Originally described from the Ke Isles, where it appears to be a 

 common species on all the islands. 



117. *Padraona sunias, Felder. 



Dr. Butler records this species with a query from Ke Dulan. It 

 was originally described from Amboina, but has not been figured. We 

 have not been able to recognise it from the description only. Messrs. 

 Elwes and Edwards place it as a synonym with a query of Telicota 

 [Padraona] dara, Kollar (Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond., vol. xiv, p. 254 

 (1897). 



118. * Padraona mjisa, Moore. 



Rober as Pamphila msesa. We have no species of the genus from 

 the Ke Archipelago which agrees with P. msesa. 



119. Padraona, sp. 1. 



Habitat : Little Ke Isle. 



Expanse : d\ 1*4 ; 2 , 1*5 inches. 



Description: Male. Upperside, both wings black, with a slight 

 purplish gloss ; all the markings yellow; cilia yellow. Forewing with 

 a short costal streak from the base of the wing ; a similar streak in the 

 discoidal cell ; the space between these two streaks slightly irrorated 

 with yellow scales ; three conjoined subapical elongated dots, of equal 

 length, the middle one placed slightly nearer the base of the wing than 

 the others ; four obliquely-placed discal spots, the anteriormost in the 

 lower discoidal interspace small and quadrate, the second spot occupying 

 the base of the second median interspace, its outer end excavated, the 

 third spot larger than the second, occupying the middle of the first 

 median interspace, its outer end excavated, the fourth spot crossing the 

 middle of the submedian interspace, quadrate, its outer end excavated, 

 its inner side not in a line with the spot anterior to it, being placed 

 nearer the outer margin ; from the posterior inner angle of this last- 

 named spot runs a line of yellow scales along the submedian nervure to 

 the base of the wing ; a streak in the sutural area, its outer end in a line 

 with the outer edge of the spot anterior to it. Hindiving with a rather 

 small indistinct clump of setae at the base ; a discal transverse band, 

 with even edges, and of equal breadth throughout, occupying the middle 

 of the wing ; some yellow setas in the submedian interspace. Under- 

 side, both wings with all the veins narrowly black; a narrow black 

 antcciliary line, ending on the hindwing at the first median nervule. 

 Forevnng black, but the costa and apex to just posterior to the first
