 figs. 3,4 (1861). 



Macassar, Celebes (Wallace). 6 2, B.M. 



Mimics Euplcea mniszechii or E. gloriosa, apparently the former. 



6. Dyctis hicetas. 



<$ . Elymnias hicetas, Wallace, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, p. 327. 

 n. 21 (1869). 



Macassar, Celebes (Wallace). 



This seems to differ but little from the preceding, of which I 

 strongly suspect it to be a variety. 



7. Dyctis cum^ea. 



Melanitis cumcea, Felder, Nov. Voy. Lep. iii. p. 452. n. 745, pi. 61 . 

 figs. 9, 10 (1867).

 Nearly allied to the preceding.

Melanitis mimalon, Hewitson, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 52, 

 pi. 9. figs. 1,2(1861). 



Menado, Celebes. J, xJ.M. 



The finest species in the genus. It appears not to mimic any 

 thing.

Batchian, Kaioa Island, Ternate ( Wallace). 



This species is unknown to me ; it probably resembles one of the 

 dark Euplcea. 



11. Dyctis papua. 



Elymnias papua, Wallace, Trans. Ent. Soc. Loudon, p. 329. n. 28 

 (1869).

Mr. Wallace says that "this species closely resembles a Euplcea.'''' 

 Unfortunately he does not mention which Euplcea.
