Zcritis hit I'Jiinhr lata, sp. n. 



Allied to C. harpax, Fabr., but differs in the greater extent 

 of the reddish yellow on the fore wing, thus making the black 

 border narrower; there is a black spot at the end of the dis- 

 coidal cell. The base of both wings is suffused with black. 



The hind wing has a narrow black line along the hind 

 margin with a grey fringe ; the costal portion is black. 

 There are two tails, the last being very thick. 



The underside is paler than in Z.harpax, with the silver lines 

 more marked ; between the tw'O tails on the hind wing is a 

 large spot of silver. 



This may ])robably turn out to be the female of Z.fallax. 



Exp. 30 millim.

 Aphnceus chalyheatus ^ sp. n. 



Nearest to A. orcas, Drury, but is much smaller and the 

 blue not so bright nor so distinctly marked on either of the 

 wings. 



The underside is a deep brownish red with spots of silver 

 enclosed in black ; from the end of the discoidal cell below 

 the first median nervule is a silver streak on the fore wing.

 tion of two oblique silver lines between the submediaii and 

 internal nervures.
