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



82. Telicota bambusje, Moore. 



The male specimens from Bum have the sexual brand on the 

 upperside of the forewing very prominent, whitish and shining. The 

 late Herr C. Ribbe sent me a female of this species from Ceram named 

 " Pamphila " ahrendti, Plotz, and under this name the species stands 

 in Iris, vol. ii, p. 261, n. 136 (1889). It was originally described as 

 "Hesperia" ahrendti from Manila in the Philippines, but is not 

 mentioned in Herr Georg Semper's " Schmetterlinge Philippinischen 

 Inseln." On 1. c. pi. v, fig. 5, Herr Ribbe figures a Pamphila arendti 

 [sic], but this figure does not in the least agree with T. bambusae. 



83. Telicota augias, Linnaeus. 



Males only received. The discal oblique black fascia bearing the 

 sexual brand on the upperside of the forewing is unusually narrow in 

 these specimens, consequently the golden-yellow band beyond is un- 

 usually broad. 



84. Telicota (Padraona) prusias, Felder. 



Females only received, which agree exactly with specimens of the 

 same sex in my collection from the Philippines and Celebes. 



85. Telicota (Padraona) palmarum, Moore. 



Males only received. These specimens do not agree with Felder's 

 figure of " Pamphila " augiades, male, from Amboina. That species, 

 which I have never succeeded in obtaining, is very closely allied to 

 T. palmarum. 



86. Ocybadistes marnas, Felder. 



My male specimens from Bum and Waigiou (Waijiu or Waigeu) 

 agree very well with Messrs. Elwes and Edwards' description of " Pam- 

 phila" marnas, Felder (described originally from Amboina), in Trans. 

 Zool. Soc. Lond., Zoology, vol. xiv, p. 256 (1897). Messrs. Elwes and 

 Edwards ignore Mr. Heron's genus Ocybadistes, although it was described 

 in 1894, and place the present species in the genus Telicota, though Capt. 

 Watson pointed out in 1893 that P. marnas and some other species 

 were not true Telicotas. 



87. Baoris (Ohapra) mathias, Fabricius. 



My male specimens from Bum have no translucent spots whatever 

 in the forewing, though the usual discal spots appear on the underside 

 but are opaque, while the females are normal.
