NEW AND LITTLE-KNOWN BUTTERFLIES. 135 



This species hus a remarkable superficial resemblance to M. (Lohora) 

 ophthalmmis, Westwood, J/. (Lohora) de.vamenus^ Hewitson, M. (Lohora) 

 dinonj Hewitson, J/. (Lohora) deianira, Hewitson (= 21. dora, Hewitson)^ 

 all of which occur in the same island ; but the secondary sexual 

 characters of the male will distinguish that sex from all these. The 

 female is unknown, and will probably be difficult to discriminate. 

 Mr. Francis A. Heron of the British Museum has kindly examined 

 the drawing here reproduced, and informs me that it does not quite agree 

 with Hopffer's description of his unique male example, but that it 

 certainly represents the J/, deianirina of Fruhstoi-fer, described from 

 Toll Toll in North Celebes. There can be but little doubt, I think, 

 that Hopifer's and Frohstorfer's species are one and the same. Herr 

 Fruhstorfer has at my request compared the types of the two species in 

 Berlin, and has kindlv furnished me with the followinor note regarding 

 them : — '' 31. deianirina is almost a synonym of M. pandcea, at best it is 

 only a local race. The type of the latter species bears the unsatisfactory 

 label ' Celebes, A. B. Meyer.' M. deianinna differs, as also does a second 

 specimen in my collection, from M, pandcea in having waved instead of 

 straight marginal and submarginal lines on the underside of the 

 forewing, and those lines on the hindwing are black instead of brown ; 

 the apex of the hindwing bears a lilac band, which is not found in 

 M. pandcea ; my species has eight while Hopffer's species has six ocelli 

 on the hindwing ; my species has broader and darker brown median 

 lines on both wings than J/, pandcea.^'' I do not understand M. Fruhs- 

 torfer's remark tbit M. pandcea has six ocelli and M. deianirina eight 

 on the hindwing, as my specimen has only four.
