174 W. Doherty — The Butterflies of Sumba avd Samhawa, Sfc. [No. 2, 



hindwing terminates opposite the second forking of the median vein, 

 in Yoma at some distance before it. The relations of homologous 

 genera in different zoological regions are as yet very little known, and 

 will no doubt greatly exercise the minds of naturalists in the next cen- 

 tury. But for the present I think my genus Yoma may be allowed to 

 stand. 



42. Hypolimnas misippus, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa. The female mimics Danais chrysippus as 

 usual. 6 



43. Hypolimnas bolina, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa. The female sometimes has a red area near 

 the hind margin of the forewing and over the disc of the hindwing. 



44. Hypolimnas saundbesii, Wallace, (?). 



Several broken specimens of what appeared to be a dwarf form of 

 S. pandarus were taken in Sumba, but none have survived. 



Hypolimnas anomala, Wallace. 

 One male, taken in the mountains of Sambawa. I am unable to 

 say whether it was identical with Javanese specimens or not. 



45. Doleschallia sp. 



At least one species occurs in the dry coast region of Sumba, but 

 no specimen was taken. 



46. Helcyra chionippb, Pelder. 



Several specimens seen at Pada Dalung in Sumba, but none taken. 



47. Charaxes athamas, Drury. 

 Sumba, Sambawa. 



48. Charaxes sp. 



A very large Charaxes apparently of the eudamippus group was 

 several times seen in the mountains of Sumba, and again in those of 

 Sambawa. Unlike C. eudamippus, which is a ground butterfly, it always 

 alighted high up on trees, so that I could never catch it. Another 

 species, something like 0. pyrrhus, was once seen in Sumba. 



Family NYMPHALID^. 



49. Ph^dyma columella, Cr. 



Sumba, Sambawa. The upper band of the hindwing above is 

 much broader than in Indian specimens.
