ally simple or three-branched; 1 small, simple; 
2 small, simple or two-branched; 4 small, simple 
or two-branched. 
Segment VIII : A medium, stout, simple; a' 
small, simple or rarely two-branched. 
Segment IX: v small, stout, simple. 
Paddle: Rounded, length slightly exceeding 
greatest width; margin finely serrate laterally, 
more coarsely serrate medially; apex notched at 
end of midrib; midrib strong, almost reaching 
apex, dividing paddle unequally, the lateral face 
approximately two-thirds the width of the me- 
dial face; without pigment; terminal seta very 
small, simple; accessory seta medium, stout, 
simple. 
Specimens examined. — The pupal exuviae 
of nine males and twelve females from Gama- 
dodo and Hilimoi, Milne Bay, Papua, and 
Draeger Harbor, Northeast New Guinea. 
Uranotaenia ( Pseudoficalbia ) quadrimacu- 
lata Paine and Edwards 1929 
Pupa described diagnostically without figures 
by Paine and Edwards (1929: 313) from Gua- 
dalcanal, Solomon Islands. Since we have no 
New Guinean specimens in our collections the 
following descriptive notes have been taken en- 
tirely from the above paper. 
Diagnosis. — With the typical characters of 
the subgenus. Very close to U. nigenima, but 
apparently separable from it in having seta 1 on 
segment II simple. 
CEPHALOTHORAX. — Dorsal: 8 three- to four- 
branched, placed behind trumpet. 
Trumpet: Short, only about twice as long as its 
greatest breadth; on the middle of inner mar- 
gin is a small, semicircular emargination. 
Abdomen. — Segment II: 1 and 2 strong, 
simple, placed close together near lateral margin. 
Segments 11I-VII: "Each with short stiff bristle 
laterally, somewhat behind the posterior corner, 
and a simple sublateral bristle, about two-thirds 
as long as the segment on posterior margin; re- 
maining bristles on segment minute and incon- 
spicuous, except that segment VII has additional 
simple bristle at posterior corner.” 
Segment VIII: A simple or bifid. 
Paddle: "With the part within midrib much 
longer than the outer part, also more extended 
apically, where it is provided with a loose fringe 
of spinules; on outer part of paddle the spiny 
fringe is much shorter and closer.” Terminal 
seta small, simple; accessory seta longer, simple.
