 A large species of specimens. The species seems to be very common. 



')<!. G. buruensis sp. nov. 



S. The male on the ni)persidc very closely resembles Parayerijdus horsJldJi 

 (Moore). The colour of the wings on this side is uniform fuscous, with a narrow 

 streak of paler colour on the middle of the jjrimaries. The resemblance in colour 

 and size to this well-known Javanese species is so close that at first sight it is almost 

 impossible to distinguish the two. On the underside the wiugs are marked much 

 as in G. chinensis Felder, but the submarginal row of spots on the pi-imaries is 

 continuous along the border and docs not merely extend from the costa to the third 

 median nervule as in that sjiecies. 



? . The female is darker upon the upper surface thaii the male, and the usual 

 differences in the form of the wing are observable in this sex. The streak of pale 

 ochraceons found upon the primaries of the male is replaced in the ease of the 

 female by a small subtriangular spot of jiure white. 



I at first thought that this insect might be the form described by Ribbe as 

 cei-d mensis, Iris II. p. 247, but I have finally changed my opinion, and I am also 

 quite clear from the figure given by Staudinger, Iris II. t. 1. f 2, that it is not the 

 species named liy him as Miletus, /il/llippus., though some of the parts of his 

 description might apply to it. I have therefore ventured to describe it as a new 

 species.

 There are several specimens in fair condition, and a number which are very 

 poor. I cannot distinguish them from sj)eciraens coming from India and Barmah 

 and contained in my collection. I confess that I am somewhat sceptical as to the 

 validity of the species named S. plwrmis Feld., of which I possess specimens, 

 l)elieved to be accurately determined, from Amboyna. Except for the reduced size, 

 or occasional absence of the light spot on the upperside of the primaries, this form 

 iloes not ai)i)ear to me to differ greatly from V epim Westwood. The markings of 

 the underside appear to me to be identical.
