LiMENITIS HOLLANDII, H. Sp. 



Male, above, black ; cilia alternately black and white, a donble 

 undulating submarginal pale line, toucbed with whitish apically on 

 the forewing ; two united white spots placed obliquely subapically 

 above the radial veins, with or without a smaller one below them. 

 A broad common white band, very slenderly cut by dark veins, 

 edged outwardly with purple, across both wings, extending on the fore- 

 wing nearly to the upper median vein, the upper (fourth) piece small, 

 the inner edge of the band straight, the outer irregular. Hindwing 

 with the white band extending to the submedian vein, where it is 

 tapering, both its edges nearly straight. Below chestnut-red of two 

 different shades, the basal two-thirds of the cell mostly white, with a 

 crooked dark mark, an irregular white spot at the end of the cell, its 

 lower side tapering ; the white band extends nearly to the lower radial 

 vein ; two submarginal pale lines, the inner mostly bluish- white with 

 three white subapical spots ; a chestnut longitudinal streak in the interno- 

 median space. Hindwing with the two submarginal lines regalar, 

 grey, undulating, base chiefly white with transverse streaks of chestnut, 

 namely, two in the cell, two between the costal and the first subcostal 

 vein, one along the precostal vein ; and a long one from the costa 

 tapering to the submedian vein ; the white band broad. It is rather a 

 small species. 



Several males taken in the Do Donggo country, Sambawa, all above 

 2000 feet. The species is nearest L. lysanias from the Celebes, but is 

 without the rufous bands which that species has on the upperside. 



I name the butterfl.y in honour of the Rev. W. J. Holland, of 

 Pittsburgh, U. S. A., well-known as a lepidopterist. 



55. Stmph2edea aiGLE, n. sp. 



Male, above black, with some obscure ochreous-greenish spots near 

 the costa, and three in the cell (two at the end), two in the interno- 

 median space, one basal, the other further out, geminate ; a row of five 

 white subapical spots in a semicircle above the middle median vein, the 

 'second largest, then the first, the third diffused ; also a macular sub- 

 marginal band of dull bluish -whitish spots (the lower two sagittate) 

 extending from the hind margin nearly to the apex, separated by dull 



tip. In L. popuU the tip is abruptly bent downwards. In daraxa the tip is blunter 

 than in agneija, and there is a long process arising from its upper edge, longitudinal 

 and slightly ascending, set with denticles on both sides. The uncus is also shorter. 

 The loiver uncus, absent in most butterflies, is well developed in this genus, strongly 

 hooked at the tip, its point opposed to that of the true or upper uncus, which can be 

 brought into contact with it by muscular action.
