( 50G ) 



margin liy four black spots between the veins, narrowly liordered by riifous brown. 

 Cilia white, mottled with dark brown at the tips of the veins. 



Underside: both wings brownish white, traversed by numerous bright brown 

 bands and markings. The anterior wings are crossed a little before the middle Ijy an 

 irregular band of brown spots, there is an indistinct spot beyond the cell, and a little 

 beyond the middle is another irregular band of spots, of which the spot below the 

 lowest median nervule extends inwardly, and that above the upper median nervule 

 extends outwardly, both bands being paler in the middle. On the margin is a row of 

 brown lunules surrounded by white, followed inwardly by a brown band which is 

 narrow towards the apex and becomes broader towards the inner margin ; the co.stal 

 area is irregularly mottled with brown. The posterior wings are crossed by a very 

 irregular hand of brown spots a little before the middle; the spot on the costal margin 

 is much elongated inwardly, that on the inner margin being elongated outwardly 

 towards the anal angle ; the lower part of the cell is occupied by another brown spot, 

 angulated across the cell at its outer end and contiguous with the band. Towards 

 the anal angle between the veins are three black spots bordered outwardly by 

 metallic copper ; above and around the spots is a broad patch of brown ; towards the 

 apex are three submarginal narrow brown hmules. 



Female. — Upperside: both wings coppery pinkish brown ; posterior wings with 

 thi-ee black spots towards the anal angle between the veins. 



Underside as in the male, but with the spots paler brown; the outer band of 

 spots on the anterior wings is rather narrower, and on the posterior wings the spots in 

 the central baud are more interrupted. 



Expanse of wings : J inch. 



Hab. Oinainisa, Timor. 



Described from one male and thirteen feiiKdes. Not near any described species. 

 The metallic spots on the underside appear to ally it to Chilades putli Koll. ; the 

 underside bears a superficial resemblance to Lachnocnenia bibidus Fabr. 



Hi. Cyaniris cinctuta sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside: rather violaceous blue; both wings with the outer margins 

 very broadly bordered by a band of dull greyish black ; the band on the posterior 

 wings extends half-way along the co.stal margin. 



Underside resembles C. nedda Grose i^mith, liut the spots and markings are 

 more clearly defined, and the submarginal row of lines which crosses the disc of the 

 anterior wings is more zigzag than in that species. 



Female resembles the viale, but the dark marginal hand on the anterior wings is 

 rather broader, and on the posterior wings it is broken up into a row of lunules, each 

 centred by a dusky spot. 



Expanse of wings : 1 J inch. 



Hab. Ternate, Batchian, llalmaheira. 



In the collection is a long series from .S. ('elebes, which 1 <iUHiot separate from 

 this species, thougli the dark outer-marginal bands are rather broader. 



IV. Cyauiris lyce sp. nov. 

 yiALE.— Upperside : duller blue than in C. prispa i^lorsf. and C kuhiii Kober 

 (which two species it resembles in shape), and without any indication of the central 

 pale patches in those species; the outer margins are narrowly greyish black, and there 

 is a row of obscure dark spots on the outer margin of the posterior wings.
