Genus Etjschema, Hiibner. 
1. Euschema subrepleta, Walker, Lep. Het. ii. p. 406. n. 3 (1854). Hctzis hello- 
naria , Gu6nde, Uran. et Plial. ii. pi. 18. fig. 1 (1857). d ? , Malacca. 
Genus Amesia, Westwood. 
1. Amesia juvenis, n. sp. Most nearly allied to A. venusta : primaries rich purplish 
chocolate ; apical area, and a series of five marginal spots ultramarine blue ; a series of 
eight submarginal white dots ; a sickle-shaped series of five discal white dots : secon- 
daries red-brown, with tw r o submarginal series of white spots, the inner or discal series 
ill defined : body blue-black ; head and tegulae spotted with blue. Wings below red-brown, 
costal half of primaries purplish ; base of costa metallic green ; two submarginal series of 
white spots uniting into streaks at anal angle of secondaries, the inner series of prima- 
ries deeply incurved, the three uppermost spots of the outer series edged internally 
with blue ; body below metallic green spotted with white. Expanse of wings 2 inches 
9 lines. <£, Malacca. Easily distinguished from its allies by its pale red-brown 
secondaries. 
2. Amesia pexifascia, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. xiii. p. 115. Primaries rich purplish 
chocolate, external two fifths covered by a broad externally deeply digitate dentated 
snow-white band, interrupted by the black nervures, the portion crossing the end of the 
cell divided through the centre into tw r o large spots ; secondaries almost exactly as in 
A. euplceokles of Herricli-Schaffer, but the anal angle dark greenish-grey j body deep, 
purplish chocolate, the three last abdominal segments blue-green ; palpi, tegula3, and 
thorax spotted with lilacine dots. Primaries below as above, but wdtli a basal white 
spot, two costal, two subcostal, two discoidal, and two interno-median blue-edged white 
spots ; secondaries below nearly as in A. euplceoidcs y but the anal angle grey ; body 
below brown, with a lateral series of blue-edged white spots. Expanse of wings 3 inches 
11 lines. ? , Malacca. The most striking species in the genus. 
Genus Laurion, Walker. 
1. Laurion corculum, n. sp. Sepia-brown ; primaries crossed by an oblique narrow 
sulphur-yellow band, beyond which the apical area is almost black. Wings below paler, 
greyish towards the base ; primaries with the costa as far as the band blue ; secon- 
daries with four apical marginal steel-blue spots ; sides of pectus and anterior coxae 
blue ; venter banded with white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. 6 , Malacca. 
Genus Chalcosta, Hiibner. 
1. Chalcosia coliadoides (var. latifasciata). CUalcosia coliadoides, Walker, Journ. 
Linn. Soc. vi. p. 97 (1862). $ , Malacca. Differs from the Bornean form in the more 
regular, non-lunated, broader, subapical, curved, cream-coloured band of primaries. 
Genus Cyclosia, Hiibner. 
1. Cytlosia panthona, ( Plialcenci \Gco)netrci\ pantJwrta) Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. p. 6S,
