Bali, Sambawa, Sumba (Doherty), Lombok (Fruhstorfer). Mr. de 

 Niceville has this from Bali, Lombok and Sumba only. A single male 

 of A. penthesilea exsanguis, Fruhstorfer, received from Mr. Fruhstorfer 

 and taken by him at Ekas, Lombok, in May, 1896, is practically insepar- 

 able from two male specimens from Sumba, also received from the same 

 gentleman, and the typical form from Java. Cramer's figure appears 

 to be slightly exagerated, the white subapical hand on the upperside 

 of the fore wing being rather wider than in any Javan specimens in our 

 collections.

85. Cethosia narmadoides, de Niceville, n. sp. 

 Habitat : Bali (Doherty). 



Expanse : cT, 2*9 and 3*2 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings differ from the same 

 sex of G. narmada, Fruhstorfer, from Lombok, in having the outer 

 marginal black areas much narrower, thus leaving the discal and basal 

 red areas much larger, occupying the whole of the discoid al cell in the 

 forewing instead of the posterior half only ; and in the hindwing leaving 

 quite free the outer discal series of round black spots, instead of extending 

 right up to and more or less including them. Forewing has the sub- 

 apical oblique series of markings reddish-ochreous instead of whitish, 

 much larger and more numerous than in G. narmada, in the latter the an- 

 terior of the three subapical spots is widely separated from ihe two 

 posterior ones. Underside, both wings have the ground-colour much 

 paler, in G. narmada it is heavily suffused with black ; the discal pale 

 ochreous band is much broader in the present species. Female un- 

 known. 



The figure of G. narmada does not agree with the specimens of that 

 species in de Niceville's collection received from and named by Fruhs- 

 torfer. Instead of having on the upperside of the forewing three sub- 

 apical spots only, there is a nearly complete series as in G. narmadoides ;
