1891.] LYCiENlD^ OF THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. 371 



There is a specimen ( J ) in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's col- 

 lection which is much like A. eurisus on the underside, but on the 

 upperside is of a darker purple and all the margins appear broadly 

 black. It is from Malaita I., but unfortunately so much broken that 

 I do not think it advisable to name it. A male and female from Aola 

 are figured. 



Deudoryx, Hew. 



Deudoryx woodfordi, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. figs. 13 c^ 

 14$.) 



Allied to D. diovis, Hew. 



Male. Differs in its larger size, and being rich cupreous in place 

 of dark orange on upperside, and on the underside by being dark 

 greyish brown, by the ultra-median band on fore wing being placed 

 at a greater angle to the outer margin, and by the marginal spot on 

 the hind wing between the lower median nervules being larger and 

 bordered inwardly with orange, not encircled as in I), diovis. The 

 front of the head, which in I), diovis is bright yellow, white. 



Female. Upperside : dull greenish black (not brown as in D. 

 epijarbas, Moore), darker in the cell and along costal margin of fore 

 wing. Lobe dark orange, with a black spot on its outer extremity. 

 Underside as in male, but paler. 



Head and thorax of male black ; anal half of abdomen cupreous as 

 wings ; basal half black. Head, thorax, and abdomen of female 

 concolorous with wings. 



Tail black, tipped with white. 



Expanse, l-f^ ( d ) to I j^y inch ( ? ). 



Aola, Guadalcanar I. 



Mr. Woodford's collection contained a number of specimens of 

 this species which do not show any variation. 



Deudoryx viridens, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 15.) 



Male. Upperside intermediate in colour between D. diovis and 

 D. woodfordi. Underside pale as in B. diovis, but strongly dusted 

 over both wings with hght green scales. The spot at the end of the 

 cell large and distinct and much darker than any other marking 

 on either wing, and the band beyond bent in its middle towards the 

 outer margin. The black spot near the margin between the lower 

 median nervules on hind wing smaller than in D. woodfordi and 

 bordered inwardly with silvery blue, outwardly with faint orange. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen blackish brown. 



Expanse If inch. 



Aola, Guadalcanar I. 



This insect can be readily distinguished from its allies by the 

 green appearance of the underside. 



The black spot in the lobe in this species and in D. luoodfordi is 

 always on the lower edge, in D. epijarbas and D. diovis it is always 

 in the centre. 



I have not seen the female.
