1898.] Butterflies from Buru in the Moluccas. 315 



45. Doleschallia crameri, Distant. 



Mr. W. L. Distant has so renamed Cramer's figure of "Papilio" 

 polibete from Amboyna, Ex. Lep., vol. iii, pi. ccxxxv, figs. C, D, male 

 (1779). My Bum specimens agree very well with this figure, except 

 that the spots on the upperside of the hind wing are black, the posterior 

 one sometimes with a white pupil, instead of blue as figured. 



Family LYC^NID^E. 



46. Gerydcs leos, Guerin. 



Both sexes of this species are described, and the female is figured, 

 from Bourou, as " Simosthus " leos. On the plate the generic name is 

 written " Symethis." I have one male only from Buru, but both sexes 

 from South Celebes. It seems to be quite a distinct species, and has 

 been described by Doherty from Sumba and Samba wa as Gerydus teos 

 in Journ. A. S. B., vol. lx, pt. 2, p. 185, n. 92 (1891). 



47. Gerydus ceramensis, Ribbe. 



Miletus chinensis, var. ceramensis, Ribbe, Iris, vol. ii, p. 247, n. 95, pi. v (nee i), 

 fig. 2, female (1889) ; Gerydus boisduvalii [sio !], Moore, var. acragas, Doherty, 

 Journ. A. S. B., vol. lx, pt. 2, p. 186, n. 93 (1891). 



Described by Herr C. Ribbe from South and East Celebes, Ambon, 

 Saigun, Buru and Borneo. I have both sexes from Buru. The female 

 agrees exactly with the figure of G. ceramensis, both sexes with the 

 description of G. acragas, so there is but little doubt that the two species 

 are synonymous. G. acragas was described from Sumba and Sambawa, 

 and I have recorded it under this name from the Ke Isles, vide p. 263, 

 n. 44, ante. 



48. Pithecops dionisius, Boisduval. 



Common in Buru. The late Herr C. Ribbe recorded it in Iris, 

 vol. ii, p. 250, n. 105 (1889) from Great Ceram as Pltbejus [sic!] 

 dionysius [sic !] ; Dr. A. Pagenstecher in Jahr. des Nass. Ver. fur 

 Natur., vol. xxxvii, p. 192 (1884) from Amboina as Cupido dionisus 

 [sic!]. 



49. Lampides aratus, Cramer. 

 Buru specimens are quite typical. 



50. Lampides elpis, Godart. 



Males only received.
