spots extending from the inner series of whitish spots beyond 
the internal margin of the external area. Pectus black, spotted 
with white; venter testaceous, with a central white stripe. 
Expanse of wings 82 millim. : 
Viti. 
Most like D. albata, but very distinct in pattern from any- 
thing hitherto described. 
2. Dunais sobrinoides, sp. n. 
Danais sobrina, Salvin & Godman, P. Z.8. 1877, p. 141. 
Differs from D. sobrina in the larger size and paler green 
tint of all the spots, in the absence of the basidiscoidal streak 
‘ on the primaries, and the dusky character of the costal mark- 
ings of the secondaries. HExpanse of wings, d 80 millim., 
9 74 millim. 
New Britain. 
3. Salatura decipiens, sp. n. 
3. Nearly allied to S. mytilene of Felder from New Guinea, 
the primaries differing only in the absence of any spots on the 
costal border, and in the presence of a rather broad interno- 
median ferruginous streak ; the secondaries, however, are con- 
siderably more like S. fulgurata, but differ in the smaller white 
discoidal patch and in having two imperfect submarginal series 
of white dots. Expanse of wings 83 millim. 
Solomon Islands. ; 
4, Salatura biseriata, sp. n. 
Allied to S. mytilene, but smaller and rather greyer in tint ; 
the white spots beyond the cell of primaries absent in the 
male; all the wings with two imperfect submarginal series 
of white spots, better defined in the female than in the male; 
the inner series of the secondaries decidedly larger than the 
others: the white spots on the under surface of secondaries 
towards the middle five in number. Expanse of wings 
77 millim. 
Duke-of-Y ork Island. 
5. Salpine biformis, sp. n. 
Allied to S. Trettschkit, but decidedly bluer and darker in 
both sexes; the male with more oblique outer margin, the spots 
on the primaries smaller, the fusiform interno-median spot of 
the male single and shorter; the spots on the primaries of the 
female less distinct, and placed upon pale bluish squamose 
streaks ; those of the secondaries, however, sharply defined.
