Near to Allotiniis major^ Felcler,* from Celebes, from the same sex 

 of which it appears to differ in its smaller size, highly scalloped 

 instead of even hindwing, and creamy-white instead of glaucous- 

 white underside. Also near to A. fallax^ Felder,t from the Philippines, 

 differing from Felder's figure of the same sex in its more scalloped 

 hindwing, and in the absence of the black white-encircled disco- 

 cellular spot on the upperside of the same wing. The second subcostal 

 nervule of the forewing arises well before the apex of the discoidal cell, 

 exactly as it does in the same sex of A. fallax. 



Described from two examples obtained in the Battak Mountains 

 in February and August, one each in Dr. Martin's and my collection. 



12. SIMISKINA PAVONICA, n. sp,, PL S, Fig. 18, <^. 



Habitat : Battak Mountains, N.-E. Sumatra, 



Expanse : $, 1'3 to 1-4 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, loth loings deep black, with 

 markings of a rich blue in some lights, turning slightly to emerald- 

 green in other lights. Foreioing with a streak posterior to the discoidal 

 cell, commencing from the base of the wing, divided by the black 

 first and second median nervules ; three increasing subapical spots, 

 the uppermost minute, the other two with their inner ends pointed, 

 their outer ends broad, excavated ; a large round spot in the middle 

 of the submedian interspace, touching the submedian nervure, beneath 

 which is a lengthened streak reaching the inner margin ; an increasing 

 submarginal series of six round spots, the uppermost minute, the 

 posteriormost the largest. Hindwing with the costa broadly pale 

 ochreous ; a short streak at the extreme base of the wing ; three large 

 discal quadrate patches divided by the first and second median 

 nervules ; posterior to which are three large marginal lunules ; the 

 extreme margin narrowly black. Underside, hoth wings rich casta- 

 neous ; the discoidal cells closed by a narrow deeper red line ; a discal 

 somewhat irregular deep red line, outwardly defined by a pale violet 

 line, the red line nearly straight in the forewing, commencing on the 

 costa, ending just posterior to the first median nervule, in the hind- 

 wing commencing on the costa, curved round to the middle of the
