NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 5 



Setuper, to whom I dedicate the species, but I do not erect it as "nom. nov." 

 Similarly (though unaccountably, as he had access to Felder's type) Mr. Warren 

 has labelled the Samar example eucnemis Feld. Semper had before him a very 

 long series from Camignin, N. of Mindanao, and inclined to regard it as the 

 southern representative of the northern and western palawanica, which be had 

 from Luzon, Mindoro, Ylin, Camotes and Palawan ; but the range seems to 

 overlap, and the structural differences are too marked. 



12. Celerena mitis evitans snbsp. nov. 



Differs from name-typical mitis Warr. in that the yellow ground-colour 

 encroaches into the black along hindmargin almost to tornus, the black band 

 meeting the black border along SM 2 ; m'mitis mitis black proximal clouding from 

 the band runs to the hindmargin well before tornus. In the 8 the distinction is 

 often less striking than in the ?, as some black shading shows faintly through 

 from the underside ; but in both sexes the character is racially constant. On an 

 average larger and more deeply coloured than the name-type. 



Solomon Islands, distributed from Bougainville to Guadalcanal Type from 

 Kulambangra, March 1, 1901 (A. S. Meek), in coll. Tring Mus. 



Celerena mitis was founded on a single example from Sudest Island, from 

 which locality it remains unique ; and is rather unusually pale, with narrow 

 borders. But it does not at present seem necessary to separate from it the form 

 which occurs on Woodlark and St. Aignan, and which has been taken into account 

 in the above comparisons. 



13. Celerena perithea keiensis subsp. nov. 



Larger than perithea perithea Cram. (= connexa Walk., stenospila Warr.), 

 more brightly and deeply coloured, the yellow postdiscal band of forewing in both 

 sexes broad (about 7 mm.), its distal edge posteriorly somewhat crennlate, the 

 yellow proximal patch freer from dark dusting, usually also projecting along 

 hindmargin — sometimes almost to tornus. 



Kei Islands. Type from Great Kei (H. Kühn) in coll. Tring Mns. 



14. Celerena probola sp. nov. 



c?, 61 mm. ; ?, 56-58 mm. Similar to prodroma Meyr. (= remutata Prout), 

 but belonging to the structure-group of pallidicolor Warr. and exacta Warr., the 

 sexual clothing of the <$ antenna developed, commencing rather near the base (but 

 with a rather prominent tuft at about one-third, almost recalling that of lerne Bsd. 

 or cana Warr.), the hindtarsus of 3 with the second joint over twice as long as the 

 unthickened extremity of first joint ; tibial and tarsal processes fuscous. 



Forewing with the black median band slightly more curved basewards at 

 costa than in prodroma (at least the proximal edge), posteriorly not abbreviated, 

 joining the narrow border along SM 2 . — -Hindwing with the black border narrow, 

 about one-half the width of that of normal prodroma. 



Forewing beneath with the black baud not thickened ; hindwing beneath with 

 the black border not continued along the distal part of costa. 



Humboldt Bay, New Guinea, September— October 1892 (W. Doherty). Type 

 <3 and 2 ? ? in coll. Tring Mns.
