The following Table will give an idea of the geographical relations 

 of the named species in this collection : — 



From the above, however, we may deduct the wide-ranging species 

 Catochrysops patala, Lampides asJianus, Lagoptera honesta, and 

 Hymenia fascialis, which leaves us 5 Timor types, 3 Australian, 

 2 Amboina, 2 New Guinea, 1 Aru, 1 Lifu, 2 Javan, 1 Indian. The 

 last of these, however, is equally characteristic of the Malayan fauna, 

 as also is that from Polynesia ; these two forms therefore may be re- 

 garded as doubtful, which will leave the relative proportions of the 

 species as follows: — Indo-Malayan 2, Austro-Malayau 10, Aus- 

 tralian 3. The only surprising thing in this distribution is the pre- 

 ponderance of Timor over Aru or New-Guinea forms, the species 

 characteristic of that island being only equalled by those from Aru, 

 New Guinea, and Amboina combined.

1. Chanapa SACERDOS, sp. n. (Plate XXXVIII. fig. 7.) 

 Nearly allied to C. lewinii of Australia ; the wings much blacker, 

 the primaries of the male velvet-black, the white spots on the 

 primaries decidedly larger, the sericeous brand on the male of twice 

 the length : secondaries with the discal series of white spots more 

 regular, nearer to outer margin, and not notched as in G. leivinii; 

 the submarginal spots clearer and arranged more regularly. Expanse 

 of wings, cJ 78 mm., 5 71 mm. 

 Larat.
