Male specimens now sent by Mr. Brown have the blue of the upper surface distributed just as in S. excellens (Butler), which makes it doubtful that the latter species is really distinct. There are two other species of Lyccenidce in the collection which we are not yet able to determine ; few of the specimens sent by Mr. Brown belonging to this family are in a sufficiently perfect state to render their determination satisfactory. 33. *TERIAS XANTHOMEL^ENA, n. sp. Terias, sp. ? Salv. et Godm. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 146. New Ireland. cf. Exp. 2 in. Allied to T. Candida of Cramer ; the yellow of the upper surface is of a paler sulphur-colour; the black border on the outer margin is narrower; on the costa of the primaries and abdominal margin of the secondaries it is broader. In the female the basal third of the primaries and the base and abdominal half of the secondaries, as well as the outer margin of both wings, are smoky brown. Obs. Additional specimens of both sexes of this Terias sent by Mr. Brown confirm the differences between it and T. Candida, to which we drew attention in our former paper. 34. TERIAS HEBRIDINA, Butl.
