spots in my specimen. On the underside of the forewing there is an 

 indistinct submarginal whitish line not mentioned by Hewitson in his 

 description of the male, but stated to be present in the female ; all the 

 markings of the hindwing less distinct than in his figure. The tufts 

 of hairs on the upperside of the hindwing in my specimen have been 

 largely destroyed, but sufficient remain to enable me to place the 

 species in this genus with considerable certainty. 



14. CYANIRIS COALITA, n. sp., PL F, Figs. 12, 6 ; 13, ? . 



Habitat: Java. 



Expanse: 8 , 1*4; $, 1*1 to 1'3 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both wings rather pale lavendar- 

 blue. Fore icing, costa narrowly black, with an indistinct irrorated 

 patch of white scales in the middle of the disc, almost obsolete 

 in one specimen. Cilia anteriorly black, white at the anal angle, 

 and for a short distance thence along the inner margin. Hind- 

 wing with an irrorated patch of white scales from the middle 

 of the costa to about the discoidal nervule ; a black anteciliary 

 thread. Cilia white, but bearing a black line towards the base. 

 Underside, both icings bluish- white ; the termination of the discoidal 

 cells marked with a brownish line as usual ; a submarginal lunulated 

 line, enclosing an elongated spot in the forewing and a round one in 

 the hindwing between it and the margin in each interspace, except 

 the submedian interspace of the hindwing which has two. Fore- 

 wing with a prominent spot below the costa about midway 

 between the disco-cellular streak and discal band, the latter consisting 

 of four distinct and prominent portions, one in each interspace from 

 the upper discoidal to first median nervule, and almost coalescing with 

 the submarginal lunulated line. Hindwing with the basal and discal 

 spots as usual in the genus. Female. Upperside, both icings fuscous. 

 Forewing with a large patch of white occupying the whole of the disc, 

 extending from the middle third of the inner margin to the sub- 

 costal nervure ; this patch in some lights irrorated with very pale 

 metallic blue. Hindwing bearing a similar patch on the disc. 

 Underside, both wings marked as in the male, but the spots (especially 

 the discal macular band on the forewing) more prominent.
