20 W. Doherty— A List of the Butterflies of Engano. [No. 1, 
a submarginal row of thirteen dots. Hipdwing with three discal dots 
subapically, and fonr or five submargiual ones. The single female has 
the spots still fewer and less conspicuous, the submarginal ones wanting 
except at the aqiex. 
As I took only two or three specimens, I can hardly describe this 
form as a distinct species. It soems greatly to resemble M. semicirculus 
from the Moluccas. The extreme smallness of the spots easily distin- 
guishes it from M. plueretena, described by Herr Kheil from Nias. M. 
plueretena (the name was perhaps intended as an anagram of phcenarete') 
seems to be simply the female of M. phoebus, which he also includes in 
his list of Nias butterflies. 
3. . Salpinx phane, n. sp. Male, above rich velvety blue, resplen- 
dent in some lights, the hindwing nearly equally brilliant, whereas in 
S. novarce and 8. vestigiata it is all brown. Forewing, with one costal and 
the usual interno-median pale blue spot, and a row of seven outer-discal 
ones, of which the first three are united, the third the largest. Hind- 
wing generally with two subapical spots. Below, rich violet brown ; 
the spots are sometimes wholly wanting in both sexes, but generally one 
or two remain subapically on the hindwing. The male before me has 
five subapical spots in two series on the forewing and four larger ones 
on the hindwing. The larger tufts are dark brown, the small terminal 
ones whitish. The female is less richly coloured, the hindwing being 
brown : there are two elongate blue spots in the interno-median space 
of the forewing above. 
This is a local form of 8. leucostictos, Gmelin, but it seems more dis- 
tinct from the Javanese type than are either the Malaccan ( vestigiata ) 
or the Nicobarese ( novarce ) forms. 
4. Euplcea (Trepsichrots) malakoni, n. sp. Male like 77 mulciber 
but with the hindwing blue like the forewing, though less brilliant, 
whereas in the other species it is brown. The odoriferous patch on the 
hind wing occupies all the end of the cell, extending to the upper median 
vein. The pale blue spots of the forewing, though variable, are few and 
inconspicuous ; in the specimen before me there are only nine in all, 
some very minute. The female varies greatly in the distinctness of 
the spots, but in all cases the forewing has no trace of blue, which 
distinguishes it from the other local forms of E. midamus. Tufts bright 
yellow. 
5. Euplcea (Crastia*) enganensis, n. sp. It greatly resembles 
* Mr. Moore’s Vadebra.
