vein, a large one above and a small one below the lower median vein ; 

 a marginal line and two wavy, dark submarginal ones. Hindwing with 

 the outer half whitish, the dark area very sharply outlined, projecting 

 ovitwardly above the upper median vein ; seven ocelli nearly in line, the 

 first, fourth, and fifth large, subequal, the second and seventh minute ; 

 beyond this are two wavy submarginal and marginal dark lines. 



The male is darker and more uniform, the ocelli less marked, with 

 a golden-brown sex-mark (as in if. mineus) on the submedian vein of 

 the forewing, and a large subcostal ochreous tuft, the subcostal vein and 

 its upper branch, slightly swollen around its bifurcation. The prehensors 

 and sex-marks agree with those of Calysisme and so does its venation, 

 except in the point mentioned. 



This species occurs both in Sumba and in Sambawa, confined in 

 both to the higher and damper regions. It is apparently the local 

 representative of Mycalesis mynois, Hewitson from Timor, but lacks the 

 conspicuous white band of that species. I also suspect it to be the local 

 representative of M. mineus, but without a more elaborate study of 

 the prehensors I cannot well prove it. Mycalesis mynois is the type of 

 Mr. Moore's genus Jatana, the raison d'etre of which I have not been 

 able to discover. 



21. Yphthima asterope, Klug. 



Sumba only, found in the driest plains. It is worth remarking that 

 this species has prehensors precisely like those of Y. pandocus, the size 

 and habits of which are so different, while the markings are nearly 

 identical. 



22. Yphthima leuce, n. sp. 



A local form of Y. pTiilomela. The forewing has a large, conspicu- 

 ous, whitish sex-mark, and an ocellus as in pTiilomela ; the hindwing has 

 the cilia white, and the outer and abdominal region grey, with two large 

 blue-pupilled ocelli and two minute anal ones. Below ; the strias are 

 very irregular ; the forewing has a whitish discal band partly inclosing 

 the large ocellus, and extending to the hind-margin ; there is a sub- 

 marginal dark band, the apex and costa are dark. Hindwing chiefly 

 white, the disc being free from striae over a considerable area, and 

 elsewhere they are very delicate and irregular, forming an obscure 

 transverse fascia, crossing the cell near its end, and a continuous, slen- 

 der submarginal line. The six ocelli are in pairs, as in Y. pJiilomela or 

 sepyra, all black, pupilled with blue, and with large ochreous irides. 



This species is found in Sumba and Sambawa. It may also be 

 allied to Y. aphnius (Timor) of which only the dry- season form is known.
