336 Mr. A. R. Walkce's Notes 



Expanse 2' 2 inches. 



Eah.—mmoY, Floras (Wall. c?. ?). 



Godart gives " Java" as the locality of his species, 

 but it is more probable that the specimens came from 

 some of the islands east of it. 



5. LiBYTHEA ANTIPODA. 



Lihythea antipoda, Feld. Nov. Voy, Lep. p. 813, pi. xlii. 

 fig. 9, 10. 



S . Var. ?. Apex of fore-wings narrow, and rounded aa 

 in L. hatchiana, of hind-wings somewhat toothed at the anal 

 angle, as in L. ceramensis and L. Geoffroyi ; middle 

 disco-cellular vein curved, lower nearly straight. 



Above : fore-wings uniform violet, with four black 

 veins, and a narrow dusky border ; hind-wings violet, 

 with a broad posterior and abdominal border. 



Beneath: fore-wings ochreish-yellow, slightly irrorated 

 at the apex, and with two subapical pale spots as in the 

 allied species ; the lower submarginal spot very faintly 

 indicated ; hind- wings earthy-brown, irrorated, the 

 whitish bands not very distinct. 



Hob. — Macassar (Wall.) , Philippine Is. 



My Macassar specimen agrees with one from the Philip- 

 pines, but diflFers somewhat from Felder's figure and 

 description. 



6. LiBYTHEA CERAMENSIS, n. S. 



Male. Rather larger than L. Geoffroyi, upper-wings 

 less abruptly notched. Above, the violet-blue tinge ex- 

 tends over the disc of all the wings, leaving only a dusky 

 border, the white spots and rufovis band wanting, the 

 nervures rather broadly dusky. On the underside, the 

 fore-wings have the apical spots as in L. Geofroyi, but 

 the lower spots are replaced by an obscure pale band, 

 and there is no white spot within the cell, which is entirely 

 rufous : the hind-wings are irrorated, blackish-brown, with 

 three curved white bands. 



Expanse 21 inches. 



Hab. — Ceram (Wall., type) . 



7. LiBYTHEA BATCHIANA, n. S. 



Male. Very close to L. ceramensis, apex of wing more 

 elongate and rounded, and hind-wings less produced at 

 anal angle; the middle and lower disco- cellular veins are
