and outer marginal areas. The Imsal aven from flic inner margin as far as the 

 middle of tjie cell is dark smalt bine, jiassing into jiale blnish white beyond the 

 lower outer angle of the cell. The secondaries are pale fnscons, with the basal area 

 in the region of the cell shot with smalt blue. This wing is crossed by a broad 

 rather regular fuscous band running from the costa before tiie outer angle toward 

 the anal angle, which it does not quite reacli. The margin is indicated by two fine 

 bluish white lines, separated by a narrow dark line. Tiie fringes are dark fuscous, 

 as on the jirimaries, but are edged with jialer fuscous, and produced at the 

 extremities of veins 1, 2, and 3 as short tails, of which the one at the end of 

 Vein 2 is the longest. All of these tails are tijiped narrowly with white. 



On the underside both wings are pale fawn. There is a short transverse band 

 of slightly ilarker fown running from the costa to the lower angle of the cell 

 margined by narrow white lines. This is succeeded by a broad dark band running 

 from the costa and retracted a short distance along the inner margin, and edged on 

 either side with white lines. A fine white line runs from the costa toward the inner 

 margin, bending outwardly about the middle of the wing, and coalescing with the 

 white line which defines the broad outer band before the inner margin is reached. 

 Beyond this line we still have two other fine white lines along the margin, 

 separated by a narrow dark line. The fringes are uniformly fnscous. The lines 

 and bands' of the outer marginal area of the primaries are produced upon the 

 secondaries. There is a very small and obscure ocellns between veins 2 and 3, 

 having a black centre, surmounted by orange red. The discal and basal portion of 

 this wing is marked by numerous tine white lines arranged in intricate'patterus. 



E.Kpanse : 30 mm. 



Type unique. 



This species is closely allied to the preceding, but the pattern and direction of 

 the transverse lines and bands on both sides of the wings are very different. No 

 tendency to the breaking up of the lines and bands of the margins into lunnles is 

 revealed, and the entire facies is different. Unfortunately there does not appear 

 to be any male, to which I can refer this specimen — a fact for which I must express 

 deej) regret. 



Genus TALK'ADA Moore. 



72. T. buruana sp. nov. 



This species is closely allied to 1. arruanu Feld., from which it is easily dis- 

 tinguished by the fact that the miles are very light blue on the upperside of the 

 wings, and not dark blue as in Felder's species. Furthermore, there is an entire 

 absence in both sexes of the dark red marking near the anal angle of the secondaries, 

 which are characteristic of T. arruanu. The fomnli> is dark fnscous on the upper- 

 side of the primaries and secondaries, with the wings shot near the base with 

 silvery binisli white. This may be regarded as the Baruan form of Felder's 

 species.

There are a few of this species in both se.xes.
