This is one of the most beaxitiful species in the genus; it benrs a \apnQ 

 resemblance to //. alhula of Timor, Avhich; however, belongs to tlio 

 //. anomala group. 



5. Precis expansa, Butler. 



S . Allied to P. tlmorensls of Wallace, from Avhich, however, it differs 

 in its clearer fulvous colouring above, the blackish colouring of the external 

 area being confined to the apex, the paler coloration of the under surface, 

 its broader and less joroduccd primaries, and the less pronounced caudal 

 angle to the secomiaries. AYings above tawny, with black markings and 

 bluish-centred ocelli, as in P. erifjone of Java (Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pL 

 62. E, F), but the white marl^ings of that species replaced by a slightly 

 }>alcr tint of tawny than the ground colour ; under surface as in i^ ernjom: 

 Expanse of wings 52-54 mm.

 * Why the P, erlgone group has been referred to Junonia and the 



scarcely differing P. natalka to Precis it would, I think, be hard to 

 explain. P. antkjone and P. natalka seem very closely allied species.

Most nearly allied to D. visTinu of Moore from Java (with yhich .'^pecics 

 it was associated by Wallace). It differs in its superior^ size, the 

 narrower black area of the upper surface, the deeply siuuatcd inccr edge 

 of the black area on the primaries, the apical scries of spots mucu
