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



the opposite sexes very similarly coloured, usually the male is tawny 

 and the female green, with a broad discal white area : in the female of 

 0. cycnia there is no trace of either of these colours. In fact, as far as 

 coloration goes, the female is very similar to the male of C. saloma, de 

 Niceville. 



Described from two males and two females received from Herr 

 Georg Semper and Herr Heinrich Kiilin. 



P. 8. — Since the above was put into type, I have received a pair of 

 G. erota austrosunda, Fruhstorfer (vide Berl. Ent. Zeitsch., vol. xlii, p. 

 (1897), from Lambok, to which species G. cycnia is very nearly allied. 

 The male differs from that species in having the narrow discal black 

 line on the underside of the forewing quite straight instead of irregular ; 

 and the female differs in having the discal band on the forewing con- 

 siderably broader. 



5. Apatura pagenstecherii, n. sp. 



A. parvata, Pagenstecher (nee Moore), in Kiilcenthal's Ergeb. Zool. Forsch. Moluk- 

 ken und Borneo, p. 402, n. 181, pi. xx, fig. 3, female (1897). 



Habitat: Celebes (Donggola). 



Expanse : 2 , 2-6 inches. 



Description: Female. I propose to rename after Dr. Arnold 

 Pagenstecher the species of Apatura he has identified and figured from 

 Celebes in the work cited above. A. parvata, Moore, was described from 

 " N. India," and a male was figured. It occurs somewhat rarely in 

 Sikkim, Bhutan, and the Khasi Hills, while Mr. Henley Grose Smith 

 has recorded it, probably erroneously, from Sumatra. The female of 

 A . pagenstecherii differs from the same sex of A . parvata in its considerably 

 larger size, all the markings being much more conspicuous, especially 

 the discal band across both wings, which is pure white as figured in 

 A. pagenstecherii and ferruginous in A. parvata ; in the former there is a 

 submarginal series of fuscous lunules, placed ontwardly against a 

 whitish submarginal line, in the latter the lunules are replaced by oval 

 spots, and the whitish submarginal line is entirely absent. Superfi- 

 cially A. pngentecherii is more similar to A. (Bohana) nakula, Moore, 

 from Java and Bali, but a comparison between Dr. Pagenstecher's and 

 my figures* will disclose at once the many points in which they differ. 



6. Neptts (Phsedyma) nectens, n. sp., Plate I, Fig. 3, ? . 

 Habitat : Ke Islands. 



Expanse : 9 , 2*7 inches. 



Description: Female. Uppersipe, both wings deep black, with 

 brillant pure white markings. Foreiving with a clavate streak in the 



* Journ Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc, vol. ix, p. 262, pi. N, fig. 6, female (1895).
