cuneiform patch of orauge ; abdominal margin oclireous ; 

 body blue-black, with an orange stripe on each side of the 

 abdomen ; below almost as above : expanse of wings 1 

 inch, 6 — 7 lines. 



40. Josioides indecisa, n. sp. Hah. — Para. 



Nearly allied to the preceding, but the orange area of 

 the primaries extended to the costal margin in the centre, 

 and enclosing an oblong black spot above the submedian 

 vein ; secondaries with a costal orange streak parallel to 

 the discoidal one, and connected with it at its inferior 

 extremity by a few orange scales, on the under surface 

 only separated from it at the base by a short black dash : 

 expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



Possibly a variation of J. variana. 



41. Josioides sexmaculata, Butler, III. Lep. Het. pi. xix. 



fig. 4. Hah. — Para. 



42. Josioides inconstans, n. sp. Hab, — Para. 



Allied to the preceding, but the orange area of the 

 primaries continued to the base, with a short squamose 

 dash above the submedian vein ; secondaries wholly black 

 on the upper surface : expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



This may, perhaps, be a variety of the preceding species ; 

 but the Avhole of the species differ from each other in 

 about equal degrees, so that a gradation exists from one 

 end of the genus to the other. 



43. Josioides fixa = Josia fixa, Wlk. Lep. Het. 2,

44. Josioides mutata = Josia mutata, Wlk. Lep. Het. 2, 



p. 296. Hab.—Vax?i. 

 J. Batesii of Felder is intermediate between this and 

 the next species.

Wings above purplish-brown ; primaries with a narrow 

 oblique patch of orange across the median vein and its 

 first branch : a subapical orange spot ; body brown with a 

 greyish tint ; primaries below with the orange patch en-
