Transitions occur between tlio above forms. The only 

 other (J in the series has the fore-wing band much narrowed 

 and only extending to vein 2. In a ? it is still more re- 

 duced and only faintly indicated as far as the cell. Another 

 ? has the band twice as witle as in the ty[)ical form. 



Milionia Jcnoiolei, sp. n. (Pi. XII. fig. 6.) 



c? . Upperside. — Fore wing black faintly shot with deep 

 blue. Base metallic greenish blue, with a > -shaped inden- 

 tation of the ground-colour. Hind wing with basal half to 

 end of cell metallic greenish blue, distal half shot with deep 

 blue. 



Underside of fore wing black faintly shot with deep blue; 

 Base metallic greenish blue, extending to near end of cell as 

 far as vein 3. Hind wing black faintly shot with deep blue. 

 At base a metallic greenish-blue costal streak, a similar 

 streak along lower margin of cell on each side of median ; 

 a dark blue streak along inner margin. A suba])ical black 

 patch of short hair or androconia, the hairs of which are 

 directed outwardly. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen metallic greenish blue; abdo- 

 men black below. Legs metallic greenish blue on outer side. 



Sexes similar, ? without the hairy patch on hind wing 

 below. 



Length of fore wing, <^ ? , 22 mm.

Tiiis species seems nearly allied to callima, Roth. & Jord., 

 and which has also the patch of modified scales on the hind 

 wing below. Rothschild and Jordan, in the Deutseli. Ent. 

 Zeit. 1907, pp. 19-4-5, describe a similar structure in lanipriina, 

 and note that in eiujlennia, a very similar-looking species, 

 it is absent. Several other species of the genus exhibit the 

 same characteristic. 



^JUionia weis^kei ruhidi fascia, subsp; n. (PI. XII. fig. 7.) 



<J . Differs from weiskei, Roth., in the yellow band on fore 

 wing being a little narrower and constricted between vein ^ 

 and submedian. The apex is tipped with yellow, forming a 

 spot. On the hind wing the red proximal bordering of the 

 yellow band is much broader and widens posteriorly. The 

 outer edge of tlie yellow band is incurved and rounded be- 

 tween Veins 7 and 4, then convex to 2, and slightly incurved 

 from thf'nce to anal anale.
