most of the white markings larger. The basal cell-streak is short and 

 dusky, the outer one large, upright, the upper part projecting like the 

 lower, a slender streak above it. The two series of subapical streaks of 

 juventa are in kambera united into three very long white strig^, that 

 between the radial veins being nearly half an inch in length ; all are 

 incised outwardly ; the inner-submarginal spots are large. Hindwing 

 with the dark streak in the cell-spot continued to the end of the cell, 

 slightly forked in the middle. Below, the light markings are not yellow- 

 ish and greenish as in B. juventa, but pure white with a slight lilac 

 gloss. 



A very distinct species, not very common in Sumba. 



In Sambawa there are two species of Badena, both I think distinct 

 local forms. One, which appears to be the representative of B. vulgaris, 

 is common everywhere ; the other is very close to the Javanese B. juventa, 

 and is confined to the higher country, though I have taken it as low as 

 1600 feet. I have now no specimens of either species, and am unable 

 to compare them with their allies. 



Family SATTRID^. 



17. Lethe huropa, Fab. 



A female, Sumba, 2000 feet ; another, Sambawa, 4000 feet, both 

 resembling Java specimens. 



18. Mycalesis (Orsotei^na) medus, Fab. 

 Sumba, Sambawa, common in meadows. 



19. Mycalesis (Calysisme) perseus. Fab. 



The wet-season, ocellate brood prevailed in Sumba till the middle 

 of March, when the non-ocellate form (hlasius) took their place. In 

 Sambawa, the latter brood had already began to appear in the middle 

 of April, but a long succession of heavy rains exterminated them, and 

 the ocellate form reappeared and continued in exclusive possession till 

 the latter part of May. 



20. Mycalesis (Jatana) wayewa, n. sp. 



Female, above dark brown, a small ocellus on the forewing between 

 the lower median branches. Hindwing outwardly whitish, gradually 

 darkening inwardly, with two submarginal dark lines, a small ocellus 

 between the lower median branches. Below, dark brown, slightly 

 rufous, not perceptibly striate ; a median transverse whitish line, angled 

 at the upper median and above the submedian vein ; beyond this the 

 wing is much paler, with a rather small ocellus above the upper radial
