 Family LYO^NID^. 

 Subfamily THECLINM. 



58. Arhopala aeaxes, Feld. 



Sumba, coast. A local Celebesian form of A. amantes, but appa- 

 rently distinct. 



Flos apidanus, Hew., var, 

 Sambawa, 3000 feet. 



Sdrendra quercetoeum, Moore. 

 Sambawa, coast. 



Subfamily APHJY^INJS. 



Iraota timoleon, Stoll. 

 Sambawa. I am almost inclined to think this species a mimic of 

 the white species of Neptis ; the resemblance is sometimes quite striking, 

 and at any rate the varmona group of Neptis is partially protected. 



69. CuRETis MALAYiCA, Feld., var. kiritana. 



Male black, the red area scarcely extending above the middle 

 median vein, the hind margin dark. Hindwing with the end of the 

 cell and the disc from the subcostal vein to about the lower median, 

 red or reddish, the abdominal and costal margins very widely, the outer 

 margin more narrowly black. 



Sumba, Sambawa, scarce. This is, I think, the darkest Curetis 

 known. Dr. Felder's G. obscura, described as a male, being really a 

 female. 



60. Hypolycjina sipylus, Feld. 



Sumba, Sambawa. This is near Dr. Felder's H. tJiecloides, but the 

 lower part of the hindwing above is bluish, not ochreous. 



61. LOXDRA ATYMNUS, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa. Two or three more species of the ApTinceince 

 were taken in Sumba, but the specimens are now lost. 



Subfamily DEUDOBIGINM 



62. Rapala iaebas. Fab. 

 Sumba, Sambawa, mountains. 



Rapala orseis, Hew. 

 Sambawa, 1,500 ft., a male and a female. ^-
