at its two lower corners betiring niotallic silvery-blue scales, and 

 crowned with u fine oi-ange line ; with another fine orange line at the 

 anal ano-le, outwardly marked with a few blue scales. Female, 

 Upperside, both icings fuliginous. Fwewlng with a large disoal bluish- 

 white patch. Hlndioing with the base slightly bluish- white ; the marginal 

 markings much as in the male, except that the inner series of black 

 lunules are inwardly defined by a fine white line. Underside, hoth 

 wings as in the male. 



Apparently nearest to " Plehelus " snelleni, Rober, Iris, vol. i, p. 54, 

 pi. iv, fig. 9, male (1888), from Bonthain in South Celebes and 

 Tomboegoe in East Celebes, from which the male diffei-s in having a 

 submar{);inal fuscous band on the upperside of the forewing ; and both 

 sexes differ in the disposition of the wJiite bands on the underside of 

 the forewing ; in Lamp'uUs snelleni the inner pair of lines are parallel 

 to on^ anolher, and both are continued to the submedian nervure not 

 fonnuig a Y, while the outer pair of lines form a Y, instead of the third 

 line reaching the submedian nervure, and the fourth line the second 

 median nervule. The markings of the underside of L. lunata agree 

 better with those of L. snelleni^ var. hatjenensis^ Rober, 1. c, pi. iv, 

 fig. 10, female, from Batian ; but the female of the present species 

 has the white areas on the upperside of both wings very much 

 smaller. 



Described from three males and two females kindly sent to me by 

 Heir H. Fruhstorfer.
