small spots above curling inwards to near the costa ; a sub- 
marginal row of spots, decreasing in size hindwards, and 
a marginal row of small spots, the first six from the apex 
in pairs: hind wing darker than the fore wing, uniform in 
colour, some small dots at the base ; a submarginal complete 
row of small spots and some spots close to the margin, obso- 
lete on the upper half. 
@?. Somewhat paler in colour, the spot-markings above and 
below larger, those on the underside very prominent. 
Expanse of wings, ¢ 375, ? 3% inches. 
Hab, Ceram Island. 
The fore wings in the male are shorter and more rounded 
than is usual in the genus Salpinx, giving the insect the 
appearance of a Calliplaa.

3d. Much the same pattern as irme*, Forbes, from 
Sumatra ; belongs to the menalis group, represented in the 
Indian region by the mzveat group figured by Bingham in 
the ‘ Fauna of British India,’ Butterflies, ii. p. 851 (1905) ; 
but Bingham has figured nivalis} of Felder, from Java, 
instead of nivea, a perfectly distinct species, with a broad 
black costal border from the base to the apex of the fore wing, 
type in Coll. Rothschild. In atosza the band igs similar, but 
the transverse lines are dark chocolate-brown, the costal band 
of the fore wing is complete and contains three white spots 
—one subapical, the others on each side of it ; the marginal 
band is broader, its inner edge is bent in a curve between 
veins 5 and 3, the edges of the bend connected together by a 
thick transverse line, and there is a white streak near the 
hinder angle above the orange-ochreous patch ; the hind 
wing is marked much as in nivea, except that the white 
streak in the marginal band from the apex downwards is 
much narrower, the transverse lines on both wings thicker 
and more prominent, the short bands downwards from the 
costa of fore wing broader and more complete, the outer one 
fining to a point on vein 4, the middle one across the eell, 
and a subbasal one which crosses the wing and is continued 
across the hind wing to the orange-ochreous anal patch ; the
