nearest the margin, the two following being at increasing distances 

 from it, while the two lowermost spots are quite out of line with 

 the rest, being nearest of all to the margin. " Elymnias " hocM, 

 Semper, and ^^ Melanitis^'' heza, Hewitson, both from the Philippine 

 Isles, are also more distantly allied species. 



Described from a single example obtained in September, 1894, by 

 Herr M. Ude, the collector of Dr. H. Dohrn of Stettin, after whom 

 I have much pleasure in naming the specimen. The type is in 

 Dr. Martin's collection.

 through on the upperside, giving the pale portions of the wings a 

 mottled appearance. Foreioing with the black areas of the upperside 

 replaced by ferruginous below ; the costa dotted throughout its length
