beneath and the apical spot of the fore wings clear golden 
yellow instead of green. In the same way it differs from 
B. hypoxantha, which has these markings pale yellow. The 
submarginal band of the hind wings is distinct as in B. hy- 
pochlora.

We think that neither of these species can be justly referred 
to B. hypochlora, Feld. The plate above referred to repre- 
sents the colouring of the underside of the hind wings as green, 
whereas in one of our proposed species this portion is yellow, 
and in the other golden, almost orange. 
16. Paphia cyanea. 
3. Exp. 3°25. Apex of the anterior wings angular, pos- 
terior wings with a marginal appendage; wings glossy blue, 
black towards the costa and outer margin; a wide refulgent 
blue band crosses the hind wings from the posterior angle, 
past the end of the cell to beyond the second branch of the 
median nervure of the anterior wings; this band is followed 
by a spot of the same colour between the radial nervures, 
another being situated between the upper radial and subcostal 
nervures. Entire surface beneath silvery white, covered with 
minute transverse black lines, interspersed on the anterior 
wings with darker patches: posterior wings lighter, the anal 
half of the outer margin occupied with a buff-coloured elon- 
gated mark with a green margin, and containing five white 
lunules tipped externally with a blue followed by a black 
spot; palpi streaked with seven lines alternately black and 
white. Antenne black, with whitish marks beneath.

Certainly a Paphia, but quite unlike any member of the 
genus in coloration. 
17. Paphia tyrianthina. 
3. Exp. 3°50. Like P. centaurus, Feld., but has the an- 
terior wings more falcate and elongated; a short middle dis- 
coidal nervure is also present ; the purplish tint is more diffused 
and less broken up by blue markings; the posterior wings 
have no marginal appendage; the underside is generally 
darker and the cross lines less distinct.
