152 Mr. A. G. Butler on 
24, Amblypodia minnetta, sp. n. 
g. Nearly allied to A. helius, from which it differs in its 
smaller size and the narrower black external border to its 
wings above, and below in the considerably smaller size of all 
the white-edged black-brown spots, none of which conse- 
quently are confluent, so that the discal bands consist of 
chain-like series of white-edged spots. Expanse of wings 
41 millim. 
Duke-of-York Island. 
There is a pair of what appears to be this species in the 
Hewitson collection, from New Guinea. ‘The specimens are 
arranged under A. helius. 
25. Hypolycena periphorbas, sp. n. 
g. Allied to H. phorbas and H.tmolus. Upper surface much 
like the same sex of the latter species, but the white patch on 
the primaries smaller, not bluish; the secondaries shorter, 
not so grey, with four well-defined whitish-edged blackish 
submarginal spots above the tails. Under surface brassy 
instead of pure white, excepting a patch on the primaries cor- 
responding with the white patch of the upper surface; the 
- short bars closing the discoidal cells and the discal band 
ochreous instead of pale stone-colour; the discal band widely 
interrupted in the centre on the primaries, and much more 
irregular on the secondaries; the ocelloid marginal band 
much more defined, the spots enclosed within it distinctly 
conical on the secondaries. Expanse of wings 36 millim. 
New Britain. 
26. Delias Salvini, sp. n. 
g. Near to D. bagot (=eurygania) ; but the primaries on 
both surfaces with a small curved oblique subapical white 
‘band in place of the large sulphur-yellow patch of D. bagoé ; 
the secondaries below with the crimson tapering submarginal 
band much more arched, so that its outer edge is almost 
parallel to the outer margm. Hxpanse of wings 65 millim. 
New Britain. 
27. Elodina primularis, sp. n. 
Sulphur-yellow ; primaries with dark bronze-brown costal 
and external borders formed as in Z. therasia (=bouruensis 2), 
but decidedly wider: secondaries with three squamose brown 
spots at the extremities of the second subcostal, radial, and 
third median branches; abdominal border white: body 
greenish grey. Primaries below sulphur-yellow, very bright
