Show 1880.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM FORMOSA. 685 creamy white: body white, abdomen with a series of blackish spots on each side; anal tuft of male often tipped with black. Under surface altogether paler, the basal markings obsolete. Expanse of wings 1 inch 1 line. Eleven specimens, all more or less rubbed. A local form of the same species, only differing in its slightly superior size and the more cupreous brown colouring of its wings, occurs at Sarawak, and was doubtless supposed by Walker to be a variety either of G. itysalis or 67. zelimalis*. 120.

Botys stultalis, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xviii. p. 669 (1859). Seven specimens. 1 Another Bornean species overlooked by Walker may be called G. lacteata. it is white, the wings opaline, with cream-coloured outer borders preceded by a broad cupreous-brown band enclosing a lilac stripe between two cream-coloured lines. Primaries crossed by three convergent brown stripes-the first running from base of costa to the second stripe and then downwards with a short elbow to the inner margin, the second from basal fifth of costa to apical third of inner margin, where it joins the third (between the first and second is a slender brown line) ; the third broader, and enclosing a lilacine discocellular litura: body silvery white, above with a brown dorsal stripe on the collar and abdomen, and another on each shoulder.
