baud ou lx)th wings being very much broader, and in the band on the jMsterior wings 

 gradually tapering to the anal angle, the white band in C atrignta being of almost 

 uniform width throughout. There is a long series of this species in the collection. 



l-'ii. Cyrestis achates Butler. 

 A long series agrees witli .Mr. Butler's type specimen in the British Museum. 

 C. hyliis of Clerck, as so named in the Hewitson collection, is a darker in.sect, and is 

 identical with C. rudis of Felder. This species is the same as C nedyvinus Felder, 

 from German New Guinea, wth the type of which in the Felder collection, now at 

 Tring, I have lately compared it, and Mr. Felder's name sinks into a synonym, 

 Mr. Butler's description having the priority in date. 



121. Minetra aspila Honrath. 



A long series. In a funude specimen tlie U|)permost of the two conical spots 

 between the discoidal nervules on the underside is represented on the upperside liy a 

 round white spot above the upper discoidal nervule. 



\22. Helcyra chionippe Felder. 

 One specimen of this scarce and beautiful species. 



12;!. Apatmnna ribbei Holier. 

 A long series of both sexes. 



124. Charaxes cimonides s)i. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : both wings clo.sely re.semble C. civion Feld. ; they differ in 

 the following particulars : — On the anterior wings the inner edge of the dark brown 

 band which covers the outer third of the wings is, towards the costal margin, less 

 extended inwardly between the lowest suhco.-tal and the discoidal nervules; these 

 nervules are crossed obliquely by two dark bars situated in the feiTUginous brown area 

 which covers the inner two-thirds of the wings, just before it joins the dark outer bar ; 

 of these bars the upper is comma-slia)ied and placed obliquely, the lower is more 

 linear. On the posterior wings the dark outer area is also more restricted towards the 

 costa, and less defined towards the anal angle, whei-e the ferruginous brown of the 

 inner area extends into it along the veins towards the outer margin ; there are two 

 lunulate bro\vii streaks between the middle median nervule and the submedian 

 nervure near the margin, and two minute white dots at the anal angle which are 

 smaller than in C. ciman; the other white spots which are situate in C. chnon further 

 along the wings being absent. 



Underside : both wings darker than in C. ci'iuon. On the anterior wings the 

 dark line wltich crosses the wings from about the middle of the costa to the lowest 

 discoidal nervule is angulateil in the middle instead of almost straight as in C. cirium, 

 and there is a submarginal row of glaucous sericeous spots which is not represented 

 in that .species. The spots in tliis row are largest and more conspicuous towards the 

 apex, and gradually become obsolete; towards the outer angle. On the posterior wings 

 the sericeous band wliieh crosses the disc beyond the middle is narrower, the white 

 spots and markings in it are smaller, and the pale submarginal baud of V. cimon is 

 in cimionidea nearly the same colour as the rest of the wings.
