334 Mr. A. R. Wallace's Notes 



concentrically marked with dusty white bands^ which 

 colour appears also in patches on the outer margins; a 

 distinct white spot near the apex of the upper- wings, as 

 in E. Coryta. 



Expanse 2 inches. 



Hab.— Timor (Wall., type) . 



7. ErGOLIS TiENIATA. 



Ergolis tceniata, Feld. Wien. Eut. Monats. 1861, p. 303; 

 Nov. Voy. Lep. pi. Ixi. f. 1, 2. ? . 



Bah. — Luzon (B. M.). 



A distinct and very handsome species, distinguished 

 by a broad rufous-yellow band on a brown ground-colour. 



8. Ergolis adelpha. 

 Ergolis adelpha, Feld. Wien. Ent. Monats. 1861, p. 303. 

 Hah. — Mindanao. 



Closely allied to E. tceniata, but smaller, and the an- 

 terior wings more angulate. 



2. Ergolis obscura. 



Ergolis ohscura, Feld. Nov. Voy. Lep. p. 450, pi. Ixi. f. 3, 4. 



Hah.—'' Halmaheira," Gilolo (Felder). 



This very distinct species may be at once distinguished 

 from the rest of the genus by its uniformly rounded 

 wings. It is of a dusky colour, and the usual markings 

 are nearly obliterated. 



Fam. LIBYTHEID^. 

 Genus Libtthba, Fabricius. 



This small group is of world-wide distribution, and 

 like all such, is a frequenter of open grounds, plains, 

 river-banks, and sea-shores, rather than the virgin 

 forest. The species are all small, and in the activity of 

 their motions resemble the lesser Nymphalidce. Dr. Felder 

 places them between the Erycinidoi and Danaidce.
