broadl.v margiued with black ; the remainder of the upjtcr surface of the wings is 

 very deep ro^val ])uii)le, with little or no sheen. On the underside I am unable to 

 distinguish the markings of this s])ecies from those of J. astraptes and those of 

 ./. boclius, except that the ground colour of the wing is a jjaler whitish grey. 



?. The ye/«n/(' is marked on the underside like the »(«/<■. On the upperside 

 the wings are very broadly black-, being merely shot lightly at the base with royal 

 purple. The secondaries have the outer margin defined more or less distinctly 

 toward the anal angle by a fine white line, above which are tliree or four small spots, 

 darker than the adjacent parts of the wing. 



Expanse S 18 — 25 mm., ? 28 mm. 



Described from numerous males, onQ/emale. 



Genus LAMPIDES Hiibner. 

 84. L. hylas (Cramer), Pap. Exot. IV. t. 3(J3. f. E. F (1782). 

 Apparently very common. 



8.j. L. celeno (Cramer), I.e. I. t. 31. f C. D (1775). 

 A few specimens. 



8(). L. aratus (Cramer), l.,-. IV. t. 3G9. f A. B (1782). 

 Apparently not uncommon. 



87. L. callinicus (Ruber), his I. p. 58. t. 4. f. 15 (1884). 



What I take to be this species is represented in the collection by a few males 

 and more nwoi&roxi& females. 



88. (?) L. nemea Felder, Sit^ber. A/t. Wiss. Wien. XL. j). 455 (1860). 



It is with some doubt that I refer the two specimens before me to this 

 species.

tJ. The ynale on the upperside has much the appearance of L. aratus Cram., 

 but the wings on the upperside of the primaries in particular are overshot with 

 a deeper blue iridescence, the outer margin of the primaries is more heavily edged 

 with dark fuscons, and the subbasal dark band of the underside shows through 

 upon the upperside as a pale dark band parallel to the outer margin. The secondaries 

 on the upperside have the margin distinctly defined by a black line, followed by a 

 row of marginal lunules, surrounded with white, the one between veins 2 and 3 

 being distinctly ocelliform. This row of lunules is succeeded inwardly by a sub- 

 marginal row of dark fuscous spots, more or less quadrate in form. On the under- 

 side the wings are pale fawn crossed by white lines, the arrangement of which is 

 simpler than in L. aratus, the most striking difference being the fact that on the 

 primaries the two lines at the end of the cell are continued directly as parallel lines 

 to the sabmedian nerve. These lines are succeeded by two parallel curved subapical
