About fourteen species are described, two alone of which have at present been received 

 from this region ; these, however, represent respectively the smallest and most beautiful species 

 of the genus. 



1. Clerome gracilis. (Tab* VIII., fig. 1 8 .) 



Cleromt ■ yrttcil is, Btitlcr, Ami. & Mug. Nat. Hist. ser. 8 T vol. xx. p. 401, t. 8, f. 7 {I8G7i. 



Male. Wings above brownish oehraceous; posterior wings with a somewhat faint enseal oeellated 

 spot, situate between the second and third median ner voles. Wings beneath somewhat paler, and crossed 

 by tw T o waved narrow fuscous fa scire ; the first passing through the centres of both cells, and the second 

 commencing about costal margin of anterior wings, passing beyond the- cellular apices and terminating m ar 

 the middle of abdominal margin to posterior wings ; a subniarginal and strongly sinuated narrow fuscous 

 fascia to both wings. Between the central and Bubmarginal fasciae are placed the following spots : — on 

 anterior wings a series of four small whitish spots placed between the nervules, the first above upper 

 discuidal nervule, and the fourth In-n. n-i first median nervule, followed between the second and third 

 median nervules by an oeellated spot, black, with a pale centre and ochraceous and black margins. 

 Posterior wings with an oeellated spot between the subcostal nervules, followed by three whitish spots 

 between the nervules, and an oeellated spot between the second and third median nervules. Body and legs 

 more or less concolorous with wings.

I have not seen the female of this species. The typical male speeimeu was collected 

 in Malacca by Lieut. Roberts, and a spce-inn n in tbo British Museum is here figured. It is 

 one of the smallest species of the genus, and appears to be seldom found by collectors. 



2. Clerome faunula, (Tab. VIII., fig. 2.)

Chrome iMeltmocipmi] faunula, Westw. Traus. Ent. fcioc. mt. 2, vol. iv. p. \m, i, 21, f, 2 (18(58). 



Female. Wings above pale fuscous ; posterior wings with the abdominal half beneath cell and to about 

 second median nervule bright shining yellow. Anterior wings with the upper disco -cellular nervule very 

 darkly infuscated and with the following dark markings a transverse streak across cell near apex, preceded 

 by a rounded spot, beneath which are two other spots situate between the base of the third median nervule 

 and the submedian nervure ; two discal, transverse, strongly waved, and sinuated fascial, the first crossing wing 

 a little bryimd apex of cell, and the second being somewhat eubmarginal, and'a very faint, waved, narrow, 

 marginal fascia, which is obsolete towards apex. Posterior wings with the following dark markings : — an 

 ohliipie fascia near base terminating about internal uervure; two very strongly waved and sinuated discal 

 fascia, which become united at lower subcostal nervule, the inner one then crossing wing at apex of cell 

 and terminating near centre of submedian nervure, the outer one somewhat subniarginal and much less 

 strongly waved and sinuated after passing first median nervule, till it terminates at submedian nervure; 

 and a waved marginal fascia becoming obsolete towards anal .ingle. VYin^s heiirath pah? greyish, marked 

 as above, but with the yellow coloration of the posterior wings richer and darker, and with all the fascia? 

 and spots very dark fuscous ; costal area of the anterior wings pale fuscous. Body and legs more or less 

 concolorous with win^s.
