Descriptions of four new Asiatic Butterflies: hy A. G. 

 Butler, F.L.S. 



Tanaecia Rdbertsii, n. sp. 



(J. Wings above pale olive-brown, apical half pearly- 

 white, bounded just beyond end of cell by an irregular 

 blackish undulated line ; a second zigzag line across centre 

 of disc, interrupted on lower discoidal interspace of 

 primaries ; a series of submarginal hastate black markings ; 

 margin rather broadly pale brown ; ring-like characters at 

 base as usual, blackish ; body brown : underside much 

 paler, the brown area altered to pale ochraceous ; the 

 black lunated lines of disc broken up into spots, the 

 hastate markings only sharply defined at their apices ; 

 basal markings as above, but more sharply defined on 

 secondaries ; body pale ochraceous : expanse of wings, 2 

 inches, 6 lines. 



Ayerpanas, Malacca (H. Bolerts). 



Most nearly allied to T. Sitpercilia, Butler, but smaller, 

 with the entire externo-discal area of all the wings pearly- 

 whitish,, and the hastate submarginal markings distinctly 

 separated from one another as in T. Violaria. 



Nepheronia compacta, n. sp>. 



Wings above pale bluish-green ; the nervures sepia- 

 brown ; primaries with costa and outer margin broadly sepia- 

 brown ; secondaries with costal and inner margins nearly 

 white ; auter margin broadly sepia-brown ; body sepia- 

 brown, the thorax clothed with greenish-grey hairs ; wings 

 below pearly-greenish ; the costal and median nervures of 

 primaries blackish : body snowy-white, the abdomen 

 speckled with dark brown scales at the sides : expanse of 

 wings, 2 inches, 9 lines. 



Central India (ZT. Boherts). 



Allied to N. Valeria of Cramer, but more like N. 

 Ceylanica of Felder, on the upper-surface : in form it agrees 

 better with N. Johxa of Boisduval ; but the costal margin 

 of primaries is comparatively shorter.
