56 rAvigiist, 



The following, which was in our collection when Mr. Wallace 

 worked with it (and was regarded by him as one of the varieties of 

 //. antilope), must now be named. 



6. Hj/polimnas eremita, sj). n. 



Allied to H. porphyria ; wings above purplisli-piceous, with the external fourth 

 of primaries and the external third of secondaries paler and yellower in colour, es- 

 pecially on the disc of secondaries ; the paler area on the primaries is hounded 

 intei"nally, from the second median interspace by a curved series of four still paler 

 spots, which, however, are not very distinct; a series of white spots (eight on the 

 pi'imaries, six on the secondaries) crosses the disc parallel to the outer margin ; 

 there are two sub-marginal series of bufP-coloured spots: wings below a little 

 paler than above ; the primaries with three sub-costal, black-edged, white spots 

 in the cell ; secondaries crossed beyond the middle by a pale band ; otherwise much 

 as above : expanse of wings, 78 mm. 



Dorey {Wallace). 



The male of the above species is, I have little doubt, a form which 

 we have from Dorey, closely resembling that sex of H. alimena, of 

 Australia, but differing in the absence of white scales upon the blue 

 band of the primaries above, and of the white sub-apical band on these 

 wings below, also in the much less defined and less lilacine band across 

 the disc of the secondaries on the under surface. 



We have what I believe to be the male of H. porphyria, from 

 Amboina and Ceram ; it is also much like that sex of H. alimena, but 

 possesses slight differences which seem to be constant. 



7. Char axes ni as tens, sp. n. 



^ . Allied to C. Schreiberi, of Java and Malacca, the upper surface greener 

 throughout, but especially towards the base, the bluish areas having green instead of 

 lilac reflections, and much broader, the outer edge of the belt of this colour on the 

 secondaries sharply defined and zigzag throughout, and the marginal markings more 

 perfectly confluent, so that the sub-marginal black belt becomes a confluent series of 

 decreasing pyramidal spots bearing the usual series of white dots; orange marginal 

 spots barely indicated ; white band of primaries of little more than half the width, 

 but that of secondaries the same as in C. Sckreiheri : primaries below bluer, the 

 green band and border yellower ; the central band miich wider, the red spots beyond 

 it replaced by olive-green ; the black markings with a decided green tinge ; the two 

 black spots in the cell larger ; green bands of secondaries yellow, the central one 

 much wider; the red lunules on the green discal belt much paler, brick-red : ex- 

 panse of wings, 9t) mm. 



Island of Nias. 



Thi.s s])ecics must stand between C. Schreiberi and C. cognatus.
