326 New Forms of Butterflies from Dutch New Guinea 



nearly to the dark outer border ; a subanal line from just above end of 

 first submedian to beyond vein 3, broken at vein 2 ; veins 5 and 6 

 scaled with white to near distal border. Apical golden spots as above. 

 Distal margin black in cellules 4, 5 and 6, bearing in 5 some bluish- 

 green scales, in 4 a similarly-coloured spot, and in 3 a similar and 

 smaller spot nearer the margin. The marginal area of lc and 2 with 

 two large golden patches divided by vein 2, bearing each a black spot 

 at their proximal ends and with a black line at distal end, broken in 

 the lower patch. Inner margin edged with a white line from the sub- 

 median line to end of second submedian (lb) where it is joined to a 

 thicker white line which forms a cup-shaped extension of the ground- 

 colour with a spot at the inner end on vein lb ; this latter line is con- 

 tinued indistinctly along the distal border from vein 2 to the costa, 

 being curved outwards in 3 and again on 7. A submarginal white line 

 from vein 7 to vein 4, parallel to the margin ; a greyish-green sub- 

 marginal line from 4 to 3 where it joins the edge of the golden patch. 

 ? . Similar to the 8 . Upperside of fore wing with pale area 

 extended beyond cell and to vein 4, the part above vein 4 and in end 

 of cell being grey-green, also the edge from middle of cellule 2 to the 

 margin. Hind wing with a black distal spot in 3 and sometimes a 

 smaller one in 4. 



Underside as in the <? , stripes a little broader. 



Length of fore wing : $ , 27 mm. ; ? , 31 mm. 



Menoo Kiver, 3,500 to 5,000 feet, November to January, six $ $ , 

 three 2 5 ; Mount Kunupi, 6,000 feet, November and December, two 2 ? . 

 Rare at 6,000 feet. Also one $ from Owgarra, British New Guinea 

 (A. S. Meek). 



AMATHUSIIDAE. 



2. Morphopsis phippsi sp. nov. 



Distinct from any known species of the genus, and remarkable for 

 the markings of the ? being white. 



S • Upperside of fore wing chestnut-brown in the basal half 

 merging into the black-brown of the distal half. A postdiscal irregular 

 band of ochraceous-orange (xv) from costa to tornus ; the costal spot 

 lying near the base of cellule 6 and divided by vein 10 ; the next spot 

 more distal in 5 ; the next much longer distally in 4, its upper two- 

 thirds incurved, with a small pale yellow-orange spot at its upper outer 

 corner ; next in 3 and narrow, its outer edge almost level with spot 

 in 4, its inner edge incurved ; spot in 2 narrower, constricted at the
