72. Calliploea lucinda .^p. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : anterior wiiig.s fuliginou.s brown at the outer margins, 

 gradually becoming paler to the centre, where it shades into jiinkish white irrorated 

 with grey .scales; this colour pervading the cell, the costal region in the middle, and 

 a somewhat restricted .space beyond and Ijelow the cell, which is more thickly dusted 

 with brown scales than the interior of the cell. Posterior wings fuliginous brown 

 on the margins, becoming paler internally ; the glandular patch is large, I'xi ending 

 over the cell and a space beyond and above it and is buflf coloured. 



Underside : upper wings fuliginous brown, a large pale buff patch extending 

 inwardly from the median nervure to the inner margin and outwardly towards the 

 anal angle. Po.sterior wings darker fuliginous brown than the anterior wings, two 

 white spots at the base and one bluish white spot towards the ape.x between the 

 two upper costal nervules. 



Femalp;. — Both wings fuliginous white tinged with pale opalescent pink, with 

 brown \eins, costal and outer margins brown. Anterior wings most liroadlv so at 

 the apex, inside which is an indication of the ciu'ved row of five small white spots 

 on the underside. On the posterior wings the submarginal row of white .^jiots on 

 the underside show through the wings in a similar way. 



Underside: both wings pale fuliginous brown dusted with pinkish white towards 

 the outer margins, which are narrowly brown ; the space between the cell and the inner 

 margin is pale browaiish white extending to the outer angle ; there is a subapical 

 row of five small white spots between the veins, and another spot above the eosta, 

 between the first and second subcostal nervules. On the posterior wings is a sub- 

 apical row of four white spots, and a row of minute spots close to the margin, from 

 the upper median nervule to the anal angle, two between each vein. 

 E.icpanse of wings, 2| inches. 



One male and a long series of females, one of which is verv much browner on 

 the upperside, and entirely brown on the underside, except the pale space below the 

 cell on the upi)er wings. In some of them the spots on the underside do not show 

 through the wings. In general appearance both sexes jitrongly resemble the next 

 species ; it is a much smaller species. 



73. Salpinx swierstraae Snell. 



A long series of this remarkable butterfiy of both sexes, which var}' consider- 

 ably in the extent of the pinkish white shading on the upperside of the anterior 

 wings, but are all more or less tinged with it. Mr. Snellen has described it as a 

 variety, but the above characteristic, as well as the much brighter brown of the 

 margins on the upperside, and on the underside the deeper shade of brown on both 

 wings, the absence of the spot in the middle of the costa, and of the submarginal 

 row of spots on the anterior wings, and the submarginal row of spots on the posterior 

 wings being reduced to three or four only towards the apex, are sufficient to constitute 

 it a distinct species.
