tbat form from the Knmnsi It., in North-Eastern British New Guinea, collected by 

 A. S. Meek in August lOiiT. Along with these ? ? Meek sent a single <S, which 

 presumulily is the c? of c/i/fonea. It differs from the ? ? in the forewing being 

 jatlier narrower and bearing only a few metallic scales in place of the distinct 

 snbmarginal band of the ? ? ; further, in the white area of the hindwing being 

 reduced on the upperside to a central stripe which fills in the cell and extends 

 beyond the apex of it, the stri])e being bounded on the underside by the costal 

 and lower submcdian veins ; the basal portion of the abdominal area whitish. 

 The abdomen is yellowish white on the underside, with a bluish sheen.

'■I 6 S from near the Oetakwa R., Snow Mts., Dutch New Guinea, up U> 

 3.")UU ft., x.-xii. 10U'.< (A. S. Meek). 



In the cJcJ oi lyccwnoides Walk. (1864) and ci/aneus Jord. (1907) the hindwiug 

 beneath bears a purplish blue triangular spot posteriorly at the Iiase. This spot 

 is absent from the SS of anixus Jord. (1907) and the present species ; but whereas 

 the abdominal area of the underside of the hindwing (J) is covered with clay- 

 coloured scales as far as the upper submedian vein in nnixii.s, this area is metallic 

 blue and partly bluish white in the new species. 



The forewing more rounded at the apex than in anisns ; the distal margin 

 purplish browu, within this brown border a blue metallic line nearly as in 



sdntilla?is, but fiirther away from the margin, the fringes metallic. Hindwing 



blue, with a white central smear occupying cell and extending be3-ond apex of 

 same (type), or entirely blue. 



On underside, a large white patch on forewing occupying the distal part of 

 cell (or nearly the whole cell) aud the parts of disc adjacent to the apex of cell ; 

 a similar white patch on hindwing. These white patches abseut from ^ of ariisus, 

 but present in ? of a/tigia^, though somewhat smaller. 



Coxae, sterna, and underside of abdomen paler tlian in d of anisns, claspers 

 and underside of preceding segment blue, rather paler than npperside of abdomen. 

 Forewing with five subcostals.

1 S from the Ninay valley, Arfak Mts., Dutch New Guinea. ;i.jii(i ft., February 

 and March 19i»9 (Messrs. Pratt). 



The ])ectiuations of the antenna have a distinct ochraceous tone. Frous of 

 head bright sulphur-yellow, occiput and scaling of antenna slightly metallic 

 greenish blue. Upperside ot forewing with a distinct purple sheen, which is less 

 distinct on the npperside of the hindwing than on the underside. The orange band 

 of the forewing 2 mm. broad, being very little widened costally. Breast and legs 

 blue, as is also an ill-defined stri])e which borders the pale creamy buft' underside ; 

 apex of coxae, trochanters and base of femora creamv buft'.
