17. Elymnias patna. 



Melanitis patna, Westw. Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 405. 



i7a&.— India (B. M.) . 



A fine species, somewhat like E. leucocyma, but with 

 spots beneath as in E. Hewitsoni. 



18. Elymnias Malelas. 



Melanitis malelas, Hewits. Ex. Butt. iii. pi. li. f. 6,7. 



Hab. — East India (Coll. Saunders and Hewitson) . 



Allied to E. leucocyma, but differing in the smooth 

 outline of the wings, and the produced outer angle of 

 the hind- wings. 



19. Elymnias Vasudeva. 



Elymnias Vasudeva, Moore, Cat. Lep. E. I. C. p. 238. 

 Hah. — Darjeeling (E. I. Museum) . 



20. Elymnias Hewitsoni. 



Melanitis leucocyma, Hewits. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1861, p. 53, 

 pi. ix. f. 34 [nee Biblis leucocyma, Godt.) . 



^a6.— Macassar, S. Celebes (Coll. Wall., B. M.) . 



Female. Brown, with a purple gloss on the upper- 

 wings, and a white band from the middle of the costa 

 towards the outer angle; under-wings with the white 

 submarginal spots small, and above them a white band 

 from the median vein to the abdominal margin. Beneath ; 

 with the white bands less distinct, the spots as in Mr. 

 Hewitson^s figure, but smaller. The irroration very coarse 

 and whitish. 



This species does not at all agree with Godart's descrip- 

 tion, which is of an insect closely allied to E. undularis. 

 I have therefore named it after Mr. Hewitson, who has 

 so carefully figured it. 



21. Elymnias Hicetas, n. s. 



Male. Form of M. Hewitsoni; the subcostal vein not 

 so close to its second branch as in that species, and the
