of the secondaries white, washed with metallic green except the 
cilia, and with a pink patch spread over the middle of the median 
branches : beneath white, washed with pale metallic green, apical 
angle, a band crossing the primaries, and an irregular band following 
the curve of the outer margin of the secondaries greenish black ; 
cilia white ; antennze black ; body greenish black above; abdomen 
beneath orange. 
Though abundantly distinct both in form and colour, the pink 
colour on the secondaries of this species suggests a resemblance to the 
insect described by Hopffer as Nyctalemon metaurus (Neue oder 
weniger bek. Schmett. d. k. zool. Mus. z. Berlin, Heft ii. p. 2, 
t. 11. f. 3, 4), from the South Seas. We know of no other species 
with which it can be at all compared.

(Plates XXIV. & XXV.) 
The Coleoptera collected by the Rev. Mr. Brown comprise 
44 species, all in single or very few specimens, except one large 
and beautiful Longicorn, a new Batocera, of which there is a 
great number of specimens, mostly in a much damaged condition. 
It is evident at a first glance of the contents of the jar, in which 
were a quantity of large Orthoptera (Lurycantha horrida and 
numerous Locustide), Spiders, aud even a Bat, that the collection 
was hastily made, and ean give no adequate idea of the extent of the
