2 • Expanse 4 inches. Outer third of both wings dark blackish 

 brown, basal portion reddish brown ; a subtriangular large white 

 patch on primaries beyond the cell, its base on the costa, its apex 

 nearly reaching the inner margin ; a black spot at the end of the 

 cell ; between the white patch aud the apex are four white spots, 

 placed transversely in an irregular line, and below them, on either 

 side of the lower radial, two irregular bluish spots. Beneath reddish 

 brown ; a straight band crosses the secondaries near the middle and 

 passes into the primaries, on the inner side margined with white ; and 

 outside it (running parallel) is a dark brown band ; the white spots 

 show as on the upperside of the primaries ; and on the secondaries 

 are two ocelli — one between the first and second median branches, 

 the other between the middle and upper radials. 



Mainland of New Guinea (Dr. Comrie). 



The sexes in the members of this genus do not differ to a great 

 extent ; so that we may expect the male of this species to be some- 

 what similar to the female specimen now described. There is no 

 described member of the genus which the present species is at all 

 like. This, we trust, will be sufficiently apparent from the figure 

 on the Plate accompanying this paper. There is only a single spe- 

 cimen in Dr. Comrie' s collection.
