3. Danais (Tirumala) gautamoides, n. sp, 



d", $ . Differs from gautama, Moore (Arakan, Chittagong, and Tenas- 

 serim),.in tlie whiter hyaline markings, all obscurely edged with dark on 

 the underside, and in the deeper brown of the underside. The hyaline 

 mark at the base of the cell of the fore wing is bifid as in gautama, but 

 the upper branch is the shortest, and is remote from the mark at the end 

 ©f the cell, the latter being shaped as in septentrionis^ but less oblique. 

 The cell of the hind wing is usually cleft in three parts by slender black 

 lines. Expanse 82 millimetres. 



Apparently an insular representative of gautama ; somewhat transi=- 

 tional to Umniace,. Common in the Southern Nicobars — Great and Little 

 Nicobar and Kondul. It seems to be mimicked by Badena nicoharica^. 

 Wood- Mason and de Nice ville, which I have often taken in company 

 with it. The closely allied Umniace is common in Kar Nicobar, Teressa^ 

 Bompoka, Camorta, and Nancowry,. but I have never found it in the 

 southern islands of the group, vfhere gautamoides abounds»

4 Mtcalesis (Virapa) manii, n. sp. 



? . Fuscous, white band of the forewing wider than in any allied' 

 species, and almost crossing the apex. Hind wing unmarked except by 

 two submarginal lines obscurely darker. Beloiu^dlev brown, a broad 

 dull violet band across disc of hind wing, unmarked with white, its inner 

 border nearly straight. This band is obscurely visible on the lower 

 part of the forewing, not extending to the white band, below the 

 white band one large ocellus, above it two apical ocelli set obliquely, 

 the upper many times the larger, the ochreous rings of the two confluent. 

 Mindwing with seven ocelli, the fourth blurred, the third smallest, 

 the fifth as large as all the others united. Margin with an ochreous 

 brown, and an obscure violet line bordered by dark lines. Cilia dark. 

 The absence of the ocellus on the forewing above, and the violet band" 

 of the underside unmarked with white distinguish manii from the 

 female of the Andamanese radza. From the female of the wet-season 

 brood of anaxias (India) it differs on the underside in the uniform 

 paler and more ochreous brown of the base ; in the great breadth of the 

 white band which extends almost to the end of the cell ; in the very 

 unequal ocelli^ in the absence of the lilac gloss discally and submargin- 

 ally ; and in the darker apex, and obsolescent discal band of the fore- 

 wing. Expanse 57 millimetres. 



One female, Gonyi,. Great Nicobar ; two females, Ikuya, Little 

 Nicobar ; male not taken.
