band crossing them are very irregular instead of being straight, and the blue area 

 bej'ond the white band is more extended towards the apex and outer margin. 



On the underside of the anterior wings the black baud across the disc is angulated 

 sharpl}- on the middle median nervule, instead of running parallel to (he outer 

 margin. On the jxisterior wings the black band which crosses the ujjper part of the 

 cell of G. ulysses is broken on the median nervure and ceases, there being a short 

 band nearer the base towards the inner margin instead of the straight band of 

 C. ulysses ; the straight band of 0. idysses which crosses its disc is in U. xdyssides 

 broken on the middle median and on the second subcostal nervules, and forms a very 

 irregular instead of a straight discal band; the two black spots before the anal angle 

 are surrounded by metallic steel blue scales, and the spots in the row beyond them to 

 the apes are more conical.

31. Thysonotis aryanus sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside resembles T. hymelus YeW., but rather darker violaceous, 

 with the black marginal band on both wings wider than in that species, but narrower 

 than in T. piepersi Snell. 



Underside: both wings with much broader marginal black bands than in either 

 of those species. On the anterior wings the greenish blue subcostal hand extends 

 from the base to beyond the middle. On the posterior wings the black lunules in 

 the submarginal blue band are broader and indented on their outer edges instead of 

 being straight, as in T. hymetus ; the basal black bar is broader, and margined with 

 blue only at the base and along the costa for a short distance. 



Female. — Upperside ditfers from that sex of T. hymetus and T. piepersi in the 

 pale area being much more restricted, not extending on the anterior wings beyond 

 the lower end of the cell, and on the posterior \vings being only faintly represented by 

 a rather pale space crossing the wings before the middle. 



On the underside the pale area is represented by a rather broad white band, 

 which, however, is very much narrower than in the females of either T. hymetihs or 

 T. piepersi.

The wings are the same shape as T. piepersi and rather more elongate than

32. Chliaria xenia sp. nov. 



Male. — Upperside : anterior wings lirownish black, a pale whitish blue space 

 from the base to near the end of the cell and extending below it, and below the lowest 

 median nervule to three-fourths its length, and thence to the inner margin. Posterior 

 wings with a marginal row of conical spots of the same colour, situate between the 

 veins from the discoidal nervule to tlie anal angle; both wings in certain lights 

 brilliantly suffused with morpho blue. 



Underside: both wings brownish grey. Anterior wings with an indistinct spot at 

 the end of the cell ; the di.sc crossed beyond the middle by a row of contiguous brown 

 sj)Ots or bars, of which those between the ujiper discoidal and upper n\edian nervules 

 are out of line and nearer the margin; a rather broad outer-marginal pale brown 

 band, in which are situate a row of whitish lunules. Posterior wings with a black
