On Two new Species of Oriental Lycsenidge. 155 



XXIV. — Descriptions of Two new Species of Oriental 

 LycEenidaj. By H. Gkose Smith, B.A., F.E.S., &c. 



Pseudonotis jlorinda. 



Male. — Upperside. Both wings dark rather shining blue, 

 irrorated with black, and with broad brownish-black costal 

 and outer margins, the veins crossing the blue area also 

 brownish black ; the outer edge of the blue area on the poste- 

 rior wings is indented between the veins. 



Underside. Both wings lighter brownish black, crossed 

 from the upper discoidal nervule towards the apex by a 

 common band of greyish white ; the band on the anterior 

 wings is narrowest towards the apex and gradually widens to 

 the inner margin ; the band on the posterior wings is of 

 nearly uniform width and crosses them in the middle from 

 the costal to tlie inner margin. On the posterior wings is a 

 submarginal band of large silvery-blue lunules, extending 

 from the second subcostal nervule to the inner margin ; these 

 lunules are centred with large contiguous oval black spots, the 

 three spots nearest the anal angle narrower than the others ; 

 the tails, which are single, are rather thick. 



Expanse of wings If inch. 



Hah. Guadalcanar, Solomon Islands [G. M. Woodford). 



Described from a single specimen. 



Myrina milo. 



Female. — Upperside. Both wings greyish brown, crossed 

 by a common central broad white band extending from the 

 lower discoidal nervule of the anterior to the inner margin of 

 the posterior wings, as in M. danis, Felder, but the band is 

 wider on the anterior wings, and on the posterior wings does 

 not extend so far along the costal margin. On the posterior 

 wings is a very narrow, well-defined, submarginal white 

 line, extending nearly to the apex. 



Underside with the white band as above, but on the anterior 

 wings it extends nearer to the apex and costal margin, and in the 

 dark marginal area thereis a band of narrow blue lunules. On 

 the posterior wings, in the dark marginal area, is a submar- 

 ginal band of silvery azure-blue lunules, centred with black, 

 those nearest the apex the smallest, gradually increasing in 

 size to the submedian nervure ; above the anal angle the 

 lunule with its central spot is the smallest ; above tlie two
