144 ME. W. C. HEWITSON ON DIUENAL LEPIDOPTEEA. 



Var. Male. With the transverse band much narrower, ill-defined, 

 and clouded. Amboyna ; Mysol. 



Var. Male. With the transverse band obscured and scarcely seen ; 

 the eyes on the underside of the posterior wing smaller. Aru ; Bat- 

 chian ; Salwatty. 



Cyllo Leda, Linnceus. 



C. Banksia, Fabr. C. Helena, Westwood. M. Vamana, Ambasara, 

 Bela, Sugudana, Varaha, Gokala, and Suradeva, Horsf. Sf Moore, Cat. 

 Lep. E. I. C. pp. 223, 224. C. Atrax, Erichsonia, and Boisduvalia, 

 Felder. 



Specimens (males) resembling the figures 3 & 4, Oreas marmorea 

 Leda (C. Helena, Wesho.), of Hiibner's Sammlung, which I believe 

 represent the male. From Bouru, Timor, Batchian, Ceram, Waigiou. 

 Females of the above with the wings truncate, paler, and more 

 ochreous on both sides, resembling Cramer's fig. A. pi. 292. From 

 Bouru, Batchian, and Gilolo. 



Specimens of both sexes resembling figs. 1, 2, Oreas marmorea 

 Leda, of the same plate of Hiibner's Sammlung. From Timor, Flores, 

 Sumatra, and Singapore. 



Specimens of both sexes resembling fig. B of Cramer, pi. 292. 

 From Amboyna, Tondano, and Java. 



One specimen (male) exactly resembling the first-described (Hiibn. 

 Samml. figs. 3, 4) on the upperside, and on the underside as much like 

 the other figures 1 & 2 of the same plate but without any of the 

 ocelli. From Tondano. 



Specimens of Suradeva, Moore, from Java and Malacca. 



I feel sure that any one who will sit down with a large series of 

 Gi/Uo Leda and C. BanTcsia before him, and unprejudiced by what 

 has been done before, must come to the same conclusion which I 

 have done, that they and their endless varieties are one and the 

 same species. I cannot find any line of demarcation by which to 

 make a satisfactory separation. Both of them vary in contour 

 from the triangular anterior wing with its pointed apex and 

 straight outer margin to the same wing truncated at the apex 

 and projected in some cases to a point below the apex. Both 

 have and are also without the ocelli of the underside, which has 

 hitherto been the chief characteristic of Cyllo Leda. I believe 

 that O. amahilis and C. Gonstantia might be better placed as va- 

 rieties of this species.
