In L. eiichylas the iuteinal hmuli^s ;iip whitish, and tliosc on the outer margin, of 

 •which there are only two towards th<' apex, are greyish wliite, the other external 

 lunulas of L. eclectus being replaced by metallic blue vertical streaks. The dark- 

 basal band is broader than in L. euchylas. 



The Female, on the iqjperside, resembles that sex of A. euchylas, but is nearly 

 black, with white spaces as in L. evchylim, which, however, are more restricted. On 

 the underside similar differences occur, tlie blue lumiles on the posterior wings being 

 very conspicuous. llie wings of lioth sexes are rather more elongate than in 

 L. ev.chylas. 



Expanse of wings: inule, lA inch; female, li inch. 



A long series from Friedrich Wilhelms Hafcu, t^tephansort, Simbang, and the 

 Sattelberg. In the markings on the underside this species somewhat resembles 

 L. cdcas Feld. and L. aleuas Feld., but on the anterior wings of L. eclectus none 

 of the lines and markings are blue, and on the posterior wings of L. eclectus the 

 blue lunules are much more conspicuous. On the upperside both Dr. Felder's species 

 are more azure lilue, and their posterior wings are without the sulmiarginal row of 

 spots. 



9. Thysonotis peri sp. nov. 



Male. — -Upperside: both wings darker blue than in T. ///((((Co^x's Grose Smith, 

 with the black outer margins more clearly defined on their inner edges. The white 

 area of the under.side is rejiresented on the anterior wings by an in-egular indistinct 

 patch of white scales irrorated with lilue scales, and on the posterior wings by a 

 moderately well-defined white baud before the middle, more or less densely dusted 

 with blue scales. 



Underside: with tlie dark areas on both wings brighter black, the blue liands 

 in which are brighter, and on the anterior wings the blue band which intersects 

 the black costal area (which is very wide) is wider ; the white spaces are more sharply 

 •defined, that on the anterior wings being truncated instead of rounded at its apex, 

 and there are several irregularly jilaced black spots in the white area, near the 

 junction of the white with tlie black costal area on those wings. On the posterior 

 wings there is, in addition to the subcostal blue streak, another blue streak on the 

 inner margin at its base, and also a patch of blue scales which is situate on the outer 

 edge of the black basal area at its middle, and partially invading the cell. The ciliae 

 are whiter than in T. glaiicopis, but less conspicuously so than in T. urdlacei. 



P'emale. — Upperside: brighter greyish black, with the white areas purer white 

 and less extended tlian in that sex of T. rjlaucopis and T. widlacei. The wings 

 are rounder than in T. wallacei, and tlie costal margin is not narrowly white as in 

 that species. 



Underside : very like the feriude of T. wallacei, but on the anterior wings the 

 subcostal blue band is wider, and extends farther along the outer margin, the black 

 area is more extended, and the ciUae are more narrowly white. On the posterior 

 wings the white band is naiTOwer, the black area being more extended. 



Expanse of wings : male, 1| inch ; female, li inch. 



The tyjies are in I\Ir. Grose Smith's collection, from Stepliansort ; a male and 

 a female are in the collection of the Honourable Walter Kothschild, having been 

 received by him from Dr. Staudinger, from Dutch New Guinea. 



It appears to be intermediate between T. (jlaiicopis and T. wallacei.
