1886.] RHOPALOCERA FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. 347 
ARGYRONYMPHA UGIENSIS, n. sp. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 3.) 
Male and female.— Upperside orange-red : primaries with a black 
marginal border extending on costa from end of cell to rather beyond 
middle of inner margin ; border very broad at apex, constricted and 
narrowest at second median nervule, widening out again at first 
median nervule : secondaries, costablackish brown, base and margins 
broadly clouded with dusky, and with some indistinct dusky markings 
across disk ; a black and rather indistinct submarginal line widening 
out between subcostal nervules into a linear-shaped blotch ; all the 
nervures dusky. Underside: primaries orange-red, not quite so 
bright as upperside ; a submarginal silvery stripe bordered outwardly 
by a narrow very dark fuscous line; a short oblique silver stripe 
extends from inner margin near hinder angle to halfway between 
first and second median nervules, and with its apex almost touching 
the submarginal stripe: secondaries, basal half greyish ochreous, 
thickly irrorated with minute black dots; an oblique reddish-brown 
stripe from near costa crosses the wing, and encloses upper part of 
cell and terminates near anal angle; this is bordered outwardly by a 
curved or double crescent-shaped silvery band, which is again 
bordered by a pale ochreous-yellow band ; a narrow submarginal line 
of silver bordered outwardly by reddish ochreous, and inwardly, from 
submedian nervure to discoidai nervule, by reddish brown ; between 
the discoidal nervule and first subcostal nervule there are four jet- 
black and somewhat square-shaped spots, with their bases resting on 
the submarginal line ; between first and second subcostal nervules 
are two additional black spots, above the others, the space between 
them, which is ochreous, forming a complete St. George’s Cross, and 
the whole inwardly bordered by a silvery band; between submedian 
nervure and two median nervules a silvery horseshoe-mark bordered 
outwardly and inwardly by reddish brown; all the wings margined 
by a line of dark reddish brown. The silvery markings have 
opalescent tints in various lights.

ARGYRONYMPHA PULCHRA, n. sp. (Plate XXXIV. fig. 4.) 
Male and female.—Upperside dark brown; basal third of fore 
wings reddish brown. Underside: primaries, basal portion, including 
cell and a little beyond on costa and inner margin, grey, thickly 
irrorated with minute black dots ; a silvery submarginal band from 
rather before apex on costa to hinder angle, where it forms an elbow 
and turns back and runs parallel to itself as far as third median 
nervule, this is bordered inwardly by dark chestnut ; a pale yellowish 
stripe from near apex to first median nervule, its lower half between 
the silver bands ; beyond this to grey part of wing a broad band of 
chestnut : secondaries, basal part, including half of cell to near anal 
angle, grey, thickly irrorated with minute black dots ; beyond this a 
band of chestnut from inner margin two thirds across wing towards 
anal angle ; this is bc rdered outwardly by an elbowed stripe of silver
