Male. Wings above somewbat dark lavender-blue ; anterior wings witb tbo costal area and outer 

 margin somewbat broadly fuscous, widest at base and apex ; ^Dosterior wings witb tbe costal, posterior, and 

 abdominal margins somewbat broadly fuscous. Wings beneatb greyisb-wbite ; anterior wings witb tbe 

 costal area and outer margins sligbtly infuscated, and witb tbe following pale fuscous spots : — a transverse 

 linear one at tbe end of cell, one between tbird and fourtb subcostal nervules, one above upper discoidal 

 nervule, tbree in linear series and nearer outer margin, divided by tbe lower discoidal and first median 

 nervules, and two larger, and placed more inwardly, divided by tbe tbird median nervule ; obscure, waved 

 and broken submarginal and marginal pale fuscous fascias. Posterior wings witb seven large and prominent 

 black discal spots — one, small, between bases of costal and subcostal nervures, followed by two wbicb are 

 more rounded and mucb larger, one in cell, at about base of tbird median nervule, near wbicb is a smaller 

 spot, contiguous, but outside cell, and two situate on abdominal margin ; tbese are followed by a discal series 

 of six pale fuscous spots, tbe first and innermost of wbicb is situate between tbe subcostal nervules near 

 their base, second and tbii-d on each side of discoidal nervule, and fourtb, fiftb and sixtb in irregular series, 

 separated by tbe second and tbird median nervules ; a transverse pale fuscous fascia at end of cell, and a 

 mucb-waved pale fuscous submarginal fascia, between wbicb and outer margin are nine marginal spots 

 tbe upper four of wbicb are pale fuscous, and tbe remaining five almost black. Body and legs more or 

 less concolorous witb wings. 



Female. Anterior wings above fuscous, with a pale greyish-white discal space mucb suffused with 

 bluish, extending from near base through centre of cell above, to about median nervure beneatb, and 

 outwardly reaching centre of submedian nervules. Posterior wings above pale fuscous, with a similar but 

 smaller pale discal area as on anterior wings, and witb the posterior margin fuscous as in male. Wings 

 beneath as in the other sex.

 (Durnford) ; Malacca (coll. Godm. & Salv. and Biggs — coll. Dist.) — Nias Island (coll. Dist.).

* I have named this species after my late esteemed friend Mr. James Lamb, who some years ago collected most 

 assiduously the Coleoptera of Province Wellesley. Two special memoirs have been published on portions of his collection, via. 

 " A Catalogue of Longicorn Coleoptera collected at Penang, &e.," by F. P. Pascoe (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1806), and " Notes on rare 

 and descriptions of new species of Buprestid;K collected by Mr. James Lamb in Penang," by Edwd. Saunders (Trans. Ent. 

 Soc. Loud. ser. 3, vol. v. 1867). The remainder of his collection still remains in this country, and the gi-eater part practically 

 unworked.
