the well-defined sericeous brand (8 millim. in length) on the 
middle of the interno-median area of the male: below, the 
externo-discal series consists of six spots instead of eight (as 
in C. cerberus), and there is no submarginal series of white 
dots on the primaries ; the secondaries differ in having not 
more than five apical submarginal dots instead of twelve; in 
other respects the pattern agrees; the outer margin of the 
primaries, however, is distinctly less convex. LHxpanse of 
wings, ¢ 79 millim., 9 74 millim. 
2, Duke-of-York Island. 
The male, from New Ireland, was presented by Messrs. 
Salvin and Godman; I have found it necessary to include it 
in the above description. 
E,. illudens belongs to the same group as E. Hiibnert. 
12. Huplea decipiens, sp. n. 
Allied to the preceding species, but the primaries of the 
male much narrower and more produced at apex, with a deci- 
dedly longer sericeous brand (10 miillim. in length), its outer 
extremity much more nearly approaching the outer margin ; 
externo-discal spots of primaries very small, lilacine, four in 
number, subapical, almost wholly obliterated in the male; 
submarginal white dots on the under surface of the seconda- 
ries wanting in the male. LExpanse of wings, g 70 millim.,

Duke-of-York Island. 
Though this species has almost the same pattern and colo- 
ration as the preceding, it differs considerably in the shape of 
the male primaries, the apical area being more contracted than 
in any species known to me; the form and position of the 
sericeous brand, as well as the shape of its wings, would 
locate it nearer to L. Paykullii and EF. torvina than to the EZ. 
Hiibnert group, to which its pattern allies it. 
13. Huplea fraudulenta, sp. n. 
Allied to E. zonata from Borneo. Male of the same colours 
above, but with the sericeous brand upon the primaries very 
large and extending almost to the external angle, as in ZH. 
torvina of the New Hebrides, with a less prominent oblique 
and somewhat sericeous streak above the ordinary one in the 
centre of the first median interspace, and answering to one of 
the white markings of the under surface, and with no pale 
marginal spots on the secondaries. Primaries below rich 
pitchy brown, with a slightly paler diffused arched submar- 
ginal band; a triangular bluish-white spot close to the end of 
the cell, two smaller spots of the same colour beyond the cell,
