316 L. de Niceville — On a small collection of [No. 2, 



51. Lampides hylas, Cramer. 



Herr Ribbe recorded it (1. c, p. 249, n. 102) from Great Ceram as 

 Plebejus euchylas, Hiibner, but Cramer's name is the older. 



52. Arrhopala helius, Cramer. 

 Males only received. 



53. Arrhopala fulla, Hewitson. 



Described from Boirou [sic!]. Males only received^ 



Family PAPILIONID^J. 

 Subfamily Pierin^i. 



54. *Terias zoraide, Felder. 



Dr. A. G. Butler in Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., seventh series, 

 vol. i, p. 59, n. 4 (1898), says that T. zoraide " Ranges from Bourou 

 southwards to Australia." I have not received this species from Buru, 

 but Australian specimens appear to me to be quite the same as 

 T. libythea, Fabricius, which is much the older. Wallace records T. drona, 

 Horsfield, from Bouru, that species being a synonym of T. libythea. 

 Wallace's T. drona from Buru probably now stands in the collection of 

 the British Museum as T. zoraide. 



55. Terias Candida, Cramer. 



Recorded by Wallace from Bouru, and by Dr. Butler (1. c, p. 61, 

 n. 11 ) from Amboyna and Ceram. I have females only from Buru, 

 which agree absolutely with females from the Ke Isles. 



56. Terias biformis, Butler. 



Originally described from both sexes from Amboina. I have three 

 females only from Buru, which are creamy-white on both surfaces. It 

 is described and figured by Mr. Distant from Singapore as T. lacteola t 

 but the Malay Peninsula is not given as one of the habitats of the 

 species by Dr. Butler in his latest revision of the genus. Such white 

 females occur sporadically in India, and in my opinion are only occa- 

 sional " sports " of T. hecabe, Linnaeus. As, however, I have no yellow 

 females from Buru, I retain Dr. Butler's name for the species, which he 

 says " Ranges from Nias through Borneo eastwards to Ternate and 

 Batchian, extending south to Amboyna and Ceram, and probably 

 crossing New Guinea, to reappear in the Louisiade and Solomon 

 groups" (Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., seventh series, vol. i, p. 76, 

 n. 53 (1898). The male as described is "bright lemon-yellow" 

 coloured. Wallace probably recorded this species from Bouru as
