Cykestis 'Nais, n. s. 



Very near G. nivea, but distinguished from it by many 

 minute differences of form and marking. On the upper 

 wings the median vein is more abruptly arched beyond 

 its second branch ; on the hind-wingSj the outer angle is 

 more prominent, and the tails are vertical instead of 

 divergent. 



Male. Upper side : the space between the two first 

 cellular strigge is blue instead of brown, the orange spot 

 at the outer angle is margined on the inuer side with 

 blue lunules, and the inner marginal streak coincides on 

 the two wings, forming a regular curved unbroken line, 

 just within which is a streak of slaty-blue, with a metallic 

 gloss. 



Beneath: the markings are much darker than in C. 

 nivea, and the ground colour is of a more bluish-pearly 

 tint; a rufous tinge extends more or less along the mid- 

 dle of the marginal band on both wings. 



Expanse 2-1 inch. 



JSa6.— Timor (Wallace). 



The continuous marginal strigte on both wings, and 

 the less divergent tails, at once distinguish this species 

 from its very close ally C. nivea. 



Cyrestis Seneca, n. s. 



Very near C. Paulinus, compared with a female of which 

 the differences are as follows : 



Female. Above: the dusky border is much wider, 

 having a very narrow oblique white band, which is still 

 further reduced by a faint dusky line just within it ; all 

 the wings have a very fine submarginal black line, which 

 is finely edged with white on the anterior wings, while on 

 the hind-wings it is placed on a narrow white border, 

 with a dusky edge within the white fringe ; there is an in- 

 terrupted white line, very faint on the upper- wings, just 

 beyond the row of dusky ovate white-ringed spots. 



Beneath : the dusky margin is much paler than in G. 

 Paulinus, the black submarginal line is equally defined 

 as above, and the two central lunules of the posterior 

 band are considerably smaller than the others. The tails 

 are long-er than in G. Patilimis.
