Show 392 MR. H. J. ELWES ON S O M E [May 6, dash running outward from the 2nd band, and has the lower of the two spots in the male obliquely inside instead of outside the upper spot. The shape, colour, and position of the fringe and lobe are very similar to B.javanica, and the hind wing also is pink. The red bands are broader, as in B. conclusa. This species I describe with some hesitation, as I have seen only a single male, which is in Dr. Staudinger's collection, and was collected by Dr. Platen in the Minahasa district of North Celebes. c. 1 spot only and a red dash between 2nd and 3rd bands. S with a large brush of hairs on underside of the fore wing. 8. B I Z O N E U N I P U N C T A T A , Leech, M S . This very distinct species seems to be very rare in Japan, but Mr. Leech has a pair from Satsuma and a female from the Liukiu Islands, all taken by Mr. H . Pryer. d. Very small red spots between 2nd and 3rd bands, which are straight. 9. B I Z O N E AMABILIS, Moore, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 597, t. 59. f. 2, 6* • From the description and figure I supposed this to be a form of puella, but on examining the type I find it is a good species. A female in Moore's collection is from Car Nicobar island. 10. BIZONE PUDENS, Walk. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vi. p. 120 (1862). B. perversa, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 338, $. A small species from Borneo, which seems to come very near to the last. I have only seen it in the British aud Oxford Museums. B.

A distinct species, which occurs in Sikkim, Burmah, and Penang. B. determinata, W k . Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vi. p. 120, 2 (1862), from Sarawak, seems nearest B. bianca, and may be its female; but the male is unknown, and what is put as the female of bianca in the Oxford Museum by Walker has three spots, whilst all I have from Sikkim and Burmah have two only. a".
