 In the figure the forewing has been drawn much too shoi't. 



DaNAIS (NaSUMA) HARgHASA, n. sp. 



Male, forewing extremely long and falcate, deep fuscous above ; 

 a long obscure reddish streak extends along the lower part of the cell, 

 another more distinct, lighter in colour, and enlarged outwardly, in the 

 interno-median space ; a third, obscure, between the lower median 

 veins ; a small round discal whitish spot in each of the spaces below 

 the upper radial vein, the second a little nearer the base than the 

 others are ; two small whitish spots, one on each side of the lower 

 radial vein, are sometimes present (especially in the female) just beyond 

 the cell. Hindwing with discal streak of pale brown, slender and 

 rather obscure, a larger one in the cell : two rows of white submarginal 

 spots, the outer subanal only, minute, the inner obsolescent near the 

 median veins. Below dark brown, the apex of the forewing rufous, the 

 pale reddish markings of the forewing somewhat larger, those of the 

 hindwing larger and dull leaden- white in colour, reddish only at their 

 truncate tips, the submarginal series complete and nearly equal. 

 Forewing with the whitish discal spots larger, those just beyond the 

 cell distinct. An additional white spot is present near the apex, and a 

 row of outer-submarginal dots increasing towards the lower angle, an 

 inner-submarginal series confined to the apex. In the female three or 

 four of the outer-submarginal dots are sometimes visible above. In the 

 male the sex-mark is somewhat less prominent than in D. genutia. 



Sambawa, 1000—2500 feet, scarce. When on the wing it somewhat 

 resembles an undescribed Euploea found there. 



T^earest Danais ismare from the Moluccas, but having the markings 

 of the upperside reddish instead of white, and much reduced in size and 

 number. 



11. Danais (NAauMA) taimanu, n. sp. 



Female. It obviously differs from the preceding species in the 

 presence of a broad quadrate white discal band on the foi-ewing, between 

 the first subcostal and the upper median vein, in six pieces separated 

 only by slender dark veins ; below this there is one or sometimes two 

 very small white spots. The submarginal spots are all obsolescent 

 except one or two at the apex of the hindwing. The basal marks on 

 the forewing are very indistinct, and merely paler not reddish, that in 

 the cell absent. The discal marks on the hindwing are wholly un- 

 defined, resembling a large pale area, broken by dark veins. Below, 

 there are generally one or two dots beyond the end of the cell, and also 

 a few minute ones at the apex, one between the lower subcostal veins
