and on the hind wing the outer discal series of black spots is free of the 

 marginal black band, thereby agreeing with G. narmadoidcs, instead of 

 being absorbed in the band. Mr. de Niceville will figure the species in a 

 later paper. It is described from two male specimens taken by Mr. W. 

 Doherty in the low country of Bali in April, 1896. Mr. Fruhstorfer 

 writes to de Niceville that he has " Just received from Sambawa a typical 

 C. narmada, and that it is found in that island with C. tambora, 

 Doherty, while Lombok has only one species. 0. cyane, var. sambawa, 

 Pagenstecher, from Sumba, is very distinct on both surfaces from either 

 of the above-named species. I have it also from Kalao, the small island 

 near Tanah-Djampea between Celebes and Flores. G. sambana has on 

 the upperside of the forewing a very large subapical band instead of a 

 small one as in 0. tambora and a narrow one in G. narmada, and has on 

 the underside of the hindwing a submarginal orange-yellow band instead 

 of a black one in G. tambora and a brownish one in G. narmada" In the 

 absence of specimens or good coloured figures of all these 'species, it is 

 exceedingly difficult to identify them. 



86. Cethosia tambora, Doherty. 



Sambawa, and doubtfully from Sumba (Doherty). In Dr. Pagen- 

 stecher's first paper he records this species and gives a very full descrip- 

 tion of it as G. cyane, Drury, var. sumbana, from Sumba. In his second 

 paper, p. 137, n. 62, he records it from Sumba and Sambawa correctly as 

 G. tambora, and figures a female (not a male, as stated by him), the sex 

 described by Doherty. Mnles of G. tambora from Sambawa in our 

 collections differ from this figure in having the subapical ochreous band 

 on the upperside of the forewing narrower, and the marginal black 

 band on the upperside of the hindwing also much narrower. G. tam- 

 bora is a very distinct species, the blue-black and ochreous- white colora- 

 tion of the underside being quite remarkable. We have seen no speci- 

 mens from Sumba. Should that local race be distinct, Dr. Pagenstecher's 

 name 0. sumbana can be applied to it. See No. 85 ante. 



87. *Cynthta dejone, Erichson. 



Sambawa, Sumba (Doherty as G. deione, sic!). This is probably a 

 wrong identification, as far as we know G. dejone is confined to the 

 Philippine Isles. Mr. Doherty has the following note regarding this 

 species : " A single male, Sumba, interior. Common in Sambawa, 

 where the females vary to a remarkable extent, some being as red as 

 the male, while others are dark green insects like Parthenos. Interme- 

 diate forms are common." Dr. Pagenstecher in his second paper records 

 the species as 0. arsinoe, Cramer, which is quite a distinct species from 

 the Moluccas and New Guinea. See the next species, No. 88.
