Euryphene lep>totypa } sp. n. 



$ . Both wings black, with pale steel-blue suffusion : 

 primaries with the suffusion confined to the inner marginal 

 area below the cell and vein 3, not extending to the base nor 

 to the tornus ; the oblique white band from vein 10 to 5 

 terminates below the latter vein in a bluish-white patch 

 reaching nearly to the termen ; apex with a small defined 

 white patch : secondaries with the blue suffusion extending 

 all over the wing below vein 8 almost to 1 a, and well into 

 the postmedian area, leaving the terminal area broadly and 

 evenly black. Underside uniformly pale bronzy green in 

 both wings : primaries with the white marks only showing 

 through, the oblique white band only reaching just over 

 vein 5 : secondaries with an irregular whitish angled dash 

 in the middle of the costa between veins 7 and 8, with the 

 trace of a dusky subterminal line, in front of which is a trace 

 of a dusky postmedian curved band roughly parallel with the 

 subterminal line.

Euryphene makal'i, sp. n. 



S ' Upperside similar to the preceding species (E. leplo- 

 typa, B-B.), except that the narrow oblique band of the 

 primaries has developed into a broad bluish-white oblique 

 patch, extending below and beyond vein 5 into a yet larger 

 patch which reaches well below vein 3. Underside of both 

 wings brownish olive-green : primaries with the pale markings 

 showing through, the oblique patch, however, very slightly 

 so ; in the cell there are four spots darkly outlined — a narrow 

 small oval one at the base, two in the middle below each 

 other, the upper smaller one being a twin spot, the lower 

 larger and irregular, the fourth much larger, closing the cell ; 

 a trace of an upright, postmedian, brownish, curved stripe 

 tapering upwards to about vein 5 ; an obscure trace of a 

 second similarly coloured band nearer the termen, followed 

 by an obscure trace of a like-coloured subterminal line : 

 secondaries with a dark point at the base of the cell, followed 

 by two small rouud spots sharply outlined with black ; a
