1875.] FROM THE NEW HEBRIDES. 613 
broader; short ochreous fascia beyond end of cell narrower and 
deeper in colour; the spot which follows it (at the end of the sub- 
apical series of white spots) white or nearly white, and placed further 
off; secondaries shorter, with the dark spots and submarginal lines 
blacker ; below, all the markings brighter and better defined, the 
silvery spots present in the male, which is generally more deeply 
coloured, whilst the female is paler in tint than D. disaltide : expanse 
of wings 2 inches 10 lines to 3 inches.

15. DoLESCHALLIA MONTROUZIERI, 0. sp. 
_Nymphalis polibete, Montrouzier (nec Cramer). 
Above very like the preceding species, but much smaller, the 
lower black spot of secondaries with a lilacine pupil; below much 
like D. polibete, but duller in colour, with the ocelli proportionally 
larger and better defined: expanse of wings 2 inches 5 lines. 
Vanua Levu, New Hebrides, 6th May, 1875. 
This species cannot be mistaken for D. polibete, the upperside 
being altogether brighter in colouring, with the black-brown area 
much more sharply defined as in D. bisaltide. It seems that I did 
not go far enough in my anticipations with regard to Doleschallia ; 
I expected only to see one new form from the South Seas, whereas 
two have been discovered. 
16. CHARAXES CLITARCHUS *, Hewitson. 
Maré, Loyalty group, May 1875. 
This scarce and beautiful species has hitherto been unique in Mr. 
Hewitson’s collection from New Caledonia; our example is rather 
larger, and has the primaries slightly more faleated than the type ; 
it also differs, in several unimportant points, in pattern and colo- 
ration. 
* 17, DIADEMA NERINA, var. Fabricius. 
Erromango, New Hebrides, 10th May, 1875. 
One example of a handsome variety of D. nerina, in bad condi- 
tion; it approaches D. proserpina in colouring, but has the oblique 
subapical band of primaries clouded with fulvous.

do. Wings above deep brown; several streaks across the cell, a 
broad oblique postmedian diffused band, and two submarginal 
undulated bands separated only by a black line, pale brown; a bifid 
subapical costal spot placed obliquely on the subcostal branches, and 
six rounded discal spots parallel to the margin, all white with a 
narrow lilacine edging ; secondaries with the discal area from just 
beyond the cell abruptly paler, becoming tawny ochreous externally, 
and bounded near the outer margin by a series of ochreous lunulated
