544 L. de Niceville — Little-Known Butterflies from the [No. 3, 



wing; a spot at the end of the cell, and five just beyond the cell, all 

 of nearly equal size, small, rounded, pale violet ; a submarginal apical 

 series of three small rounded white spots ; and a marginal apical series 

 of five small round white dots. Female, differs only from the male in 

 sexual characters, the inner margin of the forewing is straight instead 

 of being slightly outwardly bowed ; with, on the underside, a white 

 streak in the middle of the submedian interspace. 



Mr. Doherty* thus refers to this species under Euploea (Crastia 

 or Vadebra) palmedo, Doherty : — " An allied form occurs in Sambawa, 

 with the margins broadly whitish as in E. [Vadebra] climena, Cramer 

 [from Amboina and Ceram], and without the conspicuous subapical white 

 band of the forewing" of E. palmedo. The species is nearest to Vadebra 

 macleari, Butler,f from which it appears to differ in having the outer 

 margin- of the hind wing on the upperside much less broadly white, and 

 of a dirty-white instead of " snow-white" shade, with no apical white 

 spots, in E. macleari there are seven spots in two series, two and five ; 

 on the underside the outer white area differs as above. From Vadebra 

 sepulchralis, Butlet-,J it appears to differ in having on the underside of 

 the hindwing a continuous dirty-white marginal area, in that species 

 this area is broken up into narrow elongated white spots between the 

 veins. E. sobrina, Rober, from Goram, and E. neptis, Rober, from 

 Flores (Tijd. voor Ent., vol. xxxiv, p. 297 (1891), are probably allied 

 species, but in the absence of figures it is impossible to say if this is 

 so with certainty from the short descriptions given of them. 



Described from a male taken by Mr. W. Doherty in the low 

 country of Bali in April, 1896, and two pairs captured by Herr H. 

 Fruhstorfer at 2,000 feet elevation at Sapit in Lombok in May and 

 June, 1896. The specimen figured is from Bali.
