 Duke of York-Island (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1877, pag. 150) unter den 

 Hypsiden an Cleis posticalis Guer. von Port Praslin. 



Im gleichen Jahre erwähnt Moore in seinen Lepid. of Ändam. and 

 Nicob, (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1877, pag. 599) unter Calliduliden : Cleosiris 

 Catamitae von den Andamanen. 



1877 beschreibt Butler in Annais and Mag. Nat Hist. Ser. 4, Vol. XX 

 pag. 399 das neue Genus Pterodecta: 



„allied to Cleosiris, but tlie primaries with deeply and widely sinuated apex, 

 formiiig au acute angle at the extremity of the upper radial, palpi coarser and 

 more densely scaled. Type: Pt. Anchora." 



In Butler's 111. typ. Het.^Br. Mus. Bd. II, pag. 8 (1878) steht die 

 folgende Diagnose der von ihm als neu angesehenen Art: 



„Pterodecta gloriosa: Wings above dark olive brown, fringes red, 

 intersected by a blackish line, primaries with the costa reddish, flesked with 

 pink, a broad discal bisinuated arched belt of brilliant scarlet, orange towards 

 the costa; body dash brown, reddish in front and below. Primaries below varied 

 with ferruginous yellow and black, two black-edged white spots in the cell, 

 and a large one at the end of the cell; discal belt brigbter and more suffused 

 with yellow than above, a large lilaciue apical crescent-shaped spot : secondaries 

 ferruginous, irregularly banded and stricted with a deeper shade of the same 

 colour ; three black spots near the base ; a central streak of yellow dots, in 

 which is a yellow-edged spot, tips of the veins and a marginal line at apex

 ä Dorei pag. 18 die nachfolgenden Species an: Tyndaris laetifica, 

 Cleis erycinoides Fd. und Cl. dichroa. Er bemerkt zu T. laetifica: 



„La place de cette espece est encore bien incertaine et il en sera ainsi tant 

 que les premiers etats resteront inconnus ;" und zu Cl. Erycinoides : „Cette petits 

 Cleis rappeile an dessous surtout certains Eryeinides de l'Amerique de Sud. Elle 

 a cela de commun avec beaucoup d'autres petits especes d'Heteroceres qui 

 semblent etre plus ou moins la copie de Rhopaloceres appartenant a la famille 

 des Eryeinides." 



1879 führt Butler unter den von Eev. Brown in New-Ireland ge- 

 sammelten Heteroceren (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1879, pag. 163) bei den Agaristiden 

 an: Cleis posticalis Gue'rin, Voy. Cocq. 286, pl. 15, f. 4 und Cleis
