BUTTERFLIES FROM THE INDO-MALAYAN REGION. 359 



are placed so closely together as almost to form one uninterrupt- 

 ed black band occupying the whole of the outer margin, the 

 innermost, however, broken near the middle of the wing, leaving 

 an oval space of the ground-colour; the third line also is 

 shorter than the others, leaving a small portion of the ground- 

 colour in the first median interspace ; a round orange patch bearing 

 two black dots in the middle occupies the anal angle of the wing. 

 Hindwing has the abdominal margin broadly black ; there are three 

 outer-discal approximating broad black lines, which enclose two 

 narrow bluish lines ; the outer margin also bearing three other 

 broad black lines, which enclose two very fine pure white lines ; 

 between these two groups of three lines there is an elongated wedge- 

 shaped space of the ground-colour, which extends from the discoidal 

 nervule to the costa, its narrowest portion towards the anal angle 

 of the wing ; the anal lobe, and the anal area widely as far as 

 the second median nervule orange, bearing seven small round 

 black spots. Underside, both icings marked very similarly to the 

 upperside, except that all the black lines are narrower, especially 

 those on the outer margin of the forewing. Foreicing with the 

 orange area at the anal angle smaller. Hindwing with the orange 

 area at the anal angle also smaller than on the upperside, and bear- 

 ing three black spots only, these being larger than those on the 

 upperside. Thorax, and abdomen black, obscurely streaked with 

 whitish above, beneath white. Palpi above black, beneath white. 



Nearest to C. mam a lis, Erichson, of which species I possess 

 four male specimens from Manilla and Mindoro, and from which it 

 may be at once distinguished by the three black lines from the base 

 common to both wings being narrower, and by the middle one 

 of them in the hindwing leaving the fine black line which defines 

 the disco-cellular nervules free, instead of covering them entirely ; 

 the orange area of the hindwing is also more extensive; again 

 the prominent steel-blue line crossing the outer-disc of the 

 hindwing and reaching to the second median nervule of the fore- 

 wing in 0. mcemlis, is obsolete, being replaced by a bluish line ; 

 the veins of the upperside which in C. man a I is are only partially 

 black, are wholly so. From 0. nivea, Zinken-Sommer, and G. 

 nivalis, Felder, it may be known by the three common black lines
