In that case it bears much the same relationship to aphnius as Mycalesis 

 wayewa does to the Timorese M. mynois, the orange band of the hind- 

 wing of T. aphnius being absent. 



Mr. de Niceville has shown me that the true Yphthima philomela of 

 Johanssen has no sex-mark. Since that is the case, the Indian form will 

 stand, I suppose, as Y. baldus. 



23. Melanitis constantia, Cram. 



Sumba, Sambawa, not uncommon on the dry coast. A Sumba 

 female before me has the ochreous band narrow and irregular, almost 

 attaining the costa and the lower angle, its outer border undefined, with 

 three obscure ocelli (the first chiefly white, the last nearly all dark), 

 the outer border with three indentations, and projecting acutely in- 

 wardly along the lower median vein. Hindwing with two ocelli, the 

 apical border narrowly ochreous. Below, the ocelli are rather small, 

 the aspect that of M. leda, the wet-season form. 



24. Melanitis leda, Linnaeus. 



The dry-season brood (ismene) appeared in Sumba in the middle 

 of March, in Sambawa in the middle of May ; till that date the ocellate 

 brood held the field. 



Family ELYMNIAD^. 



Elymnias undularis, Drury. 

 Sambawa, low country, not differing from Java specimens. No 

 Elymnias is known from Sumba or Timor. 



Family MORPFID^. 



A Biscophora (timora, "Wallace) has been found in Timor, but I saw 

 none of the family either in Sumba or Sambawa. 



Family BYBLIAD^. 



25. Ergolis ARIADNE, Linn. 



Sumba, Sambawa, not differing from the Indian form, hardly so 

 small and dark as the Javanese. I believe E. merione also occurs in 

 Sambawa. 



Family APATURID^. 



26. Cyntria deione, Erich. 



A single male, Sixmba, interior. Common in Sambawa, where the 

 females vary to a remarkable extent, some being as red as the male,
