114 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON NEW AND LITTLE- KXOWN [June 3, 



black-bordered, and by the anal i-egion of the hind wing being 

 strongly suffused with black. 



On the underside, the ground-colour is darker and yellower 

 and the bands are more distinct. The two submai-ginal row^s of 

 black spots on each wing are larger and blacker. 



2 . TJpperside uniform dark brown, Avith the markings of the 

 underside showing through, slightly whitish in the centre of the 

 disc of the fore wing, and with two or three dull black spots at 

 the anal angle of the hind wing, outwardly margined by a fine 

 white line. When held at an angle, the disc of the fore wing 

 appears slightly suffused with bi-ight blue scales from the base. 

 Underside as in male. 



Abdomen brown above ; yellowish below. Legs and antennfe 

 spotted with white. 



Expanse, c? 11 j 2 Iju" ii^ch.

This appeal's to be the insect figured by Herr Semper (Reise 

 Philipp. Inseln, p. 177, pi. xxxiii. figs. 1, 2) as N. cizureus Rober, 

 but a I'eference to Herr Rober's figure shows an insect with a 

 linear black margin only. 



Una purpurea, sp. n. (Plate XI. fig. 3.) 



J . Upperside dull blackish purple, with the outer margins of 

 both wings narrowly and indistinctly black, broadest towards 

 anal angle of hind wings. Underside : fore wing dull greyish 

 brown, yellowish along the costal area ; a whitish blotch beyond 

 and closing the end of the cell, followed by another about half- 

 way between it and the outer margin. 



Hind wing : basal half pale straw-colour, without markings ; 

 outer half russet-brown, with a submarginal row of 4 or 5 dull 

 indistinct blackish spots between the nervules, the largest being 

 between the lower medians — these spots being surmounted l^y 

 dull straw-colour spaces. 



The margins of both wings are very narrowly yellowish between 

 the nervules, and the fringes are dark brown. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen blackish above, yellowish below. 

 Antennae spotted with white. 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Hab. Lifu I., Loyalty Is. {Mus. Druce). 



This species, which is tailless, appears to agree exactly in 

 venation with Una itsta Distant, and like that insect has rather 

 long antennfe and the long hair-like scales about the anal angle 

 of hind wing — this last character, however, is not so marked as 

 in U. itsta. The eyes are hairy as in that species. Prosotas ^ is 

 probably a closely-allied genus, but the antennfe are much shortei'.
