lines, the innermost reaching' to the second median nervule and the ontermost to 

 the third median nervule. There is a broad submarginal band of quadrate dark 

 spots, and a marginal series of lanules, both bordered inwardly quite broadly with 

 white, the margin is indicated by a fine white line followed externally by a fine but 

 very distinct black line. The fringes are fuscous, tipped with white. The second- 

 aries have the marginal markings of the primaries continued upon them, the series 

 of luuules being interrupted by a large ocellus, between veins 2 and 3, deep black, 

 surmounted by a lunule of orange-red, and irrorated with bluish green scales. The 

 discal and basal areas are crossed by five transverse lines, broken on vein 0, and all 

 tending to unite by their lower extremities at a point about the middle of vein 2. 

 On the inner margin there are three parallel short lines running from vein 2 

 upwardly in the direction of the insertion of the wing. 



? . Ihejemale is much like the )/iale, but all the markings are heavier and more 

 distinct, and the upper surface of tlie wings lacks the bluish sheen of the male, being 

 more milky white. Furthermore the apical area of the primaries on the upperside 

 is somewhat broadly laved with dark fuscous. 



Expanse c? 28 — 32 mm,, ? 25 — 33 mm. Described from six males and six 

 females. 



I reluct at describing another species in this genus, in which the differences 

 are often found to reside merely in a shade of colour, or the arrangement of a few 

 lines in the underside of the wing, but in this case the specimens before me are so 

 constant in their markings and are so totally distinct in their facies from any other 

 species known to me, that I am compelled to regard them as, if not a distinct 

 species, at least representing a well-defined local race. There is nothing exactly 

 like them so far as 1 can see which has been described or figured elsewhere. 



Genus CATOCHRYSOPS Boisduval. 



90. C. strabo (Fabricius), Ent. S>/st. III. 1. p. 287. n. 101 (1793). 



Apparently common. The specimens are all relatively small, much less in 

 expanse of wings, than the specimens of the following species, which I think is 

 surely only a dimorphic form of the male, but which I still allow to stand until we 

 shall have this surmise proved by the experiment of breeding. 



91. C. lithargyria (Moore), Ami. Mag. Nat. Hist. (4). XX. p. 340. (1877). 



This is certainly not specifically distinct from the foregoing species, and will 

 no doubt turn mit, when the test of breeding is applied, to be the dimorphic male of 

 C. strabo. 



Very common. The females are not separable from those of C. strabo, if the 

 females enclosed iu the same envelopes with Uthargifria are certainly the females of 

 this form, which I believe that they are. 



92. C. cnejus (Fabricius), Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 430 (1798). 

 Not at all scarce. 



Genus AMBLYPODIA Horsfield. 

 93. A. anna Standinger,' Exot. lagf. I. p. 282 (1888). 

 The collection contains two males and three females of this species, not all 

 quite perfect.
