Wings above violaceous-white ; anterior wings with the costal margin spotted with fuscous and the 

 apical area (not quite reaching to outer angle) dark fuscous ; posterior wings with the fringe spotted with

 dark annulations. 



Exp. wings, 24 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (coll. Staudinger). 



Genus ALLOTINUS (aiitm, p. 208). 

 Mr. Butler's interpretation of this genus has already been referred to {antea, p. 451). 



8. Allotinus alkamah, n.sp. (Tab. XLIV., fig. 3 a' .) 



Male. Allied to A. siibriolaceus, Felder,* from which it differs by the much larger violaceous area 

 to the anterior wings, and consequent considerable diminution in the width of the blackish margin to the 

 same. Wings beneath as in A. subviolaceus (judging from Felder's figure), but having some distinct short 

 transverse darker strigaj. 



Female. Resembling the male, but the posterior wings paler and more violaceous. 



Exp. wings, <? , 26 millim. ; ? , 35 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Malacca (coll. Staudinger). — Sumatra (Forbes — coll. Dist.). 



Genus CYANIRIS (antea, p. 210). 

 8. Cyaniris jynteana, var. (Tab. XLIV., fig. 6 J .) 



Ci/<iniHsj>jnteini,i, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 188-3, p. 524, t. 48, f. 10; De Nic. J. A. S. Beng. vol. lii. p. 69, n. 5, 

 t. 1, f. 7, 7« (1884). t 



"Near C. juispa. Male. — Fore wing comparatively shorter, the blue less intense and slightly paler; 

 the discal area slightly white speckled ; with a blackish outer marginal band of one-twelfth inch in width ; 

 hind wing with a narrow macular marginal band. Underside greyish white ; fore wing with a slender 

 indistinct dusky-black discocellular streak, four transverse discal, outwardly oblique, short linear spots, 

 a small costal spot, a submarginal and marginal row of lunular spots ; hind wing with three small black 

 subbasal spots, an irregular discal transverse series of nine spots, an indistinct submarginal and marginal 

 row of dentate lunular spots." 



The above is Mr. Moore's description of the male, the following is Mr. de Niceville's 

 description of the other sex : — 



''Female. — Upperside, foretri)ig with all but the middle of the disc (which is white glossed with 

 iridescent blue) black ; a discocellular black spot. Hindwing blackish, white in the middle, glossed with 

 blue, and along the veins irrorated with black scales ; a submarginal series of pale lunules. Underside 

 marked exactly as in the male." 



* A .Javan species. 



I Both Mr. Mocn-e and Mr. de Niceville seeia to ha\'e described this species under the saTtie name at about tlie same 

 tiiiie. ^Fr. Moore's description, however, has priority, as tlie portion of the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal' in wliicb 

 Mr. de Kiceville's contribution appeared, though bearing date 1883, was really delayed in pubhcation till i884.
