372 W. Doherty — The Butterflies of 8umba and Samhawa, SfC. [No. 2, 



almost precisely intermediate between C. nivea and G. thyodamas. To 

 indicate their affinities would require a long description. They seem 

 near Mr. Wallace's G. nais from Timor, hut without better specimens I 

 cannot be sure o£ their position. 



Symbrenthia hippoclus,* Cram. 

 Samhawa, none taken. 



82. Pyramris cardui, Linn. 

 Dry meadows, Sumba. 



33. JUNONIA ATLITES, Joh. 



Sumba, Sambawa. 



34. JuNONiA ASTBRiE, Linn, var., sumbj:. 



Above, the subapical ocellus is indistinct, merged in the black band 

 from the costa ; the lower ocellus is large and set in a black patch. On 

 the hind wing the lower ocellus is much larger than in Indian specimens 

 of asterie, and is marked like the upper one. Beloio, the forewing has 

 only two ocelli, the upper pair on the hindwing are more perfectly 

 merged into one, the black transverse lines are replaced by diffused 

 pale reddish ones; the hindwing has three pale bands across it. 



Sumba, Sambawa, common. It is merely an extreme form of the 

 Java variety {J. javana, Felder), which connects it with the typical In- 

 dian one, differing chiefly on the underside. 



The non-ocellate form, /. almana, probably conspecific with asterie, 

 was not taken. 



35. JUNONIA VELLIDA, Eab. 



The npperside agrees with Godart's description. The underside is 

 rather brilliantly marked with black or fuscous wavy lines on a pale 

 grey ground, a reddish submarginal band, the hindwing with five ocelli, 

 of which only the second and fifth are distinct, pupilled with bluish. 



This pretty little species occurred only^ on the desert plains of 

 Sumba, and seemed to be rare. 



36. JuNONiA AONis, Linn. 



The markings of the forewing are rather fuscescent than fulvous 

 except the ocelli, of which only two are distinct, the lower small and 

 attached to the upper. On the hindwing the second of the five ocelli 



* In Eastern Java I found that the female of this butterfly was dimorphic, one 

 form having the yellow spots replaced by white ones, so that it resembled a white 

 Neptis instead of a yellow one. No intermediate forms were seen.
