fering in its more rounded primaries, the bright purple-shot colouring 

 of the wings, the large white patch on the secondaries, the form of the 

 single white spot of the primaries, with other slighter differences.

There are three pairs of this species in the collection. The males 

 (as usual in this genus) have the anterior wings more produced at 

 apex than the females ; the white belt on these wings also varies 

 considerably in form and width. 



Hypsa leuconeura, n. sp. 



Allied to H. doryca of Boisduval. Anterior wings greyish brown, 

 sericeous, with all the veins white ; a nearly circular white spot in 

 the centre, cut by the median vein and its second and third branches ; 

 base ochraceous upon the veins, a bright ochreous basal spot con- 

 nected with a blacii spot, beyond which is an angulated series of 

 transverse black spots : secondaries white, with a broad, internally 

 bisinuated, blackish outer border,, confluent with a much narrower 

 blackish abdominal border: body ochreous, the back of head, the 

 collar, and tegulse distinctly orange ; palpi, antennae, a small spot 

 on each shoulder, and a series of triangular spots down the centre of 

 the abdomen black. Wings below dull blackish or smoky brown, 

 the primaries with a central white spot and a cream-coloured spot 

 at the base ; secondaries with a very broad white patch from the 

 internal nervure to the first subcostal branch : body below ochreous ; 

 legs, with the exception of the coxae, blackish ; venter with a row 

 of five blackish spots on each side. Expanse of wing 2 inches 2 to 

 4 lines. 



Two males and a female. 



In the earlier collection of Lepidoptera from Duke-of-York Island 

 there was a single much rubbed and dwarfed example of this species 

 (noted in P. Z. S. 1877, p. 149, as allied to H. intacta). Two of the 

 examples in the series now sent are in very fair condition, proving 

 the species to be most nearly allied to H. doryca, but darker in 

 coloration, with white veins and a rounded instead of a comet-like 

 spot on the fore wings, and with no black spots on the prothorax. 



Damalis alciphron, Cramer, Pap. Exot. ii. pi. 133. fig. E. 



A single strongly marked female of this widely distributed species, 

 which, since the publication of my revision of the Hypsinse, we have 

 received from the Andamans and New Guinea.
