Neiv Lepidoptera from the Schouten Islands. 77 



o. Upperside deep blue with narrow black margins a little wider 

 on hind-w iii". 



Underside black. Fore-wing with a broad white band narrowing 

 anteriorly and ending in a point at vein 6, entering cell at lower 

 angle, distally incurved between inner margin and vein 3 ; a greenish- 

 blue stripe along upper part of cell from base to its end. Hind- 

 wing with a broader white band than on fore-wing, and narrowing 

 from inner margin to vein 5; a greenish-blue basal bar; a sub- 

 marginal thin scalloped line the points of which rest on a thin 

 greenish-blue marginal line, the spots thus formed being deeper 

 black than the ground-colour. 



$. Upperside blackish-brown with a well-defined white band 

 crossing both wings. The band on fore-wing forms a small spot in 

 lower angle of cell and extends above vein 4; it does not lill the 

 base of cellule 2 and its outer edge is not so well defined as the 

 inner. On the hind-wing the band narrows to the inner margin 

 and extends from near base to beyond cell, its outer edge being 

 straight and well defined. 



Underside similar to <^. Fore-wing with costal stripe broader and 

 somewh.it larger. Hind-wing with band narrower than in cJ, its 

 outer edge straight instead of curved; marginal spots more heavily 

 denned by greenish-blue. 



Length of fore-wing : (J 16 mm., $ 18 mm. 



18. Deudorix ceramensis maudei, subsp. nov. 



(Plate V, fig. 4, <J, 5, $.) 



This peculiar species * is evidently closely allied to 

 despoena, Hew. The pattern of the underside is almost 

 as in Hewitson's species, but the blue on the upperside 

 is replaced by bright orange-brown in the <$. 



o. Upperside. Fore-unng black with an oblong median patch 

 of bright orange-brown extending from base to vein 3, anteriorly 

 rounded and bending obliquely inward from lb to inner margin. 

 In the typical form this patch extends above vein 3. Hind-ioing 

 bright orange-brown ; base near costa to vein 5 and to just beyond 

 angle of 7 and 5, black; fringe black; tail black tipped with white. 

 In the typical form the costal black is extended but less so at the 

 base.
