 u. 161 (Simbang), except in the followiug particulars: — 



Upperside : forewing has a series of brown lunnles standing 2\ mm. from the 

 black border of the wing; the.se Innules are extremely faint in yigaiitcu and only 

 1 mm. distant from the black border, the latter being somewhat broader in giqaMea 

 than in leto; the Innule between veins 6 and 7 twice as wide in leto, the tawny 

 orange spot between it and border of wing larger; there is no orange-tawny spot 

 between veins 7 and 8. On hindwing the sabmarginal black patches are smaller, 

 the orange-tawny interspaces between them and border of wing larger. 



Underside: hindwing with a gre)'ish plumbeons metallic glos.s, except onter 

 margin and a narrow band in outer half of wing; no small yellowish buff patches

3. Charaxes eupalus dilutus subsp. nov. 



? . The greenish apical area of the forewing above much reduced, the white 

 colour extending 10 mm. beyond apex of cell, while in the females from West 

 Africa the intersjjace between apex of cell and green ajjical area is only 2i mm.; 

 no fnscous dot at apex of cell. Hindwing much paler than in West African eupalas, 

 margin as pale as disc; submarginal spots very small, only fonr iu number, the two 

 anterior ones of eupalus being absent iu dilutus. 



On iinderside there is a broad pale bar in cell of forewing.

4. Euphaedra eleus orientalis snbsp. nov. 



c?. upperside : forewing, subapical band half as wide again as in the common 

 West African form ; the black area more extended, its inner edge crossing median 

 nervure at origin of vein 3 and being 1<) mm. distant from outer margin at vein 2; 

 two black dots in cell. Hindwing, submarginal blue and white dots smaller than in 

 eleus eleus. 



Underside : forewing, subapical band as broad as above, an iuterrnpted black 

 line at apex of cell, and three black dots iu cell. Hindwing with two black dots in

5. Liphyi'a brassolis major subsp. nov. 



? . A third larger than brassolis and robustus. Outer margin of forewing slightly 

 sinuate below apex, hence apical angle acute ; marginal black band of forewing 

 between veins 2 and 4 much narrower (comparatively) than in robustus ; yellow 

 postdiscal spots between these veins 7 mm. long, rounded outwardly, almost 

 straight or somewhat convex basally ; black area in cell not ijuite so extended basally 

 as inrobustus; black border of wing running down halfway to base at hinder margin.
