strong. The same points, excepting size, distinguish it from aglaia 

 Koths. and Jord. (Nov. Zool., xii, p. 468). 



A. specimen which is almost certainly the $ is rather larger 

 (59 mm.), the blue and red proximal patches of fore wing merged into 

 a large and uniform red patch, the band almost uniform orange-red, 

 that of hind wing broader (and broadest in posterior half), less bent. 



21. Milionia diva Eoths. constans subsp. nov. 

 3 . 



Similar to form b of the name-typical race — fore wing with a large 

 red triangular area. This area is, however, in general broader, its 

 extension from SM 2 to hindmargin 4 — 5 mm. in width ; the black 

 patch at base and hindmargin is, after the basal 3 mm., bordered 

 anteriorly by SM 2 , whereas in diva diva it crosses that vein at its 

 distal end or very near thereto. 



Mount Kunupi, Menoo Valley, Weyland Mountains, 6,000 feet, 

 December, 1920, to January, 1921, type and six paratypes ; also 

 one $ from Menoo Kiver, 3,500 to 5,000 feet, November-December, 

 1920. 



One of the Mount Kunupi series is an ab., with the red reduced, 

 and might be mistaken for a British New Guinea specimen, but this 

 clearly does not affect the validity of the race. 



22. Milionia carycina sp. nov. (pi. XXIII, fig. 10). 

 $ ? , 42—47 mm. 



Eye hairy. Antennal ciliation of cT very short. Head and body 

 black-brown, more or less mixed with metallic blue, especially on face, 

 patagia and tegulae. Hind tibia of $ dilated, with hair-pencil. 



Fore wing brighter red than in rubra Joicey and Talb. (Ann. Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. [8], xv, p. 296, t. 12, fig. 2), proximally almost blood-red, 

 distally more tinged with vermilion, sometimes (but perhaps not in 

 perfectly fresh specimens) mixed with orange ; base narrowly black ; 

 hind marginal area generally black proximally, to a variable extent, 

 but oftenest quite narrowly, almost always tapering off gradually, 

 whereas in the very similar diva constans it nearly always falls away 

 steeply from SM 2 to hindmargin ; a black apical border, at costal 

 margin about 9 — 10 mm. broad, its proximal edge very gently curved 

 and running obliquely outward so as to reach hindmargin about
