1888.] HETEROCERA FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. 571 



first collection. All the specimens are in my possession. Of fifty- 

 three species represented in the present collection, I have described 

 eighteen as new to science, two being not good enough for determi- 

 nation. 



fam. Sphingid^. 

 Subfam. Macroglossin^. 



1. Macroglossa fulvicaudata. 



Macroglossa fulvicaudata, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, 

 X. p. 155. 



The specimens are identical with those in my collection from the 

 New Hebrides and New Britain. 



Subfam. Springing. 



2. DlLTJDlA NEBULOSA. 



Diludia nebulosa, Butl. Trans. Zool. Soc. ix. p. 615. 

 The specimen agrees with the type in the National Collection from 

 Cape York. 



Fam. Agaristid^. 



3. EusEMiA STRiELLA, u. sp. (Plate XXIX. fig. 1.) 

 cJ and 5 ahke. 



Primaries black, with four pure white spots, the first close to the 

 base on the inner margin, the second small and square-shaped in the 

 middle of the cell, the third below near the inner margin, the fourth 

 larger, placed beyond the cell and nearer the apex ; secondaries black, 

 with a large central round white spot. The underside of all the 

 wings the same as above. The head, antennae, palpi, thorax, and 

 legs black ; the abdomen pale yellow. Expanse, S 2 inches, 5 2g 

 inches. 



Hab. Aola, Guadalcanar Island, Solomon Islands (0. M. Wood- 

 ford). 



This species is allied to Eusemia woodfordii, Butl., from Shortland 

 Island, but it is at once distinguished from that species in having 

 four white spots on the primaries instead of five. 



4. Ophthalmis lincea. 



Ophthalmis lincea. Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. p. 61, t. 228. f. B. 



The specimens are identical with those in my collection from 

 Amboyna. 



The species of this genus seem to vary to a considerable extent 

 in the size of the apical orange spot on the primaries. I have 

 specimens of O. lincea from New Guinea in which the orange apical 

 patch is almost gone, and others from the same place in which it is 

 of quite the normal form. 



Subfam. Euchromiin^. 



5. EUCHROMIA GANYMEDE. 



Euchromia ganymede, Doubl. Lort's Disc. App. t. 3 ; Butl. Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. xii. p. 365, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1888, p. 111. .
