from the same region, the islands of the Timor Group, in the strong development of light ochre-yellow sub¬ 
marginal areas. No local races are yet known of this small and strikingly coloured species, which closely approx¬ 
imates to mineus. Timor (type), Wetter. — From New Guinea a ,,Calysisme“ has been described by Tryox, 
the description of which I have not been able to consult, as the work containing it is wanting in the Berlin 
libraries. This is pernotata Tryon (Report Administr. Brit. New Guinea, II, App. V. Brisbane, 1890). — pmiolafn.

M. newayana spec. nov. (93 b) appears to replace mineus on Celebes. Upper surface, unicolorous dark newayuna. 
mouse-grey with two extremely fine, black, gently undulate antemarginal lines and long white cilia. Forewing 
with an entirely black, rounded ocellus of only medium size, occasionally weakly pupilled with white, and mar¬ 
gined, though also not invariably, with washed-out dark grey-yellow. Hindwing with a pencil of long hairs 
of a fine yellow colour, arising near the base and overlapping a glossy scent-area of finely polished appearance. 
Under surface of both wings traversed by a grey-white longitudinal band, the small eye-spots first finely ringed 
with dull yellow, then with grey. Abdomen above dark, beneath light grey, like the ground-colour. From 
South Celebes, neighbourhood of Macassar, brought in by Dr. L. Martin’s collectors in February. 
M. horsfieldi. This distinct species may be known from all its allies by having distally to the scent-area horsfieldi. 
of the hindwing a further long, narro w androconial patch composed of yellowish white, unusually large scales, 
growing out in the shape of a club from the central cavity of the scent-area, which is filled with similar scales, 
and only partially covered by the anal tuft of scent-hairs. The strongly glossy friction-patch on the underside 
of the forewing contains a very large oval hollow at the submedian, filled up with brown scales, which varies 
in size in the separate local forms, but is always somewhat larger than in minus L. horsfieldi stands in all the 
larger collections as ,, mineus “ and a close examination of the accumulated material would reveal many hitherto 
overlooked local forms. Dr. Haase gave (Iris, 1886, p. 105) a description of the thickly silver-white, silky scent- 
spot of the hindwing, but erroneously called the species pandocus, confusing the name with the corresponding 
Ypthima pandocus Moore. Dr. L. Martin was fortunate enough to discover the early stages. The name-type 
came from Java, from whence Moore knew and described the °f both seasonal forms. The West Javan 
race also extends on to Bawean and the species is nowhere rare on Java from Batavia up to about 600 m. 
In East Java and on Bali, through the influence of the prolonged ch’y season, there occurs a smaller race, decia decia. 
subspr. nov., bepeath with much narrower longitudinal bands, grey-violet instead of white, smaller eye-spots 
only indistinctly bordered with lead-colour or grey, which in the $ of the extreme dry-season form begin 
to disappear, as in perseus prasias. The horsfieldi $$ appear to differ from those of perseus and mineus in. the 
presence of two instead of only one subanal ocellus on the upperside of the hindwing. — hermana Fruhst., from hermana. 
Sumatra and Borneo. <$ \ androconial cavity on the underside of the forewing fully a third larger than in Java 
examples. Under surface: discal bands narrower, on the forewing more and smaller ocelli, not united into 
two groups, but separated, which is especially noticeable also in the §. Grey antemarginal lines of the hindwing 
thinner. — The young larvae of horsfieldi would not accept the common, ubiquitous grass which was readily 
eaten by medus and mineus , and one had to offer them a number of Gramineae, from which they chose a species 
growing at the edges of the woods. The larva is slenderer than that of mineus and tan-coloured instead of smoke- 
yellow, but it has the same black head and the same habits as the latter. The green pupa is smaller and more 
slender and has brown-red markings over the wings and abdomen (Martin). — enganoensis Fruhst. (9 2 a), engano- 
Larger and darker than horsfieldi Moore from Java, Sumatra and Borneo, with broader rings to the ocelli on the ensls. 
upperside of the hindwing. Under surface: median band narrower, darker; the ocelli more distinctly margined 
with grey-brown, all the grey-brown, antemarginal bands widened, particularly on the forewing. Engano, April 
to July. — niasana Fruhst. Smaller than examples from Sumatra, underside of the forewing with fewer ocelli, niasana. 
but larger and more broadly margined with yellow, than horsfieldi from Java. $: discal band on the under 
surface of the wings broader and more prominent, as also the grey-white antemarginal area. — tessimus Fruhst. tessimus 
(92 a). Median band of both wings grey instead of white, the bordering of the ocelli on the hindwing more sharply 
dentate and forming more definite bands. Grey antemarginal area on the underside of the wings more sharply 
defined than in the neighbouring races. North Celebes: Toli-Toli. — ptyleus Fruhst. Smaller and beneath ptyleus. 
with even more pronounced and lighter bands round the ocelli than tessimus Fruhst. All the ocelli ringed with 
lighter yellow. Saleyer, flying in March. — distant? Moore, a continental form from the Malay Peninsula, above distanti. 
lighter grey than the Sumatra and Borneo race, beneath with paler markings in the distal area of both wings. 
From Perak in my collection. — mucianus Fruhst. Larger than distanti Moore from the Malay Peninsula. Ocelli mucianus. 
at least twice as large, distinctly surrounded with yellow, with large white pupils. Distal scent-spot of the hind¬ 
wing darker than in all other horsfieldi. My examples belong to a pronounced dry-season form. Annam, found 
by me in November and December. — leucinoe Fruhst. Under surface of the androconial spot of the leucinoe.
