beneath and the apical spot of the fore wings clear golden 

 yellow instead of green. In the same way it differs from 

 B. hypoxanthaj which has these markings pale yellow. The 

 submarginal band of the hind wings is distinct as in B. hy- 

 pochlora.

We think that neither of these species can be justly referred 

 to B. hypochlora^ Feld. The plate above referred to repre- 

 sents the colouring of the underside of the hind wings as green, 

 whereas in one of our proposed species this portion is yellow, 

 and in the other golden, almost orange. 



16. Paphia cyanea. 



^ . Exp. 3*25. Apex of the anterior wings angular, pos- 

 terior wings with a marginal appendage ; wings glossy blue, 

 black towards the costa and outer margin ; a wide refulgent 

 blue band crosses the hind wings from the posterior angle, 

 past the end of the cell to beyond the second branch of the 

 median nervure of the anterior wings ; this band is followed 

 by a spot of the same colour between the radial nervures, 

 another being situated between the upper radial and subcostal 

 nervures. Entire surface beneath silvery white, covered with 

 minute transverse black lines, interspersed on the anterior 

 wings with darker patches : posterior wings lighter, the anal 

 half of the outer margin occupied with a buff-coloured elon- 

 gated mark with a green margin, and containing five white 

 lunules tipped externally with a blue followed by a black 

 spot; palpi streaked with seven lines alternately black and 

 white. Antennae black, with whitish marks beneath.

Certainly a Paphia^ but quite unlike any member 

 genus in coloration. 



17. Paphia tyrianthina. 



^ . Exp. 3*50. Like P. centauruSy Feld., but has the an- 

 terior wings more falcate and elongated ; a short middle dis- 

 coidal nervure is also present ; the purplish tint is more diffused 

 and less broken up by blue markings ; the posterior wings 

 have no marginal appendage ; the underside is generally 

 darker and the cross lines less distinct.
