very nearly square, with the lower side formed by the hinder 

 margin. 



Expanse of wings 3 inches. 



Singapore, Sandtikan. Type in B. M. 



Ischi/ja ebusa, no v. 



? . Palpi, head, body, and more than the inner half of fore 

 wings purple-black : fore winq-s with the orbicular and reni- 

 form as in /. manUa ? , the black portion of the wing limited 

 by a straiglit pale thin band with black outer edges ; outer 

 portion of wing brown, thickly irrorated with white atoms, 

 except in a small portion of the wing, where the absence of 

 irroration leaves a black apex and black waved band below it ; 

 outer margin with pure white points : hind wings blackish 

 brown ; a very large central white patch, nearly round, and 

 below it there are white Irrorations to the outer margin near 

 the anal angle. Underside blackish brown, the white central 

 bands as in manlia, but mucli broader ; a white suffused space 

 inside the band of fore wings. 



Expanse of wings 4yV inches. 



(Solomon Islands [Ribhe). 



Allied to /. neoclierina, Butler, from New Britain. It is 

 such a handsome distinct species, though a female only is in 

 my possession, I am tempted to describe and name it. 



Ischyja inferna, ^ . 



Above as in /. manlia, Cram. ; the blue band in the hind 

 wings is not contracted in its middle as in that species and is 

 attenuated hindwards, but otherwise it is very similar ; the 

 underside, however, is very different, the colour is brownish 

 grey, the discal band of fore wings is broader, and the hind 

 wings are white, with broad brownish-grey borders and central 

 irregular grey line as in /. Arina. 



Expanse of wings Sf^jj inches. 



Kina Balu, N. Borneo (Waterstradt) . 



It is well separated from /. Hageni, Snellen, and /. Annn, 

 because the transverse black line or band on fore wings above 

 is differently placed. Tiiere are four males in the B. M. from 

 Sandakan. It is no doubt a local form of /. manlia. 



Ischyja dispar, nov. 



$ . Upperside like /. Anna, but the discal blue band on 

 the hind wings above is broader, shorter, and more round; 

 the palpi are biown, as in /. manlia and /. Ihujeni^ Snellen,
