broad black borders; the white spots on the black apical area 
also differ a little, the fifth in the subapical series being longer 
and wider, so that it becomes the largest of the series; below 
this series are two moderate-sized spots, as in S. nubila, and 
below the inner one (within the first median interspace) is a 
slightly larger spot; below the outer one and in the same 
interspace with it is a white dot, there are also four white 
submarginal dots, one at apex and three near the centre of 
outer margin; the secondaries are quite unlike those of 8. 
nubila and allies, being of a smoky-brown colour, with white- 
spotted fringe, with nine white dots in a double series towards 
anal angle, and two placed obliquely near apex; these wings 
are therefore most like those of S. ferruginea. LExpanse of

NYMPHALINZ. 
Doleschallia niasica, sp. n. 
9. Nearest to D. pratipa; primaries with the basal two 
fifths and inner border smoky fulvous, the apex and external 
border broadly black, and the intermediate area creamy white ; 
a transverse black patch at the end of the cell, and three un- 
equal decreasing white dots placed obliquely near apex ; se- 
condaries smoky fulvous, the costal area broadly smoky grey ; 
two slightly undulated blackish submarginal stripes and the 
two usual black spots on the disk ; abdominal border whitish 
towards the base ; body dark olivaceous. Under surface with 
the pattern of D. pratipa, but the wings altogether paler than 
in any specimens known to me of that species. Expanse of 
wings 72 millim. 
Symphedra perdix, sp. n. 
@. Allied to S. wetes of Menado, Celebes; blackish 
piceous, with white and tawny spots, arranged much as in 
S. dirtea, though differing in colour; the chief differences 
between the two females are as follows:—In S. perdizv the 
two series of spots which cross the disk are considerably 
larger, those on the median interspaces being also confluent, 
so as to produce (with those which are confluent in S. e@etes 2 
of Hewitson) a broad white angular belt, interrupted by 
black nervures, and throwing off three decreasing white spots 
from its angle to the costa; the submarginal spots are more 
regular, larger towards external angle, where they are 
whitish, but decreasing to a mere point towards apex ; the 
two series of spots across the basal half of secondaries are
