158 MESSRS. GODMAN AND SALVIN ON BUTTERFLIES [Feb. 18, 



These differ from the male in having the wings above dark brown 

 instead of bluish black ; the lighter blue bands of the upper surface 

 are wanting; beneath, the irregular light band which crosses the 

 secondaries in the male is also absent.

23. Cyrestis ad^mon, sp. n. (Plate XV. fig. 2.) 



cJ Exp. 2'5 in. Allied to C. meenalis (Erichs. Nova Acta Ac. 

 Nat. Cur. xvi. Suppl. p. 402, t. 50. f. 3), but differs in having the 

 common white transverse band of both wings more clearly defined 

 and the central dark line included within it almost obsolete ; the 

 transverse white bands near the base of the wings are much less clearly 

 defined, as are also the white markings in the broad dark margin of 

 the primaries.

New Ireland. 



Several examples sent by Mr. Brown in this collection are doubtless 

 referable to this species, differing in no respect from Amboyna 

 examples. It does not, therefore, bear out our anticipation of its 

 being a new species.

28. Amblypodia, sp. ? 



We have received only one specimen of this Amblypodia, which 

 seems closely allied to A. araxes (Feld. Voy. Nov. Lep. ii. p. 224, 

 t. 29. f. 3-5).
