GRETA. By W. Warren. 
fringe is pink. Face, palpi, chest, and fore legs bright red; vertex yellow, shoulders and patagia whitish. 
Abdominal dorsum yellow with a red-brown belt which continues the outer lines of the wings. A <$ from Milne 
Bay .in Brit. New Guinea, allied to unilinea Warr. from Roon I. and to. singapura Swh. 
singapura. 0. singapura Swh. Fawn-coloured; head, chest, and forewing purple, here and there finely strewn 
with brown, not striated as in most of the other species of this genus. An accumulation of small, pure white, 
raised scales at the cell-end of the forewing; a straight line right through all the wings, on the forewing outside 
indistinctly marked with white; at the inner margin of the forewing near the anal angle a black spot with a 
few white scales thereon. Under surface more or less suffused with reddish and feebly streaked with brown. 
Described from a single $ from Singapore. 
perobliqui- 0. perobliquilinea sp. 7iov. Forewing dull olive-reddish with rows of small dark internerval dots; 
Jinea. a yellowish line oblicpiely from the apex of the forewing to % of the inner margin, traversing the hindwing 
near the base; 2 fine, small, silvery white dots at the cross-vein; fringes orange with brown tips. 1 $ from 
Singapore in the Malay Peninsula. Type in the British Museum. 
mbrifinna- 0. rubrifumata sp. 7iov. (50 k).. Fore wing fawn-coloured above the cellular fold; subcostal area greyish 
ia - lilac, somewhat glossy, shaded with black. Apical and marginal areas fawn-coloured grey; the rest of the wing 
brownish-black with a reddish tint, the basal area being the blackest. No distinct lines; they are merely 
indicated by the difference of the colours; at the cell-end a whitish dot. In the hindwing the basal half is deep 
flesh-coloured; at the anal margin near the base a dark shadow; the whole distal half is black. Forewing 
beneath in the costal half olive fawn-coloured, which turns flesh-coloured red below, and at the anal angle 
blackish. On the hindwing the basal half is bright red the rest black with darker streaks; fringes deep red. 
Face, legs, and anal half of abdomen bright red; vertex brown; patagia and basal rings of abdominal dorsum 
blackish; tegulae flesh-coloured grey. Expanse: 34 mm; a $ from Tulagi. Salomons Is. (Woodford). 
jaspiden. 0. jaspidea Warr. (G = erminea Warr.) (50 e). Forewing dull dingy red, basal and marginal areas 
mixed with a lighter yellowish. Inner line at % broken on the subcostal and bent inwards, basal area intermixed 
with ochreous and reticrdated dark, towards the costal margin pink, outer line at % towards the apex sharply 
angled distad. then obliquely to the inner margin, dark violet bordered with small whitish scales; discocellular 
mark angular, red with a few small light lustrous scales, distal margin below the apex marked with black; hindwing 
redder. Cross-vein marked with small glossy white scales, behind it a deeper red broken mark; disc and anal 
margin spotted whitish, and the apical and marginal areas between the veins black. Fringes of both wings 
deep red. Under surface yelloAv, striated with dark brown; anal angle of forewing darkened: oblique line of 
fore wing reddish dark brown; face, palpi, and fore legs deep red. Abdomen the same; thorax yellowish. Described 
from a single $ from Cedar Bay, Queensland. In another $ from North Queensland the red tints are replaced 
by violettish-brown. Two other $$ from Goodenough I. and 2 from New Guinea. Of these 1 $ each corresponds 
with the lighter yellow typical form, the other with the dark red-brown form; in both couples the edge of the 
basal spot, the preapical streak, the distal edge of the central line in the hindwing and the anal margin are 
intensely powdered and spotted with white scales. — The (= erminea Warr.) shows the forewing dull dark 
brown with still darker transverse striae; basal area flesh-coloured ochreous, speckled with small grey and 
silvery scales, edged with a dark brown line or a shadow from the costal margin at its first third; from y 3 of 
the inner margin an indistinct dark line runs straight and oblique to the apex, most acutely angled on 
vein 6 and bent back to a brown streak at % of the costal margin; excepting these two brown streaks, the 
costa is throughout light; marginal area considerably lighter with transverse dingy spots; on the cross-vein 
2 silvery grey dots. Hindwing unicoloured brown with a curved deeper brown postcellular band; across the 
wings few small silvery scales are scattered. Under surface of forewing dull red, speckled with blackish, and 
towards the margin suffused with blackish; distal line traceable; hindwing beneath bright red. along the costal 
and distal margins spotted black. Face, vertex, palpi, legs, and abdomen beneath of a glaring red; shoulders 
almost white; thorax grey; abdominal dorsum like hindwing. Type of erminea from St. Aignan; also obtained 
rubicunda. from the Ivey Is., Salomons. New Guinea, and Queensland. - rubicunda Warr. (50 e) is a form of the from 
the Salomons, in which the costa of the fore wing is filled with brown between the lines; the two lines them- 
hepatica. .selves are very strongly marked, and the hindwing beneath shows a brighter red. — In liepatica subsp. novi 
( 50 f), from New Guinea, the are deep violet liver-brown or dark brownish-grey, the costal area between 
the lines black; they are larger than the usual specimens occurring also in New Guinea and may correspond 
nigrostigma. to the large red-brown form of the — ab. nigrostigma ab. nov. (50 e, f), finally, differs from typical jaspidea -$ 
and emiinea-<$ in the hindwing exhibiting a large black spot from which a curved black line at the cell-end 
proceeds. Of this form there are 4 and 2 $.$ in the Thing Museum from New Guinea. 
subvinosa. 0. subvinosa Warr. (50 f). Forewing light yellow; inner line badly marked, very strongly excurved 
from '-/ 5 of the costal margin to y 3 of the inner margin, almost touching the 2 white dots of the cross-vein: 
outer line deep brown, from a dark costal spot straight to the centre of the inner margin, on vein 6 united 
with a short.
