a streak: 
expanse of wings 3 inches | line. 
Aneiteum, 22nd April, 1875. 
7. CALLIPL@A IPHIANASSA 6, 9, Butler. 
Aneiteum, New Hebrides, 22nd April, 1875.” 
Two forms of this species occur, one having the submarginal spots 
of primaries large towards costa, the other having them small; this 
modification is found in both sexes.
