Exi)anse of wings : 1 inch. 



Two males. 



I have lately received a pair of this species from Siinbang, (rernian Xew Giiinea, 

 and thii feiiMle may fitly here be de.scribed. Upperslde: both wings dull greyish 

 bro\vii, with the lower part of the cell on the anterior wings, and the space below it to 

 the inner margin dull greyish blue, the blue colour extending over the discal area 

 below and a little beyond the end of the cell. On the posterior wings the blue 

 colour extends over the cell and the lower [lortion of the disc, the veins where they 

 traverse the blue area being broadly greyish brown. There is a sulmiarginal row of 

 blown spot .s, capped with greyish blue lunules, and bordered oulwardlv with narrow 

 grey lines. Underside: paler brown than in the nude. 



^^<i. Thysonotis apoUonius Keld. 

 A long series of both sexes. 



21' 1. Thysonotis hermes subsp. nov. 



Mai.K. — Uiqierslde: both wings resemble T. ajjollonius, from which species 

 il ditfers as untler : the blue area on both wings is duller and more greenish, the 

 white area is stramineous, and the dark outer-marginal area is browner black, the 

 costal and outer margins of the anterior wings being much more broadly brown- 

 black. The ciliae are brown, much less distinctly marked with white between the 

 \cins. 



On the iniilerside similar diti'erences occur on lioth wings; also on the anterior 

 wings the white area is more extended towards the apex, where it terminates more 

 acutely, and on the posterior wings tlie blue submarginal band is narrower and 

 of more uniform width, and tlie black spots in it between the veins are larger and 

 more extended inwardly, occupying a much larger space in the blue band, which is 

 a deeper blue than in T. cipollo-nius. 



Female.— The up^jerside is more fuliginous brown, the dusky pale band across 

 both wings being also more fuliginous and obscured ; the ciliae on both wings are 

 much less distinctly marked with brownish white between the veins, being scarcely 

 visible. 



On the "underside corresponding differences occur, the white bands being 

 stramineous, terminating more acutely towards the apex of the anterior wings ; the 

 dark ai'ea is browner black, and the blue bands deeper blue. The blue band on the 

 ]]0.sterior wings is narrower and more uniform in width, with the black siiots in it 

 larger, as in the male. 



Expanse of wings : 1,^ inch. 



Hab. Two males and one j'e/wde fioni Korrido, and \v.o feiiKden from Biak. 



It is an insular form of 'T. apoUonius or T. philostratus Feld., the blue on the 

 upperside of which latter species is more j)uri)le than in 2'. a)iollon>iis. and the 

 underside of which very closely resembles T. /iec»u'.<. 



'222. Thysouotis g'laucopis sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: differs from T. iridlarci in both wings being more rounded- 

 and the anterior wings lieiiig more uniformly and darker blue. On the jiosterior wings
