two by its broad face, shorter lateral face-marks, and more 

 dusky wings. The two others are very near to Jioridana indeed, 

 especially in the form of the face-marks, but that has a 

 perceptibly narrower face, and seems to be different. It may 

 be that they represent the female of georgica. The lateral face- 

 marks in these forms are very elongated triangles, more or less 

 truncate at the upper end ; thus they are longer and not so 

 broad as in zizice and modesta females, but at the same time they 

 are more distinctly triangular than is usual in varifrons. Another 

 Georgia female, which I had put aside as distinct, seems to be 

 really Jioridana. 



Another series of Georgia females represents a larger species, 

 with perceptibly darkened wings, and chrome-yellow face-marks 

 shaped as in modesta. This, I take it, is the female of triangu- 

 laris. It will not be confounded with schivarzii, as that has the 

 lateral face-marks so much narrower and paler, and the wings 

 still darker. It might more easily be taken for conjiuens, but 

 the punctuation of the mesothorax is by no means so coarse, nor 

 confluent, and the sculpturing of the front is very much finer, 

 not running into grooves as in conjiuens. 



It is pertinent to remark, that the male triangularis is very 

 much like the N. J. male supposed to be conjiuens, but the 

 supra-clypeal mark is longer, and its lower margin is almost 

 straight, whereas in the N. J. insect it is noticeably curved. 

 The ocelli are smaller and somewhat closer together in the 

 N. J. insect. The N. J. male is not like the female conjiuens in 

 the sculpturing of the front. 



The student will, I am afraid, feel much dissatisfied with the 

 uncertainty of the conclusions reached above ; but he is reminded 

 that the study of miscellaneous specimens without any biological 

 data can never lead to the best results ; and it is the writer's 

 purpose rather to insist upon the need for further investigation, 

 than to suggest that the present results are in any sense final.

A NEW SPECIES OP CH A LUXES FROM SIAM. 



By Percy I. Lathy. 



Charaxes nigrobasalis, sp. nov. 

 $ . Fore wings similar to C. rothschildi, Leech, but paler. The 

 basal black does not extend so far along inner margin as in that 

 species, and the black marginal border is much narrower at the anal 

 angle. Hind wings as in G. eudamippus, Doubld., but row of light 

 marginal spots paler. Thorax blackish, abdomen pale yellow. Under 

 side as in C. eudamippus, Double!., but with submarginal orange 

 markings and orange spot at anal angle much more dull and in- 

 distinct.
