new Species of Lepidoptera. 39 
daries with only six of the upper-surface spots beyond the cell 
smaller than above, but a large spot in the cell, and three 
(instead of one) white spots placed obliquely between the cell 
and the discal series; pectus white-spotted ; venter grey- 
spotted. Expanse of wings 96 millim. 
Thursday Island, south of New Guinea. 
8. Salpinx perdita, sp. n. 
Nearest to S. pasithea of Felder and S. nemertes of Hiib- 
ner *, but decidedly smaller, all the pale spots on primaries 
smaller, sometimes wholly wanting in the female; the discal 
series of white spots (when present) six in number; the 
interno-median lilac spot of the male sharply defined, small 
and oval: secondaries of the male with the pale discoidal 
patch of a more sandy-brown colour than in S. nemertes: 
secondaries of the female with three subapical decreasing 
white spots, as in that species. On the underside the diffe- 
rences are much more marked; primaries of male with no 
blue dashes beyond the cell, the subcostal spot smaller, the 
spot on first median interspace smaller and rounder; the 
discal series of seven white spots nearer to outer margin; the 
marginal white spots wholly absent: secondaries with the 
angulated disco-submarginal series of spots white in both 
sexes, but blue-edged in the male. Expanse of wings, d 
80 millim., ¢ 86 millim. 
Duke-of- York Island. 
Messrs. Salvin and Godman have also received examples 
from New Britain, and kindly presented a pair to the Museum 
collection. 
9. Crastia honesta, sp. n. 
@?. Allied to C. melina, rather larger and slightly more 
smoky in colour, especially on the secondariés ; the primaries 
showing all the lilacine-white spots and the double interno- 
median lilacine-white streak of the under surface, 7. e. a broad 
crescent-shaped lilacine spot near the end of the cell, a semi- 
circular series of six unequal spots beyond the cell, the fourth 
elongated into a narrow dash, and the interno-median streak 
(10 millim. in length) before mentioned; the sughtly paler 
arched submarginal belt is nearly as well defined as in C. 
Batesii: secondaries with two indistinct rosy-whitish dashes 
placed obliquely above the two subcostal branches, and a 
barely perceptible pale brown spot near the end of the cell; 
in other respects the secondaries are much like those of C. oc- 
* These are mere local races of one species at most.
