Cethosia Cyrene, n. s. 



Male. Near G. Cydalina and C. Damasippe j anterior 

 wings rather more elongate. 



Above : blue-black, the basal red portion well-defined, 

 as in 0. Damasippe, but browner ; the anterior wings 

 with the marginal lunules more distinctly marked, the 

 submarginal white spots largest between the first and 

 second median nervules, decreasing towards the apex, the 

 white patch rather smaller than in G. Gydalina, but larger 

 than in G. Damasippe ; posterior wings with the marginal 

 white lunules distinctly marked, and an inner band of six 

 white quadrate-lunate spots, divided by fine nervures, and 

 each enclosing a triangular black spot. Beneath: it differs 

 from the allied species nearly as above. 



Hah . — Waigiou . 



This fine species differs at first sight from all its allies 

 by the conspicuous white band on the hind- wings, which 

 is sometimes faintly tinged with rufous. It is certainly 

 as distinct as any others of the Gydippe and Ghrysippe 

 group. 



Genus Cireochroa, Doubleday. 



This genus has increased since the date of publication 

 of the " Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera,'' from three 

 species to sixteen, given in the following list, including 

 three which I now describe as new. Two inhabit India, 

 and fifteen the Malay Archipelago, nine being found in 

 the Indo-Malay region, three in Celebes, and two in the 

 Papuan Islands. They frequent sunny openings in the 

 forests, and resemble in their flight the genus Argynnis.
