and a conspicuous oblique snow-white streak on the first 
median interspace ; internal area bronze-brown, shading into 
greyish white towards the margin: secondaries pitchy brown, 
with diffused sandy-brown borders (widest at anal angle) ; a 
pale blue spot in the cell, and an arched series of seven blue 
spots beyond it; three decreasing subapical spots and five 
submarginal dots, all white ; two white dots at base; pectus 
black, spotted with white; venter olivaceous brown. ‘The 
female is larger and paler than the male, and (in addition to 
the usual sexual differences) may be distinguished by having 
a white spot near the end of the cell and two white dots 
beyond the cell on the upper surface of primaries; an angular 
discal series of six subapical white spots on the under surface 
of the same wings, as well as a very broad and long interno- 
median white patch: the secondaries only differ in the greater 
size of all the spots. LExpanse of wings, g 85 millim., 9

14, Dyctis holofernes, sp. n. 
Black-brown, shading into bronze-brown towards the ex- 
ternal borders and tinted with purple on the margin : primaries 
with an arched subapical series of four small white spots. 
Primaries below paler than above, dark rufous-brown with 
paler internal area; base of costal margin dotted with white ; 
a white spot close to the end of the cell, and an externo-discal 
series of six oval blue-edged white spots: secondaries dark 
piceous brown, spotted with white at the base ; a small green- 
ish-white spot in the cell; an arched almost submarginal 
series of seven blue-edged white spots; external border irre- 
gularly flecked with little grey dashes ; imner margin of eyes 
white: body dark brown. Expanse of wings 72 millim. 
Duke-of- York Island. 
The collection contained an example of Mipio Crameri 
from New Britain; of the single specimen previously recorded 
I was unable to give the locality. Both specimens are males ; 
and it now remains to be seen whether LH. amadilis is or is 
not the female of the same species. 
15. Neptis ampliata, sp. n. 
Allied to N. latifasctata, from which it differs in the greater 
size of the white spots of the primaries and the much greater 
width and more oval form of the central white belt of the 
secondaries ; the outer edge of this belt is strongly undulated.
