ppots, and tho spots in tlic disc^al row across tho posterior wings aro difTcnnitly 

 arranged. 



Female.— The uppe)-sule resembles that of the female of N. meiranganns, but 

 the greenish blue at the base of botli wings is brighter and more extended, and on 

 tlie posterior wings there is a douWe row of obscure grey lunular markings across the 

 disc ; the ciliae are wliite mottled with grey, as in the 'iiiale. 



On the underside on the anterior wings the central space is white, and on both 

 wings the white edgings to the sjx)ts are very conspicuous. 



Expanse of wings : rather more than I inch. 



Three males and one female; one of the males from I'iak, the others from 

 lliiinlioldt Bav. 



Nacaduba pactolus Vrh 



Two specimens. 



2H. Nacaduba obscura sp. nov. 



^l.M.K. — Uppers ide : dull lead-cdlourcd Mue, with rather narrow Inown mari^ins ; 

 the wings are nearly the same colour and sliape as X cahtirria, but willioul tails. 



Underside: browner than that species, with the grey markings much less 

 distinct; the double grey lines which cross the cell on the anterior wings are not 

 extended to the inner margin. On the posterior wings, at the anal angle on the 

 margin between the veins, are two .small black spots. 



Expanse of wings : J inch. 



Three males are in the collection. 



21."i. Nacaduba fatureus Kober (?). 



One male, which I take to be this species. Unfortunately the figure of this 

 species in Iris, vol. i., as well as many other figures of Lycaenidae in this volume, 

 is so indistinct as to be of little value, comparatively, in the identification of an 

 obscure species. 



2\c,. Jamides astraptes Frld. 

 One specimen from (iani. 



217. Jamides campanulata Butl. (?). 



One male, coming from Kun, which is very close to the type under this name 

 in the ]5ritish Museum. .Mr. Druce considers /. campamilata identical with ,/. 

 woodfordi Hull, and .A. lohi-Hn liutl. 



'21X. Jamides amaranga Druce. 

 .\ pair from Korrido, and two males and a female from Humboldl !5av. 



2li). Jamides purpurata >p. nov. 



Two m«/es, which on the upperside difller from J. campanulata in bring some- 

 what paler and bluer purple. On the anterior wings the outer-marginal dark border 

 is narrower except at the apex, and on the jiosterior wings there is no dark band 

 on the inner .side of the submarginal row of indi.stinct spots between the veins; 

 these spots are partially narrowly surrounded with white rings, but verj' indistinctly
