Beneath. Forewing brown, with central area dark 2 )ur])Iish brown anti dorsiini pale brown: a dot 
in end of cell and two postcellular dots: a series of small subapical dots: a long pale streak on vein 
la (in the ligiire hidden i)y the hindwing). Mindwing dark brown with termen and dorsum pale brown ; 
a dot in end of cell, and a scries of four postcellular dots: indications of diseal spots, as above: an 
incomplete series of minute subterminal dots.

area (i the largest: a complete series of subtcrminal dots, llindwing brown: a series of discal spots, 
two in eacli area Ib, la, 2 and 3: a com}dete series of large subterminal dots. 
Beneath. Forewing l)rown, paler tiuui above: a dot in end of cell, and a subcostal dot above end 
of cell, a iJosteellular <lot in area 3 and anotlier in area 4: a lilac-white streak in area la: discal spots

Loc. Capo York. Thursday Is. (d/oore). 2^^ 1?- 
Our figure of the male is drawn from the Cape York exam])le of miseniis in the Miskin collection 
of the Queensland Aluseum. This is probably Aliskiu^s type, though as usual he failed to label it, and 
though he omitted mention of the white subapical dots of forewing beneath. These dots are only faintly 
visible above, but in our own Thursday Is. example are well develo|)ed both above and beneath. Our 
figure aiul descrijjfion of the female arc taken from a coloured drawing of the type in the British Aluseum; 
the figure is of sliglitly reduced size. Aliskiids name must of course sink. The species has nothing in 
common with E, climena. 
If these three specimens all came from Australia, and there is no doubt aboiit the males, they 
certainly belong to the one species. The males are very close to the variable E. nox from Aru, and the 
figure of the female is almost identical Avith an Ai'U female of F. nox in our collection. 
10. Euploea climena Cramer. (Aloliiccas). 
This Eujiluea lias several limes Iieen recorded from eastern Australia, but always in error: such 
notes refer to otiicr species, or to simcimens that liave been Avrongly attributed to Australia. This is 
the first i)i'operIy authenticated Australian record. Baces of climena occur in Java, Aloluccas, the Aru 
and the Key Islands. 
10a. E. climena malindeva nov. Fig. G. 
(f’. Above. Forewing velvety brown, towards termen slightly jialer. llindwing broAvn: termen broadly 
cream with veins brown. 
Beneath. Forewing brown witli dorsum grey: a large si)ot in end of cell, and a series of three 
small postceiliilur spots in areas 2, 3 and 4, while tinged blue: a series of minute subterminal dots 
Fig. G. Et(,ploea malindeva, male. 
in ai’eas 3, 4, (i and 7, white. Hindwing as above: a spot in end of cell and a series of four small 
postcellular spots in areas 3, 4, 5 and 0, Avhite tinged blue: a series of subterminal spots in areas 4, 5, 
G and 7, and a jiair of small terminal spots in each area, 4, 5 and G, white. 
Loc. Derby 11. 2c7. 
This subspecies is somewhat similar on hindwing above to E, hyems niveata. It has been sent us 
by Air. 0. B. LoAver, Avho suggests the name adojited.
