Satyrin&. 



Melanitis liukiuana, nov. 



S . Upperside as dark as in obsolescens, Felder, from the 

 Celebes : the outer margin of the fore wing somewhat pro- 

 duced, the margin a little excavated beneath it, as is usual in 

 all females of the dry-season form of this group ; in this 

 species the outline of both sexes is similar, and the wings are 

 more square in shape than is usual ; the subapical ocellus of 

 the fore wing is small, dull black, with a white pupil in its 

 centre and a slight indication of orange on its inner side : on 

 the hind wing there is the usual black ocellus near the anal 

 angle, with a white pupil, and faintly ringed with dull 

 orange, and there is another similar but very small ocellus iu 

 the second interspace, nearer the outer margin. Underside 

 much darker than in obsolescens, the striations much darker 

 brown; the ocelli similarly placed, but on the hind wing- 

 larger and brighter-coloured, the ocelli being placed as on the 

 upperside, but very small on the fore wing, and having three 

 addiiional ocelli, two close to the apex and one in interspace 2, 

 all three much nearer the margin than the one in interspace 3 ; 

 on the hind wing there are three additional ocelli — a large 

 one near the apex, two small ones in interspaces 4 and 5, and 

 a small double ocellus close to the anal angle. 



? . Only differs from the other sex in having a white spot 

 on a dark ground above the subapical ocellus and in having 

 all the ocelli on the underside much larger.
