1898.] L. de Niceville— List of the Butterflies of the Ke Isles. 259 



22. Cethosia lamarckii, Godart. 



Occurs only on Tiandoe and Koer Islets, not found on Great and 

 Little Ke Isles. 



23. Cynthia ctcnia, de Niceville. 



C. cycnia, de Niceville, Journ. A. S. B., vol. lxvi, pt. 2, p. 547, n. 4, pi. iii, 

 figs. 19, male ; 20, female (1897). 



Little and Great Ke. Single specimens are occasionally caught 

 on flowers. 



24. Precis ida, Cramer. 



Rober. Very common on all the islands all the year round. 



25. Precis zelima, Fabricius. 



Kiihn has sent one male specimen of this species to de Niceville. In 

 the collection of the latter are several examples of both sexes from 

 Mackay in North Australia, with which the one from the Ke Isles 

 agrees exactly. The species may be known from P. ida, Cramer, by 

 having on the underside of the hind wing a decreasing series of two, 

 three, or four creamy- white spots commencing on the middle of the 

 costa posterior to the costal nervure. It is a little doubtful in 

 de Niceville's opinion if this character is really of specific value, as in 

 the common P. iphita, Cramer, of India, the same variation is of fre- 

 quent occurrence. 



26. Junonia expansa, Butler. 



Precis expansa, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1883, p. 367, n. 5. 



Rober as /. erigone, Cramer. Described from females from Larat 

 in the Timor Laut Islands. In the Ke Isles it is rather variable, the 

 tone of the ground-colour of both wings on both surfaces being much 

 darker in some specimens than in others. The male is much darker 

 coloured than the female, especially so on the underside. In Little 

 and Great Ke it is very common all the year round. 



27. *Jononia orithyia, Linnaeus. 



Rober as J. orithya [sic!]. This is we think a very doubtful 

 record ; at any rate it will not be the typical form of the species which 

 is found in the Ke Isles. 



28. Junonia villida, Fabricius. 



Very rare on Little and Great Ke.
