2 Mr. Butler's Descriptions of 



2. Danais Ishma, sp. nov. 



Alse supra nigro fusciie viridi-albo maculatcT. et plagialse. 



Frontioings much produced ; a discoidal streak resem- 

 bling the human radius at the base, and a very deeply- 

 notched subquadrate patch at the apex of the cell ; a broad 

 uneven band, divided by the nervures into seven or eight 

 spots crosses the wing obliquely, bounding the cell on two 

 sides ; a series of eleven submarginal points (the ninth and 

 tenth geminate) enclose the wing, beginning just before 

 the middle of the costal margin and terminating at the 

 anal angle ; several minute marginal points ; all these 

 markings are pale green. 



Hinclwbifis, basal area to beyond the discoidal cell pale 

 transparent :.:-3en, separated into patches by broad blackish 

 nervures ; the apical area dark brown witli two rows of 

 submarginal white spots placed obliquely in couples ; 

 abdominal margin pale brown, streaked with grey brown ; 

 hody, thorax black spotted with white, abdomen brown, 

 antennae black. 



Wings below nearly as above, but the submarginal spots 

 larger : expands 3 inches, 8 lines. 

 Gilolo. Coll. Druce. 



This species is also in the British Museum from Celebes, 

 it comes near to D. Sohrina which it resembles in form 

 and the pattern of the hindwings, the frontwings are 

 however quite different. 



SUB-FAMILY BEA^SOLIN^. Bates. 



GENUS DASYOPHTHA^MA. Westwood. 

 1. Dasyophthalma Vertebralis, sp. nov. 



Alae supra nigro-fuscae" albo-fasciatiB, subtus fuscte 

 albfeque, nigro -striatse, ocellis permagnis. 



Frontioings above dark brown witli an oblique creamy 

 discal band, beginning upon the inner margin just beyond 

 the middle, and continuing to near the apex, the apical 

 portion broken up into four subhastate spots, the two 

 uppermost of which partially enclose two large oval black 

 spots ; a subcostal creamy spot near the apex separated 

 into three parts by the nervures. 



Hindwings dark brown, paler towards the abdominal 

 margin, a broad creamy discal band tapering towards the 

 apex, obscurely dentated on its inner, and sinuated on its 

 outer-margin ; hody brown, antennse black.
