 Also in my collection from New Caledonia. 



2. Macroglossa, sp. 



One specimen, in poor condition, not quite the same as any known 

 to me ; but without more material I think it better not to name it. 



3. Ch^rocampa celerio.

Mr. Woodford has brought a fine series of this species from Suva, 

 which shows that all the forms that have been described as distinct 

 species are in reality one. The specimens in my own collection are from 

 the following localities : — North Austraha ; Loyalty Islands ; Suva, 

 Viti Levu ; New Hebrides ; Timor ; and x'Vndaman Islands. I do 

 not see any characters whereby to separnte them : the largest specimen 

 is that from the New Hebrides with the widest dark margin to the 

 secondaries ; but every intermediate form to those from Nortii Aus- 

 tralia witb the very narrow border to the secondaries is represented : 

 the colour of primaries varies very much, a specimen taken by Mr. 

 Woodford is almost green. 



f). Protoparce convolvuli, var. distans. 



Protoparce convolvuli, var. distans, Butl. Lep. New Zealand in 

 Voy. 'Erebus' and ' Terror,' p. 30, t. 9. f. 11. 



Also in my collection from New Guinea, New Hebrides, New 

 Caledonia, and Western Australia ; this species is always much smaller 

 and darker in colour than the typical P. convolvuli. 



Fam. Chalcosiid^. 

 6. Heteropan dolens, n. sp. (Plate XIII. fig. 1.) 

 Primaries uniform slate-colour, secondaries dull glossy blue except 

 along the costal and outer margins, which are brownish slate-colour. 

 Underside of all the wings pale slate-colour, the costal margin of 

 the secondaries shaded with blue. The upperside of the head, 

 thorax, and abdomen dull black ; the underside of the head, thorax, 

 abdomen, and legs brownish bronze-colour. Expanse | inch. 



A pretty little species, not nearly allied to any known to me, but 

 to some extent resembling Chalcoxia appendicula'ta, Snell.
