 2-10. Holochila intensa Butl. 



A pair from Kon. 



241. Holochila ilias VM. 

 Four males and two females. 



242. Holochila marginata sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperslde: more violaceous purple than H. intensa and 11. ilias. 

 Anterior wings with the costal margin, apical third, and outer margin \pry broadly 

 brown-black. Posterior wings with the costal margin jialcr and the outer margin 

 rather broadly brown-black, the inner edge of the dark band being irregular ; tlie 

 wings are more acutely angulated at the anal angle. 



Underside: dififer.s from 1x)th the above species in the veins on the anterior 

 wings not being tipped with black. 



Expanse of wings : 1 inch. 



One specimen only. 



24.". Holochila subovata sp. nov. 



5IALE. — Upperside : more violaceous purple than H. intensa and H. ilias. 

 Anterior wings with the costal margin narrowly, the apex more broadly, and outer 

 margin more narrowly bordered with brown-black. Ciliae on both wings white, 

 conspicuously ti2iped with black at the ends of the veins. Anterior wings broader 

 than in the above-described species, and slightly con\ex on the outer margin. 

 Posterior wings nan'owly edged with black. 



Underside : rather brownish white, outer margin very narrowly black. Ciliae 

 white, tipped with black at the ends of the veins. 



Female scarcely differs from the same sex of H. intensa and //. (7('rts, but the 

 pale middle space extends rather more towards the base, and the ciliae are marked 

 conspicuously with black at the ends of the veins. 



Expanse of wings : 1| inch. 



A pair ; the shape of the wings is the principal distinguishing feature of this 

 sjiecies. 



244. Holochila harterti sj). nov, 



Male. — Upperside : both wings brownish grey, with a white patch which covers 

 a triangular space ou the anterior wings, the rounded ap;^x of which commences near 

 the end of the cell and has its base on the middle of the inner margin. Posterior 

 wings with a large white patch extending from the costal margin, from the apex 

 nearly to the base, and thence across the wings, invading the middle of the cell to 

 the upper median nervule, whence it shades into the browni-grev area of the lower 

 portion of the wing.s. 



Underside : slightly shaded witli lirown towards the outer margins. Ciliae white 

 on the anterior wings and mottled with grey at the tijis of the veins on the 

 posterior wings. 



Expanse of wings : 1 ^ inch. 



One specimen only. The general aiijiearance would lead one to supi)0se it to be 

 a female, but the shape of the wings, especially of the posterior wings, which are 

 sharply angulated at the anal angle, seems to indicate that it is a inaU.
