164 W. Doherty — -^The Butterflies of Siimha and Sanibawa, Sfo. [No. 2, 



spot at the end of the cell absent, the black border of the hind wing 

 broader than in Indian specimens, and inwardly diffused. 



9. Danais (Salatura) genutta, Cramer. 



Sumba, Sambawa. My Sumba specimens are somewhat inter- 

 mediate between genutia and the Javanese B. intensa. There is only 

 one submarginal line of spots on the hind wing above, the small subapical 

 spots are nearly obsolete on the forewing above, and below, the red 

 area in the upper median space is present or absent. The general 

 colour is not so dark as in intensa and the species larger. 



10. Danais (Salatura) litoralis, n. sp. PI. II, fig. 4, underside. 

 Male, above black, a narrow pale ferruginous band in the cell, a 



much larger one occupying most of the interno-median space, and 

 another in the lower m.edian space, extending much further outwardly, 

 slightly irrorated with white scales in the middle ; a narrow oblique 

 white subapical macular band from the costa, the spot above the upper 

 median vein much beyond the line of those above it ; one below it, 

 large ; three costal marks, a dot beyond the end of the cell, five margi- 

 nal and three submarginal spots in the median spaces, one apical and 

 one at the lower angle, all white. Hindwing black, a broad quadrate 

 white band across the disc, and the end of the cell as far as the lower 

 subcostal vein, scarcely reaching the submedian scent-gland, continued 

 outwardly by obscure ferruginous rays, the veins there widely black, an 

 outer row of submai-ginal white spots, with two inner ones subapically. 

 Selow, forewing with the ferruginous cell-striga obsolescent, two rows 

 of minute submarginal spots subapically. Hindwing with two complete 

 rows of submarginal white spots, aud a few costal ones, including one 

 basally along the lower side of the costal vein, the white area more 

 broken, its discal spots outwardly incised, the cell-spot occupying two- 

 fifths of the cell ; most of the disc, including the base of the cell and 

 the costal and subcostal spaces, ferruginous, edged with black ; the 

 veins all dark, the submedian and internal veins black bordered with 

 white for most of their length ; the outer black border glossed with 

 chocolate-brown. 



Nearest Danais ahigar (cMonippe) from the Philippines, figured by 

 Mr. Distant from Province Wellesley, Malay Peninsula, though that 

 locality seems to me rather dubious. It differs in the smaller ferru- 

 ginous area on the forewing and smaller white area on the hindwing. 

 From D. fulgurata, afinis, aruana, etc., it differs in the absence of white 

 in the interno-median space of the forewing. 



Sumba, scarce. An apparently identical form is common on the 

 dry coast of Sambawa.
