22 W. Doherty — A List of the Butterflies of Engano. [No. 1, 
This species can scarcely be included in any of Mr. Moore’s sub- 
genera, and I know no described form resembling it. It was unluckily 
out of season when I was in Engano, and I only got two or three in fair 
condition, the rest being worn and faded. 
7. Euplcea faiiakela, n, sp. Male, above, forewing rich brown, 
not at all lighter outwardly ; hindwing paler brown, slightly darkening 
near the margin ; a single “ brand ” like that of E. core ; no other 
markings above in either sex. Below there is a rounded violet white 
spot in the cell, and a larger pinkish one in the lowor median space, 
one in the upper median space, and sometimes one in the space above. 
Hindwing with a small spot in the cell, and 3-5 minute ones beyond it. 
There are sometimes traces of obscure subapical and subanal dots. Tufts 
bright ochre. The female is very pale brown and remarkably trans- 
lucent ; it has a long white streak below the lower median vein on the 
forewing below. 
This species seems to have no near allies except E. camorta, Moore, 
from the Nicobars, which obviously differs in the pale borders of the 
wings. 
Besides the Euploeas mentioned, I believe I saw a species of 
Calliploea, near mazares, flying at Kayapu on the day of my arrival. 
The Euploeas of Nias, as described by Herr Kheil, differ greatly 
from those of Engano ; there can hardly be more than one species (a 
Salpinx ) common to both. I append the list.

The absence of the true Euploea ( Core group) and of Crastia 
( Climena group) from Nias, and of Tronga and lsamia from Engano, are 
interesting.
