Ternate {Wallace). B.M. 



7. Cleis fasciata^ n. sp. 



? . Above deep purplish brown ; primaries crossed bejond 

 the cell by a rather narrow oblique orange band, from the 

 subcostal nervure to just below the second median branch, 

 both margins of this band irregularly serrated; secondaries 

 crossed by a slightly broader discal band, its inner edge 

 sinuated between the nervures to the radial vein, above which 

 the band is slightly broader to the second subcostal branch, 

 whence it tapers to near the costa ; palpi orange, spotted with 

 black : wings below with the band of primaries wider towards 

 the costa than on the^upper surface ; a continuous submarginal 

 lilac line; pectus and legs orange, venter with a central longi- 

 tudinal pale ochreous stripe. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 6 lines. 



Ternate (TFaZ/ace). Type, B.M. 



Readily distinguished from the preceding by the position 

 and width of the orange bands, that of the primaries crossing 

 the wing just beyond the discoidal cell, that of the secondaries 

 having the brown border beyond it of double the width. 



8. Cleis aruana, n. sp. 



Above chocolate-brown ; primaries crossed immediately 

 beyond the cell by a rather broad ochreous band from the 

 subcostal to the first median branch ; secondaries crossed from 

 the inner margin to the first subcostal branch by a broad irre- 

 gular terminally tapering ochreous patch, its central area 

 almost circular : wings below with the ochreous areas paler 

 and clearer ; the basal half of costa in primaries orange ; a 

 dot in each of the discoidal cells and a squamose subapical 

 spot in primaries lilac ; body below ochreous. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



Aru ( Wallace) . Type, B.M. 



In coloration above this is most like C. versicolor ; in the 

 position of the band of primaries it agrees best with C. fasciata.
