6 ?. Difl'ers from the Guadalcauar t'orin as follows : — 



Foi-ewing : black basal area reduced ; 3-elIo'w area extended, reaching to lower 

 angle of cell and ]iostcriorIy to near angle of wing, much narrower at costal margin 

 than behind, outwardly convex, feebly indented at lower angle of cell ; black border 

 of this area thin, widened in front, in S posteriorly touching the black marginal 



band, red area more glossy than in the preceding form. Hindwing : yellow area 



also large, rounded externally ; black distal border of wing 2i to 3 mm. broad in 

 front, almost restricted to fringe between M- and SM-.

 of both sexes. 



In one of tlie ? ? vein 8 is absent from the right wing. 



32. Byrsia aurantiaca javana subsp. nov. 



? . Snellen mentions a bad individual of the Java form of aurantiaca in 

 Tijchchr. Ent. xxix. p. 3. (1886), saying that it differs from the Sumatra specimens 

 especially in the red area of the forewing occupying the whole apex of the wing. 

 This patch is indeed very mnch larger than in the Sumatra and Borneo individuals, 

 the black colour surrounding it consequently more reduced. The black border of 

 the hindwing does not extend to anal angle, the ? agreeing in this respect with 

 the S of tturant. aurantiaca, while the ? of the latter has the whole fringe of the 

 wing black.

33. Byrsia dotata. 



B. dotata Wlk., Hamps., /.-?. p. 282. u. 591. (1900J (typo : " Timor " ex err.). 



We have referred several times (Nov. ZooL. vi. p. 442) to a collection said to be 

 from Timor which the British Museum received from a dealer, and have pointed 

 out that these insects are really Batjan forms. The " Timor" ? of B. dotata agrees 

 perfectly with the Batjan specimens of this species. If there is a form of dotata on 

 Timor, it will turn out to be very different from the Moluccan race.

3. Upperside: Black basal area of forewing reduced, about half the width of 

 the thorax ; black costal border very thin ; yellow area 5 mm. wide ; reddish orange 



submarginal band almost reaching anal angle. Ilindwinxj: a pale patch along 



costal margin (concealed under the forewing), the yellow area indicated by few 

 orange yellow scales, which do not form a distinct patch. 



Underside : yellow areas paler than above ; that of the liindwing large.
