D. ninus Feld. — From Ceram, with the hitherto unknown 

 pupa. This pupa shows the Apaturid aflfinity of the genus, 

 but is remarkable for the possession of three lobes on the 

 back of the thoracic area. 



Charaxes madensis Eoths. — A few specimens of this species 

 were obtained, including the unknown <S. This species, on 

 account of the $ markings presenting a resemblance to the $ 

 of C. mars, has been associated with that species. Now that 

 the cJ is known, it is seen that the relationship to mars is only 

 a remote one, and this species must still be said to be confined 

 to Celebes. We believe that madensis is more nearly related to 



C. euryalus Cram., from Ceram, an opinion formed by a close 

 comparison of the markings and from the general prevalence of 

 Ceram forms in Buru. This is the only Charaxes in which, 

 the sexes being dimorphic, the female possesses a white band 

 which also occurs in the male. The species was obtained at 

 from 2000-3500 ft., both at the coast and in the central part 

 of the island. 



Mynes dohertyi HoU. (J$. 



Delias. — Messrs. Pratt collected five new species of this 

 genus. One example proved to be the S of D. vidua J. & T., 

 already described in the " Bulletin of The Hill Museum," 

 vol. 1, pt. 2. The species bears a remarkable resemblance to 



D. isse echo Wall., also from Buru, and of which a series was 

 obtained. Whilst D. echo has Moluccan affinities, D. vidua has 

 much in common with D. caliban Sm., from British New Guinea. 

 We exhibit two other parallel cases of resemblance between 

 species of this genus : — 



(a) D. subviridis J. &. T., and D. echidna Hew., from Ceram. 

 These belong to different groups. 



(b) D. rothschildi Holl., and a new species, both from Buru. 

 The new form is wonderfully like D. rothschildi on both sur- 

 faces. It appears to have affinity with D. dohertyi Roths., 

 from Timor; this name must, however, sink to D. dohertyi 

 Ob., for another species. The Timor form is associated with a 

 similarly coloured Huphina as pointed out by Dr. Dixey in 

 Trans. Ent. Soc. 1920, p. 208. A similar Huphina has not 

 been found on Buru as yet. Both Delias were obtained at the 

 same elevation.
