Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of Agaxist'idx. 139 



and base of abdomen black ; remainder of abdomen bright 

 orange, crossed bj four black scginental lines : wings l^eiow 

 the same as above, excepting tliat there is a nebulous subcostal 

 greyish streak in primaries : body below less black than above ; 

 tlie femora orange. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch 11 lines. 



Port Albany, North Australia (Stevens). Type, B.M. 



Allied to, but very distinct from, A. Donovani] its black- 

 and-white coloration makes it very similar to the butterflies in 

 the N.-melicerta group of NejJtis. 



Genus EusEMiA, Dalman. 



Dr. Boisduval's new species, E. Lamhertiene (n. 3), of which 

 he justly says that it is " sans contredit, I'une des plus belles 

 du genre," is identical with E. hisma of Moore (n. 9). Dr. 

 Boisduval gives Java as the habitat of E. amatrix (n. 11), 

 whereas the Javan species is his own E. clymene (n. 30) ; if 

 he refers to the ' Oriental Entomology ' he will find that 

 Westwood's species comes from India. E. emolliens (n. 17) 

 will go with E, mollis into a new genus. E. saturata (n. 45) 

 appears to be a Burgena ; but I have failed to discover the 

 type. -E*.? oegoceroides is identical with Metagarista transiens 

 of Walker ; and E. ? sahulosa is a new species of the same 

 genus. 



1. Eusemia silhetensts, n. sp. 



$ . Closely allied to the Nepalese E. victrix, but with the 

 centi'al pale yellow band of primaries more transverse, the t^vo 

 patches of which it is formed being placed exactly below one 

 another ; one discal subcostal white spot (sometimes obsolete) 

 instead of three in a transverse series ; blue marginal area of 

 secondaries considerably broader ; difierences below much as 

 above. 



Expanse of wings 3 inches 4 lines. 



Silhet [Doubleday & Argent). Two specimens, B.M. 



2. Eusemia orientalis^ n. sp. 



$ . Nearly allied to E. victrix^ much smaller ; the centi-al 

 pale yellow band of primaries more irregular ; the discal white 

 spots united into a quadrifid white bar ; secondaries with the 

 marginal blue area more pui-ple in tint and much narrower : 

 wings below purplish brown, the margins bluish ; primaries 

 with markings as above ; secondaries with a diffused subapical 

 orange spot. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches 6 lines. 



Mussooree [Leadbeater) . Type, B.M.
