40 Mr. A. G. Butler on 
culta ?, of New Guinea, in pattern, though paler in colour, 
being of a rather dark pitch-brown, with greyish costal area 
and diffused slightly bronzy-brown submarginal belt a little 
paler than the ground-colour: body blacker than in C. me- 
lina. Under surface nearly as in that species, but darker, 
the spots as a rule decidedly larger, excepting that on the 
first median interspace of primaries, which is small and oval ; 
there is also no break in the arched postmedian series on 
these wings. Expanse of wings 94 millim. 
Solomon Islands. 
10. Crastia cerberus, sp. n. 
Rufous-brown, with a slight bronze reflection: wings paler 
towards the external margins ; male above with five scarcely 
visible whitish spots towards the outer margin of primaries : 
secondaries with greyish costal area; female with a whitish 
dot near the base of second median interspace, and an angu- 
lated series of seven rather larger spots towards outer margin 
of primaries: secondaries with pale costal area; three de- 
creasing subapical white spots. Under surface a little paler 
than the upper; primaries with a small spot at base of first 
subcostal interspace, another near the end of the cell, and a 
transverse series of four increasing spots beyond the cell lila- 
cine; an externo-discal angulated series of eight white spots 
and an imperfect series of submarginal white dots; all these 
spots are reduced to mere dots in the male; the female has 
an additional elongated interno-median white streak: secon- 
daries with a spot in the cell and an arched series of five to 
seven spots beyond it lilacine; three subapical spots and a 
submarginal series of dots (imperfect in the male) white; all 
these spots are larger in the female than in the male; two 
white basal dots: body spotted with white. Hxpanse of 
wings, ¢ 78 millim., 2 82 millim.

Seems to be more like a species standing in M. Oberthiir’s 
collection under the name of  Huplea L’ Orze, Boisd.,” than 
any thing else that I have seen; we have a female from New 
Ireland presented by Messrs. Salvin and Godman. 
C. cerberus may easily be confounded with the following, 
the pattern on both surfaces being very similar. 
11. Huplea illudens, sp. n. 
Smaller and much redder and darker in both sexes than 
Crastia cerberus, readily distinguished by having only four or 
five spots towards apex in the externo-discal series, and by
