3SCRIPTI0NS OF NEW SPECIES OF DIUENAL LEPIDOPTEBA. 
BY AETHUE GAKDINER BUTLEB, V.Jj.S. 
Genus AMATHUSIA. 
Amathusia Ottomana, sp. nov. 
Alee supra fusc^, anticce fascia disco-cosfali violaced ; pastier caudd

, hrunneis, ocellis duohus posticis pcrmagnisjusco-ochraceis. 
Allied to Amytlaon, but differs entirely in regard to the shape and 
tion of the violet band of the front-wings, which begms on the 
., close to the base, continues beyond the end of the cell, then 
,es obliquely towards but not reaching the outer margin, from 
chit turns off, tapering to just below the first medxan nervule ; 
^ wine, being thus ornamented with a large violet crescent. The 
d-wings are shot with violet. The under-surface of the wings is 
,rly the same as in A. Amythaon, but of a more pinky hue and with 
^er ocelli. 
Inhabits Borneo (Sarawak, LoiveJ. 
In the collection of Herbert Druce, Esq. 
This does not agree with the descriptions of Telder's A. Fylaon 
Por^/,«o;. from Java, his Indian species being probably the true^ 
nytUon of Doubleday (but not of Westwood.) The figure m the 
)riental Entomology," represents a species with a much narrower 
d duller violet band on the front-wings, leaving a large brown space at 
^ apex; the brushes on either side of the body seem also to be un- 
aally developed. There can be little doubt that this is a distmct 
ecies, for which I propose the name of A. Westwoodn. 
The type of the figure is said to be in the coUection of H. G. 
irriDston, Esq. , , , 
I hope soon to be able to figure A. Ottomana, ^r^i the other species 
sre described.
