376 A NATURALIST'S WANDERINGS 



From the above, however, -we may deduct the wide-ranging species 

 Caiochrysops paidla, Lampide.s alianus, Lagoptera honesta, and Hymenia 

 fascialis, which leaves us 5 Timor types, 3 Australian, ,2 Amboina, 2 New 

 Guinea, 1 Aru, 1 Lifu, 2 Javan, 1 Indian. The last of these, however, is 

 equally characteristic of the Malayan fauna, as also is that from Poly- 

 nesia ; these two forms, therefore, may be regarded as doubtful, which 

 will leave the relative proportions of the species as follows : — Indo- 

 Malayan 2, Austro-Malayan 10, Australian 3. The only surprising 

 fact in this distribution is the preponderance of Timor over Aru or 

 iNew-Guinea forms, the species characteristic of that island being only 

 equalled by those from Aru, New-Guinea and Amboina combined. .

1. Chanapa sacerdos, Butler; loc. sup. cit. PL XXXVIII. Fig. 7. 

 Nearly allied to C. lewinii of Australia; the wings much blacker, 



the primaries of the male velvet-black, the white spots on the primaries 

 decidedly larger, the sericeous brand on the male of twice the length : 

 secondaries with the discal series of white spots more regular, nearer 

 to outer margin, and not notched as in C. lewinii ; the submarginal 

 spots clearer and arranged more regularly. Expanse of wings, $ 78 mm., 

 ? 71 mm. 

 Larat. 



2. Calliplcea visenda, Butler; lo;. sup. cifc. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 1. 

 Allied to 0. hyems (arishe, Fid.) from Timor, but much darker; the 



primaries are of the male velvet-black ; the white spots on the primaries 

 larger, especially the two last in the series, the last of all being the 

 largest spot in the series ; submarginal dots wanting on the upper surface 

 of primaries, but present on the secondaries, which are not bordered 

 with pearl-white but with greyish brown; the discal spots forming a 

 sinuous white band well separated from the margin, somewhat as in the 

 preceding species; the usual whitish costa and cream-coloured sexual 

 patch. Expanse of wings, 64 mm. 



Maru Island. 



This is one of the prettiest species in the genus, and is doubtless a 

 copy of the preceding species. 



3. Salatuea laeatensis, Butler ; loc. sup. cit. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 5. 

 Allied to S. artenice, Cramer of Java ; but the subapical white fascia 



decidedly broader ; no central white markings on the secondaries ; the 

 veins on the under surface of these wings less distinctly bordered with 

 whits. Expanse of wings 70-74. 

 Larat. 



NrMPHALINa). 



4. Hypolimnas fokbesii, Butler ; loc. sup. cit. PI. XXXVIII. Fig. 4. 



5 . Allied to E. polymena from Aru : velvet-black shot with purple ; 

 primaries with the pattern of B. velleda $ , but darker, and with all the 

 white spots of double the size ; the secondaries differ from E. polymena 

 in having a series of hastate brown dashes along the internervular folds 

 from just beyond the middle of the broad cream-coloured external area.
