absence of thickened nervures beneath the anterior wings. It is 

 not impossible that T. herod'ias from Gilolo may be the female of 

 this, as many of the species of these two islands are identical.

This curious form seems quite distinct from T. pcecUcdf although 

 very closely allied to it.

This fine species appears to be best placed near T. mys'is, from 

 which it chiefly differs in the great extent of the black border. 

 It is, however, equally closely allied to T. issc.

Vollenhoven says the females from Sumatra " have no black 

 palmated patch on the lower wings beneath, but only the black 

 nervures dilated." This agrees with Cramer's figure and with 

 my specimen from Ambohm. I have no hesitation, therefore, in 

 considering the former locality as an error, more especially as the 

 collector's name is not given. 



44. TInjca philolis, n. sp. (PI. VIII. fig. 4, $ .) 

 Very near T. philyra, but with many points of difference, as 

 follows : — 



3Iale. — Above, the apical patch is much larger and the pos- 

 terior border rather wider and not so clearly defined. Beneath : 

 the boundary of the black colour on the upper wings is in a totally 

 different line, passing across the end of the cell to a little above 

 the outer angle, and leaving a large patch of white between it and
