ON NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN LEPIDOPTERA, 169 
irrorated white patch on the centre of the disc. Hindwing with the 
broad discal white band of the underside showing through but more 
or less irrorated with blue scales, the portion anterior to the first 
subcostal nervule pure white ; a rather short black white-tipped tail from 
the termination of the first median nervule not shown in Herr Rober’s 
figure. Unperstnn, both wings white. Forewing with a broad black 
costal band occupying the anterior half of the discoidal cell and 
extending along the outer margin where it is broadest posteriorly 
and bisected by a narrow white line, with another anteciliary thin 
white line, both these lines ending anteriorly at the lower discoidal 
nervule. Hindwing with a broad basal black band not reaching the 
costa, being sharply bounded by the costal nervure ; the posterior third 
of the wing also black, bearing in its middle a broad band of spots 
of beautiful metallic green divided only by the black veins, each of 
these spots is again centred by a round black spot ; a thin anteciliary 
white line cut by the veins. Cilia black throughout. FEMALE. 
UprersipE, loth wings black, the base irrorated with brilliant 
metallic green scales. Forewing with a broad discal white area 
reaching into the cell but well separated from the outer margin, and 
occupying the basal two-thirds of the inner margin; a submarginal 
thin metallic green line from the submedian nervure to the second 
median nervule. Aindwing with a broad discal white band, broadest 
in the middle, narrowest on the costa, its anterior edge straight, its 
posterior edge irregular in one specimen but regular in another ; 
a submarginal series of five metallic green lunules between the veins. 
Unpersipg, forewing as in the male, except that the outer black 
border is considerably broader. Aindwing as inthe male. Cilza 
white on the hindwing and at the anal angle of the forewing, 
anteriorly black. 
The type specimen described from Tual inthe Key Islands is a 
female, not a male as stated by Messrs. Druce and Bethune-Baker. 
Herr Réber’s specimen appears from its photographic representations 
to have been mended and to have lost its tails,as correctly pointed 
out: by the above-mentioned writers. 5
