lunate character of the second and third lines from the outer margin 

 of both wings on the underside ; then follows L. kondulana, Felder, 

 of which I possess specimens from the Nicobar Isles, whence it 

 was described, and from the Malay Peninsula. The markings and 

 ground-colour of the underside in L. bochides are almost exactly 

 the same as in J. bochus. 



Described from a single example from S.-E. Borneo, kindly given 

 to me by Mr. W. Doherty.

Cupido pMlatus, Snellen, Tijds. voor Ent., vol. xxi, p. 21, n. 89, pi. i,]fig- 5, male 

 (1878); Lampides philetus, Holland, Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. , vol. xxv, p. 72, 

 e. 91 (1890). 



Habitat : Celebes. 



Expanse : 6 , 1*4 inches. 



Description : Male. Upperside, both icings pale blue with a very 

 slight gloss. Forewing with the outer margin rather broadly 

 blackish, fining away to nothing at the anal angle. Hindwing 

 with an anteciliary fine black thread.; then a similar white thread 

 broken on the veins ; then a series of five oval blackish spots placed 

 one in each interspace ; beyond which, lastly, there is a series of 

 hastate blackish marks also one in each interspace ; the submedian 

 interspace at the anal angle bears two parallel blackish lines in 

 place of the oval spot and hastate mark of the other interspaces. 

 Underside, both wings dull hair-brown, basally somewhat paler ; a 

 fine pure white anteciliary thread, followed by two fine zigzag white 

 lines, the inner one of these on the hindwing is extraordinarily 

 zigzaged ; the space on that wing enclosed by these two lines deep 

 black. Forewing with two short fine parallel lines at the end of 

 the discoidal cell ; a pair of fine discal lines starting from near the 

 costa and ending on the submedian nervure, slightly broken and 

 shifted inwardly posterior to the second median nervule. Hind- 

 wing with the usual basal and discal broken fine white lines, but 

 those towards the base obsolete. 



L. philatus is probably nearest to L. subdita, Moore, from which 

 it may be known by its paler blue coloration on the upper- 

 side, the broad blackish border to the forewing, the prominent 

 marginal markings of the hindwing, the second and third white
