160 W. Dolierty — The Butterflies of Sumha and Samlaroa, Sfc. [No. 2, 



first six more or less fused into a single mass, the first and sixth some- 

 times separate, the veins dark, the fourth (above the upper radial vein) 

 much the largest, the seventh and eighth (between the median branches) 

 minute. Hindwing whitish costally, unmarked. Below uniform brown, 

 fore wing with the spots reduced, those between the median veins 

 generally absent. Hindwing with 4-6 small inner-submarginal spots 

 subapically, the last minute. 



Sumba, coast and interior. It seems quite distinct. 



Salpinx (Calliplcea) sambavana, n. sp. 



Above, forewing with seven large lilac spots centred with white, 

 the second and last largest, the upper ones sometimes slightly connected, 

 Hindwing" with several lilac spots subapically. Below both wings 

 with two nearly complete submarginal series of small and delicate white 

 spots, the outer ones minute and not extending to the apex. 



Sambawa, one of the numerous local forms of this group. A very 

 distinct species, G. Tiyems, Butler, occurs in Timor. 



I have noticed that both G. sumhana and G. samhavana are occasion- 

 ally found with the first subcostal vein united to the costal one, showing 

 at the same time the relations this group has with Hestia, and the small 

 value of classifications based wholly in venation. 



3. Stictoplcba melolo, n. sp. 



Male, above rich dark brown, with blue reflections over all the 

 forewing except the extreme outer margin ; four lilac spots, sometimes 

 centred with white, form a narrow subapical mass, the fourth well 

 separated, generally a fifth below it, and occasionally a sixth. In the 

 male the sex marks vary ; in the specimen before me, the upper one is 

 shorter than the lower, and only half as broad. Hindwing with two, 

 sometimes three, subapical spots. Beloio rich brown, darker at the end 

 of the cell and on the disc beyond it ; a distinct white spot bordered with 

 lilac at the end of the cell, and two near it in the median spaces ; 

 g-enerally traces of a few other dots, especially subapically on the hind- 

 wing. The semicircle of spots beyond the cell of the hindwing is re- 

 presented by obscure darker touches. The female is much paler. 



Sumba, common ; one of the numerous local forms of this genus. 



4. Stictopl(ea laco^dairei, Moore. 



Sumba, common. The species was described from Java. 



EUPLCBA (TeePSICHEOIS) CONGO, n. sp. 

 Male, above, forewing outwardly shining bhie, basally blue-black, 

 with two rows of pale blue submarginal spots, the outer of about eight
