more elongate; the submarginal row of spots of A. melusine 

 are only represented by four spots near the apex. 



It is a larger insect tlian A. melusine^ but very close to it. 



Expanse of wings 2f inches.

Cuphafumosa. 



(J . Upperside : both wings fuliginous dark brown, the cells 

 and basal two thirds of the wings paler fuliginous brown ; 

 the anterior wings are crossed from the middle median nervule 

 to the inner margin at one third from the outer margin by 

 three ill-defined bright brown spots placed under each other 

 between the veins. Posterior wings crossed beyond the cell 

 by a similar row of spots, outside which is a row of very 

 indistinct dark brown spots. 



Underside with the basal three fourths paler fuliginous 

 brown, without any transverse lines or markings ; the outer 

 fourth is darker purplish brown, the inner side of the outer 

 fourth is crossed from near the costal to near the inner 

 margin by a row of orange-brown spots, centred with black 

 and nearly surrounded by pale violaceous brown ; a pale sub- 

 marginal dark line crowned by pale violaceous-brown lunules. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches.

Doleschallia Comru, Godm. & Salv. 



(^ . Upperside : both wings resemble D. dascj/hts, Godm. & 

 Salv., in colour, but the basal third of each wing is darker 

 chocolate-brown. Anterior wings with a row of spots across 

 the disk arranged as in D. dascyhis; the sjiots are eight in 

 number, the two nearest the costal margin white and small ; 

 the next four spots are pale blue centred with white, the 

 fourth spot being larger than the third ; the fifth spot is very 

 large and elongated on the outer and inner sides, the latter 

 extending as far as the cell ; the fifth spot is abbreviated 

 inwardly, but is wider than the fourth ; the seventh and 

 eighth spots are much smaller and are situate further from the 

 margin. 



Underside scarcely distinguishable from D. dusci/lus. 



Expanse of wings li^ inches.

The presence of both sexes of this species in the same 

 collection enables me to describe the male of D. Comrii^ 

 hitherto, 1 believe, undescribed. ^I'he female sj)ccimeiis in 

 Mr. Meek's collection agree almost exactly with the figure
