with a faint brown line, internal to which is a series of brown 

 dots. Cilia white. Hindtving silky-white, with brown spots; a 

 subbasal series of four spots, first between subcostal and costal 

 nervures, second in middle of cellj third just below cell and 

 nearer base than others, fourth near abdominal margin, a very 

 conspicuous darker brown spot near costa at about middle, below 

 which maij l)e another spot smaller and paler, end of cell marked 

 with a very faint brown line; beyond cell a crooked row of five 

 spots from subcostal to median nervure, the second of which is 

 larger and has its longer axis placed at right angles to the direc- 

 tion of the row; outer margin marked Avith a brown line internal 

 to which is a series of brown spots between the nervules, above 

 which again is a series of faint arches. Cilia white. 



9. 13-14 mm. (14). Antennse, thorax and abdomen as in (J; 

 palpi longer than in (J; forewing with costa slightly more arched, 

 apex blunter, outer margin more convex. 



Upper side. — Forewing white, with black costal and outer 

 margins; central white suboval area larger than in (^, otherwise 

 the silvery-blue area of $ is replaced by black in 9; base black, 

 internal to which is a bluish suffusion, which faintly extends over 

 a portion of white area. Cilia black, towards angle white. 

 Hindwing as in (J, but with slightly less blue. 



Underside exactly as in ^ and showing the same variation. 



Miskin described the female only, and from a not too fresh 

 specimen. A female of this species was submitted to the late 

 Mr. L. de Niceville, who thought his C, ceyx^' from Java might 

 be identical with it. I have examined both his descriptions and 

 figures (I think he figures 2 ^J's and not (J 9), and am of opinion 

 that though closely allied they are two distinct species. H. H. 

 Druce has described a species, C . dilectissima,\ from Kina Balu, 

 Borneo, wdiich is allied to, if not identical with, the species under 

 consideration, but I have not seen a specimen.
