darker chocolate area discally on the forewing, a row of obscure darker 

 submarginal spots on the forewing, and discally on the hind wing ; the 

 abdominal margin of the hindwing is broadly suffused with bluish. 



Sumba, a single male taken by the river Waibaku near Pada 

 Dalung, at 1,500 feet. The species seems intermediate between A. 

 venilia and A. amhara. 



Athyma nefte, Cram. 

 One male taken near Ndindi, Sambawa, at 3000 feet elevation. 

 It is one of the apparently numerous Indo-Malayan species inhabiting 

 the mountainous interior of this island.

* I append the description of a Tery rare species from Perak, Malay Peninsula, 

 allied to L. daraxa. 



Ltmenitis agneya, n. gp. 



Male. Above very deep fuscous, a pea-green band across bofcli vrings. Base of 

 forewing somewhat paler, with obliquely transverse darker markings in and below 

 the cell : a submarginal pale line, an outer-discal row of six dark spots set in square 

 paler spaces. The green band extends from the hind margin to the upper median 

 vein in four spots separated by dark veins only, the upper spot a little out of line 

 and smaller. Beyond these a line of three smaller spots runs to meet them oblique- 

 ly, placed at right angles with the costa, extending from the upper median to the 

 subcostal, the upper smaller than the others and whitish, placed above the inner 

 half of the middle and largest one. More than halfway between these and the apex 

 are two other spots also placed at right angles with the costa, and between the third 

 and fifth subcostal veins, the lower small, greenish, the upper very small, whitish. 

 On the hindiving the green band extends from the costa, where it is widest, to the 

 submedian vein, tapering to a point. Its inner margin is convex, its outer straight ; 

 it is whitish at both ends and cut by slender black veins. The submarginal pale 

 line and the outer-discal line of spots are much as on the forewing ; cilia white, 

 dark at the ends of the veins. Below light chestnut-brown, the band as above, but 

 paler green and not cut by dark veins, the basal marks on both wings outlined with 

 lilac, the outer-discal line of spots set in lilac areas, the submarginal line lilac, some 

 darker red discal markings beyond the green band. 



Obviously differs from Limenitis daraxa in the bifid green band of the forewing ; 

 agrees with it in the closed cells of both wings, which make the positions of the 

 species in this genus rather dubious. My single male of agneya was taken on Larnt 

 Hill, Perak, at about two thousand feet elevation. L. daraxa, not apparently differing 

 in any respect from the Himalayan form, was not uncommon at the summit of the 

 same hill, nearly three thousand feet higher. 



Prehensors, seen from the side. In agneya the uncus is long, sinuous, hooked 

 at the tip, without branches, the clasp simple, straight, tapering gradually to the
