that Mr. Doherty on his first visit to Buru obtained both P. deiphobus, 

 Linnaeus, and P. deiphontes on that island (Nov. Zool., vol. ii, p. 326 

 (1895). I have only received three males of the former species, all of 

 which have long tails ; the latter species, which I have only from 

 Ternate and Halmahera, has no distinct tail, only a tooth. 



75. *Paptlio polytes alphenor, Cramer. 

 Not received by me. 



76. *Papilio euryptlus, Linnaeus. 

 Not received by me. 



77. *Papilio sarpedon anthedon, Felder. 



Recorded from Bouron by Boisduval as P. sarpedon, Linnaeus. 



78. Papilio agamemnon plisthenes, Felder. 



Females only received. All the species in this subfamily given 

 above have been recorded from Buru by the Hon. Walter Rothschild. 



Family HESPERIID^E. 



79. Tagiades metanga, Ribbe. 



T. neira, Plotz, var. metanga, Ribbe, Iris, vol. ii, p. 265, n. 143, pi. v, fig. 8 (1889). 

 I do not know T. neira, Plotz, which was described from the Aru 

 islands. The var. metanga was described from Great Ceram. My two 

 females agree very well with the figure of the latter. 



80. Tagiades japetus, Cramer. 



Both sexes of this widely-distributed species received. 



81. NOTOCRYPTA FEISTHAMEIill, Boisduval. 



Described as " Hesperia " feisthamelii, Boisduval, from Amboina 

 and Bourou. In the text of " Voyage de l'Astrolabe," Entomologie, 

 part 1, p. 159 (1832), the reference to the plate and figure is incorrect, 

 it should be plate iii instead of ii, and figure 6 instead of 7. The late 

 Herr C. Ribbe in Iris, vol. ii, p. 263, n. 142, pi. v ; fig. 7 (1889), describes 

 and figures what appears to be a female of this species from Great Ceram 

 as " Plesioneura " varians. My females from Buru agree exactly with 

 Herr Ribbe's figure. The " Plesioneura " chimsera of Plotz, Berl. Ent. 

 Zeitsch., vol. xxvi, p. 262, n. 4 (1882), described from " India," is also 

 a synonym. Herr G. Weymer has kindly sent me a coloured drawing 

 of a specimen of P. chimsera identified by the late Herr Plotz himself. 

 On the underside of the forewing as drawn the discal white fascia ends 

 anteriorly at the subcostal nervure as in N. restricta, Moore.
