others below and slightly beyond these, and a series of 5 very 

 small ones forming a bent row a short distance from and 

 parallel with apex. Hindwings with the basal and apical 

 area pale-brown, rest of wing pure white, with two quadrate 

 black patches near apex, upper one being the least. Under- 

 side of forewings as above with a whitish patch near hinder 

 angle. Hindwings all white with apical angle broadly 

 towards base dark-brown ; 2 brown patches near apex, of 

 which the upper is the largest ; a short line of brown close to 

 outer margin, not reaching anal angle or extending to ter- 

 mination of median, base of wing with a bluish tinge. Thorax 

 and abdomen above pale-brown, beneath light-grey. 



Cape York, Queensland. Allied to Japetus, Cr., which 

 it resembles somewhat on under-side. The sexes do not differ. 



Butler does not give the colour of hindwings above, nor 

 does he state the sex (it is probably a female). In some 

 specimens the two cellular marks are separate above, but 

 joined on under-side by a neck of whitish; this peculiarity 

 occurs irrespective of sex. Mr. Waterhouse has sent me 

 specimens of gamelia in which the 6* measures but 45 mm. 

 These were taken on Prince of Wales Island during June ; 

 the mainland specimens are slightly larger, ranging up to 

 50 mm.

9 • 2 in. Exp. Blackish-brown, palpi white beneath, 

 f rons with a white spot on each side ; forewings with two 

 large hyaline spots at end of cell, one outside its lower angle 

 and another close beneath it, all more or less triangular, 

 a subapical row of six small spots in the usual recurved line ; 

 hindwings with about one-half the lower portion white, the 

 white running up the abdominal margin to the base ; two 

 very large black spots in the middle of the disc, touching the 

 inner-side of the outer curve of the brown portion of the 

 wing; no marginal marks or spots; under-side with two 

 additional hyaline spots on the forewing near the hinder 

 angle ; hindwings with a somewhat narrow black costal bor- 

 der; the two discal spots much smaller and one minute black 

 mark on the outer border below the middle. Legs and body 

 white. (Swinhoe, A.M. N.H. (7), xx., p. 432, 1907.) 



Rossel Island ; also from Cape York. 



As will be seen by the above, louisa only differs from 

 gamelia by having 6 instead of 5 subapical spots. I very much
