whitish as in E. cUmena, and without the conspicuous subapical white 

 band of the forewing. 



EUPIiCEA (CbASTIA ?) DEHEBEII, n. Sp. 



Male, above dark brown, with a slight violet gloss, the outer 

 margin broadly paler, not glossed. Forewing with an irregular series of 

 seven small white outer-discal spots, the first three subapical, cordate, 

 seyjarated by veins, the fourth and fifth beyond the line of the others, 

 the fifth minute, the sixth and seventh in the median spaces, distinct, 

 equal, the upper elongate ; an obscure dot near the base of the upper 

 median space. Hindwing with three good-sized white subapical inner- 

 submarginal spots, and eight or nine obscure outer-submargiual dots, 

 which do not reach the apex. Below, the cell and inner part of the 

 disc of both wings dark brown, the rest paler, with a bronzy gloss. 

 Forewing with a spot in the cell, one costal, four or five discal violet- 

 white spots, seven inner-submargiual white ones arranged as above, 

 and eight or nine outer-submarginal ones minute. Hindwing with a cell- 

 spot, a semicircle of seven inner-discal violet- white spots, and one of 

 nine or ten outer-discal ones, mostly white, some lilac ; about twelve 

 small submarginal white spots, larger than those on the forewing. 



Like my Euploea oceanis from Engano, this species has a large, 

 somewhat velvety, pale brown patch on the underside of the forewing. 

 This lies along the internal vein for more than half its length, about 

 three quarters of it lying above that vein. At the base of this there is 

 an obscure whitish patch, chiefly below the internal vein, while parallel 

 with it is an obscure longitudinal sericeous streak placed below the 

 lower median vein. The hindwing is whitish apically and costally, with 

 a pale brown area surrounding the subcostal veins, entering the cell 

 and the space below the costal vein, extending narrowly along the 

 subcostal veins three-quarters towards the margin. 



The species perhaps belongs to Mr. Moore's genus Oamatoha. I 

 took it in the mountains of Sambawa, and name it in honour of my 

 friend Heer A. C. de Heer, Controleur of Bima. 



Another species from Sambawa, belonged, I think, to the subgenus 

 Tronga, making ten Eitploeas in all from that island, some very rare. 

 Only six were taken in Sumba. At a favourable season, I believe 

 Sumba will yield a far larger number of species than I obtained 

 there.
