376 A NATURALIST'S WANDERINGS

From the oboYC, however, we may deduct the wide-ranging species 



Catochrysops paktla, Lampides ctlianus, Lagoptera lionestdf and Hymenia 



fascialis, whicli leai'es ns 5 Timor types, 3 Australian, 2 Amboina, 2 NeAV 

 Guinea, 1 Aru, 1 Lifu^ 2 Javan, 1 Indian. The last of these, however, is 

 equally characteristic of the Malayan fauna, as al5o is that from Poly- 

 nesia; these two forms, therefore^ may be regarded as doubtful, which 

 will leave the relative proportions of the species as follows : — Indo- 

 Malayan 2, Austro-Malayan 10, Australian 3. The only surprising 

 fact in this distribution is the preponderance of Timor over Aru or 

 ^ew-Guinea forms, the species characteristic of that island being only 

 equalled by those from Aru, New-Guinea and Amboina combined.

. 1. CnAXAPA sACEUDos, Butler ; loc. sup. cit. PL XXXVIII. Fig. 7. 



Nearly allied to (7. lewlnii of Australia; the wings much blacker, 

 tlie primaries of the male velvet-black, the white spots on the primaries 

 decidedly larger, the sericeous brand on the male of twice the length ; 

 secondaries with the discal series of white spots more regular, nearer 

 to outer margin, and not notched as in C. lewinii ; the submarginal 

 spots clearer and arranged more regularly. Expanse of wings, $ 78 mm., 

 $ 71 mm, 



Larat. 



2. Calliplgea visekda, Butler; lo?. sup. cit. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 1. 



Allied to C. hyems (arfsle. Fid.) from Timor, but much darker; the 

 primaries are of the male velvet-black ; the white spots on the primaries 

 larger, especially the two last in the series, the last of all being the 

 largest spot in the series ; submarginal dots wanting on the upper surface 

 of primaries, but present on the secondaries, which are not bordered 

 with pearl-white but with greyish brown; the discal spots forming a 

 sinuous white band well separated from the margin, somewhat as in the 

 preceding species; the usual whitish costa and cream-coloured sexual 

 patch. Expanse of wings, 64 mm, 



Maru Island. 

 : This is one of the prettiest species in the genus, and is doubtless a 

 copy of the preceding species. 



3. Salatuea lahatensis, Butler; loc. sup. cit. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 5. 



Allied to S. arfenice, Cramer of Java; but the subapical white fascia 

 decidedly broader; no central white markings on the .secondaries; the 

 veins on the under surface of these wings less distinctly bordered with 

 whits. Expanse of wings 70-71. 



Larat. 



Nymphalin^. 



4. HypolTxM^^as FOUBKSii, Butler ; loc. sup. cit, PL XXXVIII. Fig. 4. 



S . Allied to H. poJymena from Aru : velvet-black shot with purple ; 

 primaries with the pattern of II. velleda ?, but darker, and with all the 

 \vliite spots of double the size; the secondaries differ from //. polymena 

 in having a series of hastate brown dashes along the iuternervular folds 

 from just beyond the middle of the broad cream-coloured external area.
