From the above, however, we may deduct the wide-iuBging speciea 



Catochrysops patala, Lampides tElianuSf Larjopkra hontiita, and Ht/m nia 

 /ascialis, which leaves lis 5 Timor types, 3 Australian, 2 Aml>oii)aj 2 Isew 

 Guinea, 1 Am, 1 Lifii, 2 Javnti, 1 liidiaii. The last c*f tliese^ Jiowever, is 

 equally eharaeteristic of the Mnlayau faima, as ali-o is that from Poly- 

 iivsia; these two fonus, therefore, may Ite regtirdefl a.H doubtful, which 

 will leave the relatis'o pro]Kirtious of the eiK^ci. s as fo'lows Indo-

L Chjlkapa eAcEEDos, Butler ; loc. sup. ciL PI. XXX Vin. Fig. 7* 

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

 the primaries of the male velvet-black, the white spots on the primarie,'* 

 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, aiid »ot notched as in C ktuu'tn'i ; the submarginat 

 spots clenrer aud arranged more regularJy, Expanse of wings, ^ 78 mm.,

2, Callitlqja visesi>a, Butler; loc. sup. cit PL XXXVIII. Fig. 1. 

 Allied to C. hi/nm {art&be, Fid.) from Timor, but much darker; the 



primaries are of the male velvet-lilaek ; the white sfKits on the primaries 

 larger, especially the two hist iu the series, the last of all K-ing the 

 largest spot in the series ; submarginal dotja wunting on the ujjper surface 

 of primurius, but present on the gecondaries, wliich are not bordered 

 with ijearl-wliite but with greyi.^h brown; the discal Bjjots forming a 

 Binnoufi white baud welt separated from the margin, somewhat as in the 

 preceding (fjiecies; the usual whitish costa aud cream-coloured ijesual 

 patch. Expanse of wings, 64 mm.

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

 copy of the preceding si^ecics.
