 7. Cethosta narmadoides, de Niceville, pi. Y, fig. H, $. 



C. narmadoiries^ de Niceville, Joi;rn. A. S. B., vol. Ixvi, pt. 2, p. 6^3, n. 85 (.1898). 

 Habitat : Bali {TJolierty). 

 Expanse : ^,2-9 and o*2 inches. 



Description : " ]\Iale. Upperside, both icings differ from the same 

 sex of C. 77armaffa, Frnhstorfer, from Lombok, in having the oiiter- 

 maroinal black areas much narrower, thus leaving the discal and 

 basal red areas much larger, these occupying the whole of the dis- 

 ooidal cell in the forewing instead of the posterior half only ; and in the 

 hindwino- leaving quite free the outer-discal series of round black 

 spots, instead of extending right up to and more or less including ihem. 

 Forewing has the subapical oblique series of markings reddish-ochreous 

 instead of whitish ; they are conjoined, much larger and more numerous 

 than in C. narmada, in the latter the anterior of tho three subapical 

 spots is widely separated from the two posterior ones. Underside, 

 hoth icings have the ground-colour much paler, in C. narmada it is 

 heavily suffused with black, and the discal pale oohreous band is much 

 broader in the present species. Female unknown." 



" The figure of C. narmada * does not agree with the specimens of 

 that species in my collection received from and named by Mr. H. 

 Fruhstorfer. Instead of having on the upperside of the forewing three 

 subapical spots only, there is a nearly complete series as in C, narmadoi- 

 des ; and on the hindwing the outer-discal series of black spots is free of 

 the marginal black band, thereby agreeing with C. narmadoides, instead 

 of being absorbed in the band. It is described from two male speci- 

 mens taken by Mr. W. Doherty in tho low country of Bali in 

 April, 1896. There are other specimens in Mr. H. J. Elwes' collection."

 In the Journal of the Asititio Society of Bengal, vol. Ixvi, j)t. 2, 

 pp. 533 — 541 (1897), I published a short paper entitled " Description of 

 JS^eptis pfasllni, BoisduviU, and some species allied to it." Dr. A. G. 

 Butler, of tho British Museum (Natural History), has kindly examined 

 proofs of tliroo of the woodcuts therein published, and has given me
