series of white markings immediately beyond the discal 

 row of spots. I have never seen this in L. Trochilus, 

 which is, besides, a species Httle hable to vary. 



LyccEna Felderi, n. sp. (PI. X. figs. 4, 6.) 



$ . Wings brown above, showing in some hghts a dull 

 violet tinge. A narrow, dark-edging line before the 

 fringe, which is brown, indistinctly spotted Avith darker. 

 Hindwings tailed. 



Underside: wings lighter brown. Foreioings: a trans- 

 verse band near base, an oblong spot closing cell, and a 

 submacidar band beyond middle, strongly broken on second 

 median nervule. All these markings are of the ground 

 colour, thinly edged by darker brown, and surrounded by 

 white. An indistinct row of brown spots, surmounted by 

 brown crescents, along hind-margin. Hindwings: mark- 

 ings similar to those on forewings, but more irregular. 

 The spot above root of tail is black, spott/cd with golden, 

 and surmounted by a fulvous crescent. There are a few 

 additional golden scales at anal angle. Fringe more dis- 

 tinctly spotted than on upper-side. 



2 . Wings brown, forewings shot Avith vivid blue at base. 

 Hindwings with a marginal series of spots, indistinctly 

 surmounted by blueish crescents. The spot above root of 

 tail is largest and blackest. The line before the fringe is 

 on hindA\ings preceded by a narrow white line, most dis- 

 tinct towards anal angle. Underside: as in ^, but the 

 ground colour more ochreous, and the markings, especially 

 those along the hind-margins of both pairs of wings, much 

 more distinct The fine dark line before the fringe is weU 

 marked an all the wings.

This species is allied to L. Macropkthahna, Feld., but 

 differs materially in possessing a submacular band between 

 the r- :. -ceUular spot and the base of the wmg, 1 possess 

 a single specimen (<?) of a closely allied species from 

 Borneo, which wiU, I think, ultimately require description. 



Lye. Felderi belongs to the section Lampde, Hu.n., 

 which is distinguished by the possession of a f/^^'^ J^"";^^" 

 wing, and by the presence of one or two metalho spots at 

 the anal angi of the liindwing, on the ^'^^^'ff'\J^^^^:

 they are strongly of the nature of a colour distinction, aa hich
