This remarkably distinct species, of which the colour of 

 the head and anterior portion of the pronotum is not the least 

 peculiar character, has the broad anterior wings (in female) 

 of the Erebus group, whilst the markings of the posterior 

 wings somewhat remotely resemble those of P. pohjmnestory 

 Cram. 



Fam. Lycsenidse. 

 Deeamas, gen. no v. 



This genus is closely allied to Pori'tia, but differs by 

 possessing Jive subcostal nervules in the anterior wings ; of 

 these the first is very short, emitted at about one third before 

 the end of cell, and joins the costal nervure ; second emitted 

 nearer first than third ; third from end of cell ; fourth bifur- 

 cating from third at about half its length ; fifth bifurcating 

 from third about midway between base of fourth and apex of 

 wing. 



Deramas livens , n. sp. 



Wings above dark coerulean-blue ; anterior wings with the 

 neuration, costal, cellular, and apical areas, outer margin 

 narrowly to outer angle, and inner margin narrowly dark 

 fuscous ; posterior wings with a cellular tuft of long hairs, 

 costal and abdominal areas, posterior margin, and a more or 

 less continuous series of marginal spots placed on the ner- 

 vules dark fuscous. Wings beneath pale brownish ochra- 

 ceous ; both wings with a narrow, linear, much waved and 

 dislocated castaneous fascia, between which and outer margin 

 the colour is much suffused with greyish ; posterior wings with 

 a short, narrow, strongly waved linear blackish fascia at anal 

 angle. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Exp. wings 30 millim.
