We are indebted to Dr. Staudinger for the opportunity of examining the type of 

 litigiosa, Moschl., from " India \ Silhet." 



! Tagiades wateestradti, n. sp. (Plate XX. fig. 7, d .) 



6 2 . Nearest to T. atticus. Fab., from which it diff'ers in the following points : — 

 On the fore wing there is no hyaline spot in cells 2 and 3, and only one (the upper- 

 most) in the cell, and on the hind wing above the black basal portion is more extensive, 

 the dorsum being black for at least half its length, and the black terminal spot on 

 vein 1 5 is at least twice as large as those on veins 2, 3, and 4. 



Expanse 36^-38^ mm. 



Eab. Kina Balu, Borneo {Water stradt). 



Described from three specimens ex coll. Staudinger, one of which is now in coll. Elwes. 



! Tagiades martinus. 



Tagiades martinus, Plotz, Jahrb. Nass. Ver. xxxvii. p. 47 (1884) ; Semper, Schmett. Pliilipp. 

 p. 309, pi. xlix. fig. 3, S (1892). 

 Hab. Amboina, Philippines, Aru Islands, Mysol {Semper) ; Celebes {coll. Stgr.). 



! Tagiades sambavana, n. sp. (Plate XX. fig. 10, 6 ; Plate XXII. fig. 14.) 

 Very similar to T. atticus, but on the hind wing below the black spot in the cell is 

 wanting or very small, and on the upperside there are sometimes two white points near 

 the apical third of cell 1 a in the fore wing (as seen in T. trichoneura and T. pralaya). 

 The species is however well distinguished by the clasp-form of the male. In T. atticus 

 the apical part of the clasp is triangular and its apex, instead of being deflexed and 

 serrate as in T. menaka, is simple ; in T. sambavana the clasp has a short spiniform 

 tooth near the middle of its upper edge, and beyond this, at a distance about equal to 

 the distance of the short tooth from the base of the clasp, there arises a long curved 

 acuminate horn, which is about equal in length to the greatest width of the clasp. 

 Hab. Sambawa, Bali {Lohertij). Described from eight males and one female in 



coll. Elwes.
