150 ON BUTTERFLIES FROM DUKE-OF-YORK ISLAND. [Feb. 20, 
4, Nrocu@ra EuGENIA (Cr.), Pap. Ex. t. 398. f. M (Amboyna). 
A single specimen (in good condition) agrees very closely with 
Cramer’s figure, and doubtless belongs to the species there represented. 
5. Cieis posticauis, Guér. Voy. Cog. p. 286, t. 18. f. 5. 
Originally described from specimens taken at Port Praslin, New 
Ireland, during the voyage of the ‘Coquille.’ The single specimen 
sent by Mr. Brown (the antennz of which are gone) agrees accurately 
with the plate cited above. 
NYCTIMERID&. 
6. NycTrmera, sp.? 
A species allied to N. lacticinia (Cr. Pap. Ex. t. 128. f. E), 
which, however, is described as coming from the Coromandel coast. 
LIPpARID&. 
7. REDOA, sp. 
A specimen in poor condition, but belonging to this genus. _ 
OmMMATOPHORID. 
8. Nyctrpao, sp. ? 
A species allied to N. crepuscularis (Cr.) (Pap. Ex. t. 60. f. A), 
from Amboyna &c., but perhaps nearest WN. ephesphoris (Hiibn.). 
lt differs from all the species represented in the British Museum in 
the position of the transverse band of the secondaries. 
CYDIMONID4. 
9. NyYcTALZMON PATROCLUS, L. 
Papilio patroclus, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 749, ex Clerk, Icon. 
t. 8744. 15 Cr. Pap. Ex. t.,.198.f. A. 
The specimens sent by Mr. Brown (two males and one female) 
agree closely with the figures of Clerk and Cramer, and doubtless 
represent the true P. patroclus of Linnzeus. This species is at once 
distinguishable from its allies by the direction of the transverse band 
of the primaries, which, instead of running nearly parallel to the 
margin, starts from a little beyond the middle of the costa and 
crosses to the inner margin just within the anal angle. Cramer’s 
figure was taken from an Amboyna specimen. 
10. ALcIDES AURORA, sp.n. (Plate XXIII. figs. 5, 6.) 
3 Exp.3°85. Primaries pointed ; outer margin strongly curved, 
the anal angle falling well within the apical angle of the secondaries ; 
secondaries rounded, without median projections, dentate on the outer 
edge, each tooth being rounded and furnished with a prominent 
fringe ; primaries and basal half of secondaries deep greenish black ; 
the cell metallic green blending with a green band which crosses the 
primaries beyond the cell to the inner margin just inside the anal 
angle; base of the costa variegated with the same colour ; distal half
