104 A Visit to Damma Island : 



Cyaniris dammce, sp. n. 



Expanse 30 millim. 



Above somewhat resembling puspa, Horsfield (from Java), 

 but the black-brown borders are much reduced in breadth, 

 especially towards the internal angle of the wings ; on the 

 hind-wing-costa, however, the brown-black is more abundant 

 than in puspa. Where the iridescence on the wings does not 

 show, the ground-colours show more slaty and with less grey- 

 white scalings than in puspa ; the iridescence, too, is of a more 

 brilliant camilean-blue in dammce. Abdomen, thorax, head, 

 and antennae much as in puspa. Below the general appear- 

 ance is somewhat like C. ladonides, de l'Orza, from Japan, 

 the ground-colour being a very bluish white, with silvery- 

 blue scales at the base; the marginal row of dots is very 

 slightly marked, and the submarginal lunular line is rather 

 fainter on the fore wing. The discal row of spots on the 

 fore wing forms a curve reaching the costa one third from 

 apex and the inner margin about one fourth from the angle ; 

 from this angle the first, third, fourth, and fifth spots follow 

 the direction of the curve, but the second inclines towards 

 the base of the wing ; the sixth spot is thrown a little 

 inwards from the others. 



On the hind wings are dark spots at the origin of vein 8 

 and two others between veins 8 and 7 dividing the costa 

 roughly into three parts ; below the second spot is another in 

 the cell, and in a line with these a spot on the inner angle 

 from a row of four small spots curves towards the outer spot 

 on the costa ; there is a dark spot one fourth along the inner 

 margin from the base of the wing, and a small spot rather 

 outside the curve between veins 2 and 1 b.
