iuconspicuons owing to the respective interspace between the black and bine siib- 

 luargiual dot and postdiscal bar being much shaded with cream colour ; admarginal 

 interspaces cream-bnff, small ; admarginal line pale drab : edge of wing greyish 

 between veins ; tails i)ak' drab, creamy at tips, botli somewhat sjiatnlati'. npper 9 

 to 9i mm. long, second slightly cnrved costad, 7 mm. long. 



?. Like c?, but somewhat larger, fore wing above slightly darker in ba.sal half, 

 tails somewhat longer. 



Length of forewing : c?, 38 — 40 mm.

Penis similar to that of Ch. oriliis. 



Hab. Lombok, Samba wa, Flores, and Samba. 



This very remarkable insect, discovered by W. Doherty in February 1896 on 

 Sambawa and Sumba, was shortly afterwards also found on Lombak by W. 

 Frnhstorfer. The name of ocellatus has two or three days' priority over that of 

 sumbanus, and hence must be employed to designate the species. 



The close relationship of Ch. ocellatus with the very aberrant-looking Timorese 

 Ck. oriliis becomes apparent on comparison of the coloration of the underside ; the 

 penis has also a close resemblance in both insects, its dentition being peculiar to 

 these two species.
